I bought a broken GTX750 graphics card

TL;DR / Geek Summary:

Hardware Review: MSI GTX 750 (HEVC support) purchased from Taobao with persistent “flower screen” artifacts.

Lab Result: Stress testing with EWSA (WiFi cracking) and games led to total failure despite “hair dryer/oven” reflow attempts.

Buyer Beware: Warning against ultra-cheap second-hand listings where shipping costs negate the return value.

# Preface

The thing is, I bought a small GTX750 graphics card on Taobao for the first time when I was learning to install a computer. It cost me more than 130 yuan. But it had a distorted screen when it was sent to me. Although it is now in my cabinet as a figurine, I still want to say that if you want to buy it, buy it from a more expensive store. Don’t go to some cheap stores or Xianyu to take advantage of it. I suffered a loss (the courier fee for returning the money for buying a card is very expensive).

# GTX750 graphics card

A GTX750 graphics card supports HEVC hardware decoding and encoding. I actually bought the wrong card because I didn’t do enough homework. In fact, I could have enjoyed better performance by paying a little more money to buy a 750Ti. . .

There are many types of interfaces, at least more universal than the DP+HDMI+DVI of the GTX960.

# After installing the motherboard

There is no problem with the installation, but the network card blocks the fan, so the fan noise is quite loud, and the cooling effect of the graphics card is also average, but the power consumption of the graphics card is not high, so it is not a big problem.

# Other perspectives

6PIN power supply used

# Overall appearance

It’s actually my E5 computer XD

# Run wifi password cracking EWSA

The speed is OK

# Test the machine

Time is running out. After the machine is baked, the screen is distorted when playing games

# The screen is distorted. The screen is distorted

The fleeting graphics card

# The screen is distorted

# Various flower screens

# minecraft

# Finally, I used a hair dryer to save the video memory.

In fact, it only worked for a while, and then the screen was distorted again.

# Follow-up

This GTX750 eventually broke down, so I replaced it with a GTX960. After the oven repair, it still couldn’t be turned back on, so I threw it into the figurine stand. Haha.
