Gigabyte RTX 3090 Turbo - just died on me

[Benass]

I personally HATE how manufacturers hide chip id or like apple forbid chip sales to other ppl. It's all done so if the device fails, u have to buy new one instead of fixing it.

Right to repair is the only way forward, because alternative is huge supply of soap to lube your but hole.

Is there a way to know Who or where the card was bought through a serial number or any other way to make this card serviceable again? Transfer that warranty, or register the card as I am de facto the first user and it was not registered before?
I am thinking of trying to make this work even the shady ways... let me put it this way... balls to the wall like I am desperate
EVGA and other brands have WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY more consumer friendly warranty policies, if i had the courtesy of a choice

If you pick up from address? If so, go and enforce your statutory right by insisting on you refund.

Again you are not reading the thread and replying rubbish. He has had it fixed. Stop spamming threads you are not even reading, just to up your post count.

 

[Purgatory]

Yes it was.

Happy you got it sorted mate and thanks for the useful information for people that may end up with the same problem. Good luck with your thesis.

Also I don't understand all the silly replies here, people doing AI need 3090 like cards and more than one of them, doesn't mean hes mining.

My system is a dual 3090 system but it's for work too, never mined in my life and never will.. People that buy such setups don't care about mining, its work related and study related.

These forums have turned into a real mess with stupidity, the OP even gave details what he was doing with his gpus and even left useful information for people that may suffer the same thing and how to get it fixed.

so its a mosfet on a v core. most likely. U lucky its a gigabyte card, it has fuses. EVGA would be game over. No fuses on EVGA cards.

i can give u a video of 3090 repair. i bet your card had same issue. if thats the case then i would have charged 50£ but thats no the point. good that u got it fixed. i wish more ppl thot about fixing instead of replacement.

What are you smoking? eVGA FTW3 cards absolutely DO have fuses! 10 amp PCIE, 20A 8 pins.

Im not smoking anything. EVGA cards do. Smoke and fire.

Im happy to see they changed their ways. I had two 1080 with burns thro layers on vcore MOSFETs and one had burned current sensing IC. Ugly picture. Totaly avoidable is fused on 8 pin conectors.

What brand do you recommend?

im not recomending any thing. I just say what i have seen or held in my hands. I can give Saphire a 10 out of 10 on fuses, never seen a saphire gpu without fuses.

You searched the ways of the force to detect the fuses or you actually stripped the cards down?

Im talking by the experience.

I have repaired a handful of cards and talking by experience.

With full respect to Your experience You should know that each case although share some similarities can be way different.
We have a continuation video of that card in US - TLDR it is DEAD... semi confirming or standing by 80-90% Gigabyte screw ups.

I was lucky, my card is fixed and working perfectly now.

GIGABYTE RTX 30x0 series cards have a flaw,

I do not know how to close this thread.

 

[Harlequin]

Press report and ask a MOD - however, likely they might just keep it open.

 

[Benass]

Blown Mosfet doesn't mean its a flaw in design. It might be a faulty bach of chips. The mosfet itself is unable to perform to a lever thats required. Cheap part.

This thread started off with very little hope and ended quite happily, albeit at a cost.
Glad you got sorted OP.
I have also learned to be wary of Gigabyte and EVGA in the process.

Yeah I see on the bbc news website today an article about right to repair, will the manufacturers still put up barriers though?

Of course they will.

Already some are saying it will lead to higher prices.

 

[MCFC_ANDY]

you cant blame a manufacturer for warranty if it isnt 1st owner, buying 2nd hand comes with risks, even buying new gpu off the bay carries risk.

I had a Gigabyte 460 a few years ago,which was a quality card, but the last couple of years GB seem to have dropped the ball with design and QC.

And paper stickers on a multi hundred pound GPU is a no no for me.

I now disregard Gigabyte when it comes to GPU's.
