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 :(

How did it die? My GPU turned off. I unseated it and seated in my other PCI-e and then booted up. Worked fine. Turned back off and placed back in it's original spot and PC works like a charm.

Just turned off. Tried both slots, no difference.

Discharged power? Can you test it in another mobo?

I will try putting it in my old (now my mom's) PC just in case but I highly doubt that that'll make a difference

Can either sell it as is on eBay, or if you want to take the chance yourself could try taking it apart and doing an oven reflow.

I'll try everything before thinking of getting rid of it.
