After extensively poking and prodding RTX 50-series AIB graphics cards, veritable tech demigod Igor Wallossek of Igor's Lab has discovered that there are potentially concerning hotspots on many RTX 50-series AIB partner cards.
These hotspots seem to essentially and most directly be caused by power delivery components being placed too close together on the PCBs and connected via too few traces, although it seems that at least some of this density could in part be a result of an oversight in an Nvidia guide for board partners.
