The problems do not end at AMD these days.

lightning70 · Jan 13, 2023

You know, some 7900XTX reference models had a cooling problem.
Now there are GPUs in the RX 6000 series that suddenly fail and are physically damaged.
There is quite a bit of news on this topic these days.
Looks like AMD isn't going to smile face these days.

This is only a guess, but you have an Intel and nVidia system, yeah?

It is not my intention to defame AMD. If there is a problem with Nvidia cards, I will share it, I have shared it before. So I'm not a brand fanboy. Yes, but I have the correct Nvidia-Intel system.

Old news have you been missing the last few days.

There's a PSA style thread warning people off driver's alleged to have caused this.

IE a thread allegedly trying to help people avoid it rather than this one.

Which just isn't.

If it reads like a shit smear campaign it reads like a trolly shit smear thread deal with it.

I'm not being critical, I was just making a guess. That was right...

One repair shop reporting a spike in issues.... won't overrate that. It's with everything these days on the internet.

In case of a problem: RMA while being within warranty period. In case of the mentioned shop (located in Germany) it is a 2 year period for new products. For everything else we are missing information what the owners did to their GPUs.

Hyderz · Jan 13, 2023

wait for a few months for companies to iron out the issues, intel nvidia amd all have had issues in the past...
thats the risk you take for early adopting
i had i5 2500k with a p8p67 motherboard with that sata issue..

There have been problems on both sides. To sum it up as AMD isn't going to get a smile face is juvenile imo.

evernessince · Jan 13, 2023

Assuming this is an issue outside the first reported instance. We have yet to see another report. Taking a single sample as fact is ill advised.

One shop and people get their pitchforks. Too damn dramatic these days.

Yup, first half was accurate, second half was bait.

In this case, quite a bit = two? As in defective HS, and your link? IIRC, "quite a bit" goes higher than two.
