I was told my CPU wouldn ' t fit into the new motherboard though . <| sep |> Do they have mxm or discrete . Mxm cards do last quite well . Its the discrete bga gpus that fail , well the solder fails . Constant heating and cooling causes the solder that holds the gpus on the pcbs to develop impurities . Air bubbles . Cracks . So the chips lose connection . Causing startup issues . No display . Graphical distortion . Freezing . Driver crashes . Bsods and more . Iv been working in the refurb industry for over ten years and can tell you all discrete amd nvidia gpus will fail . If theyre allowed to overheat repeatedly they will fail . Even intel discrete cpu gpus the efficient ones that are bga also fail for the same reason .
