Im having a hard time believing this story.
I am thinking idiots built the system wrong with improper cooling or used a POS power supply, or its a OEM of HP or something.
I do know the rear ram on the 3090 gets insanely hot.
Too hot sometimes ive seen it spike 80C before i loaded the rear backplate with heatsinks and have a dedicated fan to it now.
But i think a long time ago Starcraft 2 had the same issue...
It seems some users are blaming StarCraft II for the fact that their pants no longer fit as well as they used to. No, wait, that’s not it. They’re blaming StarCraft II for killing their video cards. Mm.

Idiots who do not know how to properly build a PC should not be playing with 2400 dollar videocards.
At the very least, change the pads like miners do. If anything again, people do not know how to keep the cards cool because they just do not know how fix a overheating problem.
Also GPU's Throttle, so there is no way you wont notice things shuttering before it gets terminal, if its heat related.
So if they are dying, its the VRAM on the rear i highly suspect.
Get a waterblock for your 2400 dollar card....
Problem solved...
id really like to see you brick this card with temps like this unless you used a very poor powersupply, or your card was just faulty.
