Hey, so I've had my 3080 Gigabyte Aorus Master for a couple of weeks now and I've noticed it thermal throttles whilst playing games and mining, to the point I get a crash to desktop and I've had 1 forced reboot.
For a premium product I'm surprised they didn't stick more or higher quality thermal pads to the memory chips.
My questions are,
A) Can I request a RMA via the place I purchased it to get the thermal pads added/replaced? (So I can keep the warranty)
Or
B) can I just do it myself and still keep the warranty? 4 years of warranty is a lot to throw away by having to fix it yourself because it's not working as it should?
I'd really appreciate help on this situation.
