EVGA 3080/3090 Faulty fan controllers design fault - Igor's Lab

It holds the records, dethroned the HOF. The board itself is top notch, plenty of users/vids/reviews say so. Would be a great buy if it didn't have super high price tag.

What holds the records maybe Kingpin in name but it is very different to what you can buy from EVGA.

I would be very surprised if the top GPU cores ever reach retail but instead are binned for Kingpin himself to use for records.

I also remember on the EVGA forums Kingpin himself giving a guy a lot of help with a retail version of the cards including custom bios which are unavailable to anyone else. The card still did not perform any better than a good FE one.

Lesser of two evils in my opinion. So many issues with the 3090.

So after dragging my heels a little on this (really didn't want to be without a card without sourcing some kind of temp measure in the meanwhile) I have just started the RMA process and I have to say I'm not a fan of the process so far. A cookie cutter automated response telling me I should go back to my retailer for a refund or replacement (if I could have done that I would!) failing that if you want a repair then I'm told that I have to pay for the shipping both to GigaByte and back from them or go through the hassle of organising a courier service... like WTF? Is this the usual deal with them? In all my experiences with other RMAs I have only ever had to pay to ship the item to the manufacturer for repair, never have I had to pay for them to ship it back to me. I've barely started the process and I'm seriously put off from ever buying a GigaByte product ever again.

Sorry for this being more of a rant than anything, but I'm really not impressed with this and it has soured my mood somewhat.

See what I mean now? They are asking the guy to pay shipping back to them and pay for return shipping too, this is UK RMA with Gigabyte right there and the annoying way to get it resolved. This is why I don't bother with them and their goods they are one of the most annoying companies to deal with. UK RMA or not I still stand by rather not Gigabyte.
