2080ti cards failing ?

GeForce RTX 2080ti’s are dying and there are different RTX 2070 chips

"The most common occurrence seems to be related to artifacts appearing on screen and ultimately crashing to black and never recovering"

This insane assembly with all the screws, brackets, glue etc. added $100 to the price of the card.

To get the board bare to fit a waterblock is very easy, if you have the right heads for a screwdriver (and I do). The number of screws just isn't an issue. I actually find it quite fun to do.
This is the fourth generation of GPU I've had and I've never tried or wanted to dissemble the fan assembly.

If its a issue with the cooling, does anyone know of a card that had a waterblock fitted failing?

People with watercooled cards had them failing. Even in this very discussion there are reports about it. Let alone on official Nvidia forums.

The issue is more complicated than the Asus Vega 64 Strix, where the VRMs don't have thick enough pad to touch the block, which is resolved with pad replacement or watercooling.
Here is down to issues with the hardware.

Please can someone enlighten me to the nitty gritty of the technical details. But if this video is accurate of the problem then why are the artifacts so consistant in shape, they look like a cheap C64 UDG :p

Probably an indication it is the interface/controller that is unstable not the RAM locations unreliable.

I don't think the problem is what people think it is though but if I'm right. which I'm probably not, then all Turing cards would probably be fatally flawed.

That's pretty much what it looked like on mine. The picture would freeze completely (and go black or inverted colours), you'd get those characters (or blocks, or characters that turn into blocks after a second or two). The game would continue in the background for a few seconds (sound effects etc) and then your entire machine would restart or become unresponsive. Eventually my machine would only load up Windows and go to a blank screen (presumably once the driver loads), and lock up.

As for why the space invaders have a regular shape... I'm not sure. I suspect it's just a way the BIOS marks a defective area of memory.

Can be - could also be that the locations are so corrupt as to be all one value on/off hence the plain coloured rectangles, etc.
 
If the gddr 6 is actually to blame what can nvidia really do about it? Do other manufacturers of this ram have higher thermal limits? Cooler redesign or ram speed downgrade?
