I didn't expect this!

Nice result OP!

Got to be £150+ of profit there. Nice!
No profiteering in the Members Market:p :D


Mmmm Minty :D

Nice work.

I'm waiting for this horror to arrive, for £4,20.... i have masks, rubber gloves, a screwdriver, bucket and lots of washing-up liquid.

Great result if you clean it and it works, so long as you don’t catch the Black Death cleaning it…. :D
 
Nice work op. Something warm and fuzzy about injecting a new lease of life into worn out components and things.

Post the results when you do the work! Be interested to see. awesome deal. Was that fb market place or something you got that from?
 
I spilt coffee on my K70 (non RGB), and it caused a few keys to continually register phantom presses, but I cleaned the affected switches with isopropyl alcohol, pressed the switches loads of times and eventually it started working properly again. Saved me having to by a new one at over £100.

My keyboard is pretty dirty (I really should take all the caps off and clean it, but that one above is right out of a horror movie. Good luck cleaning it!
 

Yep the cello tape fell apart so elastic bands it is.


What was left of the original fans


Backplate is scratched a lot. Screws are mismatch and only 3 original screws around the chip. (if anyone got Sapphire screws please let me know)


As you can see some bent fins.


More bent fins.


Bent IO plate.


Don't ask! I don't have clue lol.


Some caps I had to solder back on. thermal pad basically fell a part.


Shroud melted back together using heat gun.


New fans arrived from a well known Chinese app.

Just noticeable.


Looking decent I suppose.


Pretty silent for cheap knock off fans.


Temps slightly better than the 2 120mm fans I had strapped to it.

So in all this cost me £27.50 for the Sapphire Nitro+ RX580 8GB
 
Would say apart from the abuse and utter chav-like previous ownership trail, a worthy punt and well done on getting it back running again!
 
That's nuts :eek: same for Hambug.

Glad the hard work paid off. I wonder what made them use toothpaste? Made they miss understood the advert saying cool on the box :D

Sorry for the delay on this, a little bit of a delay on sending it, i've started cleaning it, it is pretty bad but it works, needs a new space bar, about £8 on bay... i'll post some pics tomorrow when its back in one piece.
