Gamer finds a latex thimble tucked away in his GeForce RTX 3090 Founders Edition
Recently we reported that a user discovered the thermal PADs covered still present of his graphics card, this time NVIDIA, founder card shows something weird. In the category weird stuff, you can find in a graphics cards inside.
A latex thimble, which is meant to shield the graphics card from fingerprint marks while it is being constructed, has been left behind by one of the factory's employees. Ordinarily, this wouldn't be an issue, if it weren't for the fact that it was discovered between two memory modules and the heat sink, resulting in temperature spikes of up to 110 °C.
The latex thimble was discovered by Reddit user "antonyjeweet" as he decided to replace the thermal PADs. Thermal PADs have been replaced on the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Founders Edition cards since they run hot. While the temperature of the memory is within specifications, heat that is not efficiently transported through the system has an effect on the temperature of the GPU, which is considerably closer to memory with the RTX 30 Ampere series than with the RTX 20 Ampere series.

I have two arms so no one was born with one
there are gaps in your knowledge then,vrm on 1070/1080s was a huge issue,people were getting repair kits to put pads on themselves.
not exactly what I call a premium experience,as even companies like palit have been very solid for the last 3-4 generations.EVGA has had the highest number of f***ups of all.
and their handling of their recent 3090 issue,requiring a scalper-price deposit for rma,was just horrendous.
Shoot I guess if one wants to hang onto the past.
Not sure about your arms, but I do know people born without "both" though....
I'm just personally going off of my experience and again not off the internet and it's voice. I've dealt with EVGA for over twenty years and have never been happier.
It's nice to see a company take care of their F#@k ups though. Maybe you want to try to work with MSI in that regard...

if by take care means pay a thousand dollar deposit to fix the card they sold you under warranty,then yes,the issue was taken care of.
i would personally avoid and recommend avoiding a company that does that.
