"When you're spending that much money on the card, you'll have to maintain it" How about the manufacturers actually put the money we spend to good use? This card uses a rifle bearing, as opposed to the slightly more expensive double ball bearing. The ball bearing doesn't need to be maintained. The thermal pads could be higher quality, and semi decent ones really last for a very very long time, and the core paste could instead be a PTM phase change polymer. This would be a unit which will run for 8 years with no maintenance, for barely a couple dollars more cost. OK dust is not something they are responsible for, and you need to keep it away, but like in a decent ATX case, that's hardly that much of an issue.
This, this is the exact reason i returned by zotac card, it was my first expensive gpu, immediate disappointment the moment i unboxed it from the sheer cheapness, and it rattled the moment i put it to use.
My man's! Awesome work, I'm having loud noise trouble in my 3080 on full speed and I just want to oil it up for a simple fix and you made so much easier! And I don't have to be afraid as much that I would break it. Much appreciated dude 🙏
liked and subbed, absolutely bothering me for months and they said RMAing it would take 12-14 days and I was like "fuck it" worked like a charm, REDUCED my fan noise levels at MAX SPEEDS. liked, subbed, hugged, kissed, smooched.
Thanks for the tutorial. It would have been awesome if you turned your camera 90 degrees left or right so we could see better. I'm so glad you included the red onion in the frame.
Haha sorry! At the time I didnt have any tripod or filming equipment so I had to hold it with one hand and work with the other. Either way, red onions are the best 🗣️🗣️🔥🔥
Thanks for the tutorial man, I now have to order some new fans because it popped right off, off the fan and didn’t come off the way you proposed after doing the right thing
Also have a zotac card, rtx 3060, rattles out of the box and it's very annoying that it starts making noise around 800 rpm... Just don't bother buying anything zotac in the future I guess
My 3090ti just started making lots of rattling/clicking noises too. Not even a year old...won't be buying Zotac again but unfortunately it was the only brand new 3090ti left I could get my hands on. Was it THAT hard for them to put reliable and quiet fans on such an expensive card!? Even if it didn't rattle, the fans are whiney as all hell also once they get up to 50+ fan speed...
didnt fix the issue for me seems to be a shroud rattle on my part, have fitted a new psu just incase but could just be my card dying from heavy usage over 3 years will update if i find a fix!
