Repair technician and YouTuber Louis Rossmann have shared via a recent video a compilation of ongoing cases of a particular flaw with Gigabyte graphics cards. According to user feedback, some of Gigabyte's GeForce RTX 30-series (Ampere) and GeForce RTX 40-series (Ada Lovelace) products, which are among the best graphics cards, have presented cracking on the PCB.
One of Rossmann's viewers, who is a fellow technician, contacted him about the issue with the cracking PCBs. The person had reportedly worked on a dozen of the affected graphics cards. The repairer provided a bunch of vivid photographs illustrating the cracked PCBs. The cracking appears in an area on one end of the PCIe x16 connector, specifically near the PCIe locking tab that fits into the PCIe slot clip.
