My gpu Ambiguities

[soulslike]

I ordered a custom gaming pc and when I received that, I noticed my gpu box foam is damaged!?
Now I really concerned and upset that is my new gpu and system second-hand or refresh!?

Query with the place you bought it from. If OCUK you can raise a ticket or create a post in the customer service forum.

Its not something I'd personally waste my time querying though tbh. Looks like it could have happened during shipping. If the card is not damaged then it did its job.

Just looks like someone has been a bit fat fingered trying to remove it from the foam - certainly wouldn't be something I would be worrying about

Absolutely nothing to be concerned about IMO.

how can I make sure that my gpu is heath and work properly?

Just use it as you normally would. There are plenty of apps you can use to stress test it (3D Mark for example).

Use the computer and play some games.

It is fine, don't worry about it. I'm surprised they even bothered to send you the box
