Buy a 70-year-old graphics card, it feels hotter than boiling water, burns when it detects a foreign object

Although bitcoin is not as hot as it was half a year ago, the price Graphics card is still being teamed up quite a lot, partly because of the scarcity of components for production. That’s why the chance to own an “em” RTX 3090 is quite a rare thing in the PC community, even if you are willing to spend up to 65-70 million VND for a graphics card.

However, a gamer with the nickname on the Reddit forum, Antonyjeweet, has overcome these difficulties to own a super-huge RTX 3090. Of course, spending up to 3000 USD for a PC component, you will expect a top-notch experience when you bring it back to use. But no, when the installation was successful and the PC turned on, he panicked when he saw that his super graphics card had a temperature of up to 110 degrees Celsius.

For those of you who don’t know, the graphics card is in an idle state, the temperature is only 30-40 degrees Celsius. Meanwhile, if the card is at high load or full load with a good heat dissipation system ( something that any gamer using a high-end graphics card must have), the temperature is only around 60-70 degrees Celsius. Even if the cooling system is mid-range, the temperature can only go up to 80-90 degrees Celsius. After just a few minutes of use, the Card’s temperature jumped to 110 degrees Celsius, a nightmare for anyone who spends up to 3,000 USD for a technology product.

Guessing that there must be something wrong with the graphics card’s cooling system, Antonyjeweet immediately opened the RTX 3090, even though doing so would void the warranty. It is worth mentioning that when separating the cooling system from the surface of the chip, he discovered a … fingercaps located right in the middle of the thermal paste. It is easy to see that this is the culprit that makes the thermal paste unable to contact the GPU and cooling system, causing the RTX 3090 to be pushed up to 110 degrees Celsius.

Although the act of dismantling the above gamer’s graphics card caused the RTX 3090 to lose its warranty, but knowing that this was part of my fault Nvidia decided to “extraordinary” if he still wanted to change. Also to explain why the other glove appears in the cooling system, we need to know that the production of graphics cards is facing a lot of difficulties. It is no longer a strange thing for factories to force workers to work overtime to meet demand.

Because of this, errors also appear more, such as workers dropping gloves while checking or applying thermal paste. This is not the case with Nvidia alone. AMD Not long ago, there was also a case of forgetting to peel off the adhesive layer on the surface of the thermal paste, causing the card’s temperature to increase significantly.
