Zero Frozr - Stay Undetected

Pros: Runs almost any game
Easy to overclock (wouldn't recommend however due to temps )
Cons: Less than a year of use and it died
Ran very hot
LOTS of card bend in a very sturdy PCIe slot and case
Overall Review: I lost a friend today. My RX 580 died. Whenever it starts up, I open a program and I get a blank random colored screen. I have looked up this issue and all signs point to the graphics card. Despite a good case and a sturdy PCIe slot, this card bent more than a plastic ruler. It also ran very hot in a case with 4 fans within a foot of it. I really liked this card when it worked and the price has only gone down making a better deal than what I bought it for. I have no clue if it came with a warranty and I was perfectly content with its performance up to today. Disappointed, buy a 1660 if you have the money.
