OT: Possible Memory Inductor Issues for some older Nvidia Reference PCB Video Cards?

Ghosty12

Seems that some Nvidia GTX 780, GTX 780 Ti, GTX 980 Ti, Titan X (Maxwell) cards could suffer from having what seems to be rather cheap memory inductors on them..  The linked video really goes in depth as to the issue.. And that quite a few hardware manufacturers used those Nvidia reference PCB's..

And lastly not sure if the cards were overclocked but it could be, but if not then there is a possible issue for some of those older cards..  So if you had one of these videocards die on you this could be a possible reason why..

Reading some of the comments from this video, which is the one that had the link to the top video, some of the peoples comments mentioned their video cards went boom due to cryptomining..

... Went boom due to long and sustained use; Cryptominging will do that (and did for some), but so can Rendering, gaming less so but still possible.

Sheesh! Still on my gtx 770, just missed that bullet. Its slow compared to what the new cards can do, im sure. Its a work horse though. Thought about getting a second one.
