Identification notes

What is known

The operator identifies the retained EVGA graphics card as a GeForce GTX 660 Ti. Four supplied photographs show the assembled card, two installed fittings with attached black tubing, dual DVI plus HDMI and DisplayPort outputs, the PCIe edge, a black EK retention backplate, and the visible `FC670 GTX` block marking beside the EK logo. EK's manufacturer product page and manual identify the product family as EK-FC670 GTX and state compatibility with supported GeForce GTX 670, GTX 660 Ti, and GTX 760 boards. The photographs do not expose an EVGA product label, so the exact card submodel, memory capacity, clocks, and PCB revision remain unverified. The visible marking resolves the block family but not whether its cold plate is bare copper or nickel-plated. The tubes and fittings are photographed as installed parts of this assembly; the nearby green container and other loose hardware are context only. No photograph establishes electrical function, internal cleanliness, seal condition, prior coolant chemistry, flow, or leak integrity. Inspect and clean the cooling assembly, confirm mounting and thermal-pad condition, and pressure-test it outside a powered system before applying coolant or assigning working status.

Restoration relevance

Why it remains connected

card operator-identified / block family visually and manufacturer verified / exact card and block material variants, electrical function, cleaning, and pressure test pending. Disposition: archive / test pending. The object remains associated with LE RÉDEMPTEURE / X99 Recovery Dossier.

Uncertainty notes

What remains unresolved

recovered from storage / full-cover block, black retention backplate, two fittings, and attached tubing photographed / prior coolant service unknown. card operator-identified / block family visually and manufacturer verified / exact card and block material variants, electrical function, cleaning, and pressure test pending. Terms marked unknown, provisional, pending, or unverified remain part of the record until evidence resolves them.
