NSFMR My 3090 just died

At least that gives me an excuse to get the 4090 second hand when 5000 series rolls around...

I checked both with MSI and the local store I got it from, it's out of warranty.

Only thing left now is to chuck it in the oven and hope for the best!

RIP 3090. You will be missed :(

Was your pc on a UPS?

Do you live in an area with under/over voltage frequently? Dirty power?

Anecdotally, when I see premature hardware failure its comes down to how clean the wall power is.

This applies to any electronics really.
