# BYE BYE BIRDIE <| sep |> What was the mistake they made before ? <| sep |> Awaiting shipment too . Gamers Nexus made an exhaustive video with all the bells and whistles on the issue . Looks like there might be a capacitor issue rather than an overheating issue with the VRM as failures occurred in both load , idle and booting up cases besides what their testing showed . f i n a l e v g a v r m t h e r m a l t o rturetestandanalysisWatch the video first , if that ' s not enough read the article . PS My thought even initially was people are using the cards for a while now , but no overwhelming failures were reported so why did it happen so late ? This would explain the capacitor theory as they probably don ' t fail right away but after a while .
