Seb.F Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Left my two titans benchmarking for a while. Came back and everything was off and there was an odd smell. I was expecting it to be one of the titans as they'd been running a stress test for a while, actually expected it to be the gigabyte titan not the asus one! However, it seems like the top item marked R33 has gone a nasty brown colour and is leaking some brownish fluid. The top one marked 1R0 is also a slightly orangey colour but that could be normal as it doesn't look damaged. http://www.vortez.net/articles_file/20752_nvidia_gtx_titan_vrm.jpg Pic just for reference, didn't have time to sort it earlier but will take a look, figured this was the best place to post up the issue anyway.

der8auer Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 If it's dead -> RMA Should be easier than fixing yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seb.F Posted December 24, 2013 Author Share Posted December 24, 2013 Yeah will give it a go, I'm not familiar with how are they are when you take coolers off though was all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crew Vivi Posted December 24, 2013 Crew Share Posted December 24, 2013 you can do anything to the card . As long as it "looks" fine when you return it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seb.F Posted December 24, 2013 Author Share Posted December 24, 2013 Yeah I suppose so, there aren't any warranty void stickers on it so I assumed it was ok to! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ObscureParadox_3XS Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Hey Seb fancy catching you here Was the card highly clocked by any chance or overvolted because I do believe the cards have a history of their power systems failing. Anyway just RMA the card and get a new one, no point playing about with it yourself. Shame it happened now of all times but there yago. Merry Christmas anyway mate, hope you have a good one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
