Hard to believe you will need a 1600watt psu for your build.
I have 2x 3090s running in my 5600x PC and i'm only using an 850 watt psu lol. What else could possibly be using all your power up to 1600 watts? Water cooling, fans, ssds don't use that much.
If worried about future proofing...
sounds troublesome.. i have a gigabyte 3080ti as well.. hope i don't run into something like this lol would have been nice if they told you what was 'defective' about it.
How does the step up program work? Does it have to be new cards? Can it be cards from anywhere (e.g. ebay) or must be from an official retailer, etc? And do you need original receipt? Thanks
Notice that I did not mention rx6800.. I only said 6800 XT and above. Also I did not mention or compare 3070s. Have to compare apples to apples. 6900xt vs 3090. 6900xt is just way worse at mining than 3090. What I said above holds true for high end cards. Mid-range cards like...

Anything with a plasticky cheap feeling will probably not last too long. However I have several old IBM Model M keyboards (similar to some of the posters above) and they are built like a tank. There were a bunch getting discarded at an office workplace in the 90s and I saved them. They are...
For $1100.. I would have shopped around to some electronics repair places to see what they would quote.. E.g. a repair shop like "Northridge Fix". Based on their youtube videos, I feel like they can literally re-solder and fix anything. :)
Lol.. the 480 gb ssd they gave me died after about 2 weeks. I plugged it into several PCs and none can recognize it anymore as a storage device. Wonder if i can take it back for a replacement.
