It may be bruised. It may be dinged. The path to victory is rarely traveled without scars of the flesh... or plastic? This card has been around the yard but that's the kind of hardware you want on your side. (Without too much drama, there's just a few superficial scratches, but drama is the point, right?)... Fans! There of them! The Axial-tech fan design has been newly tuned with a reversed central fan direction for less turbulence. Dual ball fan bearings can last up to twice as long as stupid, dumb sleeve bearing designs.
