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.

Come on...people are tired, paid with pennies per hour, now there is also this stupid covid situation, there is a huge demand from the market, hence huge pressure on these factories to make more products, faster. What do you expect?

Damn. I mean do you get to win anything for finding this inside your card?
Has to be something... Mostly joking...
And I could not imagine having to take my card apart from the beginning of my purchase because of interior cooling. Maybe?
I mean the only appeal of a FE card is the price tag, but with that said one can expect interior parts I see.
