OcUK Ampere RTX3000 series review thread

Seems there is some instability on some cards and that Igor has been digging:

Super-secrecy didn't help (Igor was one of the ones before launch saying the board partners only had this nvpower hog software rather than drivers to test their cards), but in the end the bill of material guide was vague too and seems to have said that they can / could MLCC or POSCAP capacitors...

Looks like the Asus tax is justified for once as Igor points they used all MLCCs.
Zotac and Gigabyte are the penny pinchers once again.

So thanks to the W1zzard over at TPU, we can see who did and didn't:
all MLCCs:

two MLCCs:

one MLCCs:

no MLCCs:
