Watch this before replacing fans on your graphics cards

Inno3D 3090 came in with a note saying that original fans were making noise so owner replaced them with aftermarket fans found on aliexpress.
After that, card no longer worked and ended up on my bench just to verify that it may very well be the fans that killed this GPU.

If fans were not properly wired, 12v will shoot into the core via 10k resistors and thats most likely what happened in this case.
I dont know 100% but this is my best guess given the circuit design and its lack of protection from such scenario.

For repair, please contact me by following the link in the channel ABOUT page.
