The car doesn't post with the cooler absent, no screws at all. And they are all the correct screws and none are missing.

I have only ever removed a graphics chip with no intent of reattaching it. I definitely don't have the tools to do BGA work and based on the coolers poor cooling of the sli chip onboard I wouldn't be surprised if it was dead, but I'm leaning towards there might be a short somewhere just slamming...

If you are referring to the 1 black one where the other 3 on the back are silver and the other 4 on the opposing die are also silver that is actually the spec according to official pcb pictures of the card. And I don't intend on reviving this for my personal system I really bought it just as a...

I recently came into possession of a non-working GTX 590, you know the deal no video but fan spins. Visually the card is great however it's pretty clear it's been taken apart before due to how easy the screws came out, a few heads were almost stripped, and it looks as if the BIOS sticker has...
