Online purchase through AliExpress Dedicated Thread

[k-four-nine]

did you get the graphic card at home ? or did you have to go to customs to get it released ? was the card worth it ? quality and performance wise etc ?

No, I had to collect it from The GPO, a local postman informed me that my package is stuck at customs. And yes the card was indeed worth it!

First, I tested it via GPU-Z and also ran some benchmarks and it's exactly what it says on the tin.

Then I took off the coolers and heat sink and peeked at the processor; and it is 100% genuine Nvidia GTX750Ti with 2GB vRAM through and through.

I bought if from HuaPu Store and I highly recommend this store to everyone.

I was thinking of ordering a SSD for my laptop

Unlike GPUs which can run for over 2 decades if cared properly, SSDs have a very limited life. They wear out the more you use them and their performance also gets slower overtime so I wouldn't recommend ordering used SSDs as they can be a hit or miss.

Besides, unlike GPUs; SSDs are widely available locally. I just bought a used Samsung SM841 128GB SSD from Hafeez Center for Rs.3,000 and it's been working flawlessly for several months now.

So... My personal recommendation would be to buy them locally.

Hope it helps.

You may buy SSD from Ali Express just had to pay 1200 Rs due to weight. Nayi disk ka koi muqabla nahi. Ask seller to just send disk in that air tight wraps, else more than disk its weight of its dabba and things

can you recommend aliexpress selller who you bought SSD or something similar from ?

[aliadnan1984]

awesome ! what was the price and what custom did you pay ?

SSD is the future. It's shock proof, unlike traditional harddisk that fail very easily, especially in laptops (due to shocks and impacts of putting laptop in here and there). SSD failure rate is significantly lesser compared to traditional hard disks and they are actually faster. SSD > HDD period.

lets see how mine goes I've ordered the Windforce GTX750ti from the same store and told seller to write 15$ and still waiting for it to arrive ...Wish me a good luck xD

I bought Samsung's external SSDalmost 18 months back, Max size then was 128 GB. Now that model has been obsoleted. Samsung T5 is latest model, can buy from any seller giving coupons and free shipping and have good feedback pmus has previously shipped to Pakistan. Wait for Tech Monday sale or black Friday. Moreover, first i selected device from Pakistani market then ordered same from Ali Express whicj was at almost 50% less cost.

Slightly used!

The great thing about Samsung SSDs is that you can run "Samsung Magician" software which will tell you everything about the condition of an SSD:

So, only go for Samsung SSDs.

awesome ! what was the price and what custom did you pay ?

The price of The GPU was a bit over 8,000 Rupees and I paid 500 Rupees in terms of custom duty.

And... Here my experience at the custom office:

Below is my detailed experience with a راشی custom official: I ordered a GTX750Ti* for my Dell 990 MT and its invoice was 8,000 rupees with free shipping from China Air Mail. According to FBR Tariff; I was supposed to pay only 3% i.e Rs.240 but the man at customs said that I'm 'supposed' to pay Rs.3,000 otherwise my shipment will be confiscated. At first; I played dumb. I falsely claimed that I order stuff all the time from AliExpress (Total lie!) and never been charged that much before. An…

Windforce 1X or 2X?

I went with The 2X, it was a tight fit in my Dell 990 MT but I squeezed it anyway!

Anyhow, make sure to replace the thermal paste. When I took off the cooler and heatsink to see the Nvidia Chip, the paste was gritty and very hard. Cleaned it with rubbing alcohol and got it replaced from a local computer shop for 100 rupees and now, temperatures stay well under 60c even at 100% load!

Two big fans are an overkill on a GPU with a TDP of just 75W!

[faaizaslam75]

Its the one with 2 fans but it has 6pin so it should be fine i think and yeah i know the thermal paste thing ..just waiting....

[crossfirex]

When not heated paste looks dried u should have not removed the original paste anyhow best of luck with GPU i remember when i left gaming in 2013 i sold my gtx 670 for 37 or 38k

[faaizaslam75]

The replaced one is from manufacturer but it has to be replaced cuz it shows crazy temps on it
I had a 8400gs its 50c on idle and 75c on max after replacing before it was 60c and 85c

[crossfirex]

Thats good

[k-four-nine]

You're right but...

When I ran benchmarks with the original paste; The GPU was showing temps in excess of 70c, which was insane considering the 2 fans, massive heat sink, core TDP of just 75W and winter season.

These temps would only be acceptable if it was a GTX770 reference card (Blower style) with a TDP of 230W!

I'm also using Kingspec NT-128 since almost a year, for boot, hibernating and paging. I should have gotten the 256GB to install a few games too but I didn't knew it'd turn out so good.
