Is It a Good Idea to Buy an RX 6600 That Needs Clock Speed Configuration?
Asked by

I came across an RX 6600 for sale on an online marketplace for 900 reais (about $167.54). The seller mentioned that it works perfectly but requires clock speed configuration during the initial setup. I managed to negotiate the price down to 800 reais (approximately $148.93). Do you think it's worth the risk to buy it under these conditions?

Honestly, it seems a bit sketchy. I'd only go for it if I could check it in the BIOS myself, run some hardware info checks, and stress test it while keeping an eye on the temperatures. I've installed tons of graphics cards, and I've never had to adjust clock speeds. It might have been tampered with and could potentially overheat.

I haven't heard of needing to configure clock speeds for that card, and I've been into computer hardware for over 20 years. That's a huge red flag for me; it sounds like a possible scam.
