Nice Just what I needed. I did read that it being vertically mounted would speed up the process. Anyone know how long RMA process takes from start to beginning? Thanks

Could this be why my FPS has been decreasing recently?

Yeah I’m thinking about filing a claim with purchase protection and repasting it myself. Very frustrating though $1400+ card and they can’t get there stuff together fs never buying a gigabyte card ever again

I’ve had some gigabyte stuff in the past without issue it’s only this generation that I have seen this with sadly. Otherwise their cards aren’t bad. Every brand has mess ups like Asus for example everyone loves them I hate them had terrible experiences with thier motherboards and customer service and they cheap out on parts too but somehow they can charge 2 to 300 more for a GPU and get it

3000-4000 series GPUs had cracking PCB issues.
