The point being that you don't know which component on the board failed. If you look at the GPU chip itself, it might be just fine and it was just a capacitor that blew.
- bayindirh 3y agoThe GPUs we change arrive on a large board which hosts multiple GPUs with SXM interface. GPU itself arrives with its heat sink only, and we only change the GPU itself. Board is never replaced. Same for the RAID card. The processor has a couple of failure modes (no cache or no card), both directly related to RAID processor itself. Again same for the Ethernet cards we fry. They lose their MAC addresses, all pointing to in silica problems.
- latchkey 3y agoGood point. I've also heard that there are fairly high rate of failures with high end nvidia stuff. I wonder why that is.
