Just got mine from EVGA from Step up, I have the newer 2114 Serials (black trim), are these newer versions still suffering from the Red light of death? (capacitor or something pops, and fans ramp to 100% and card dies)

Look at the PCIe retainment tab. Do you see rev 0.1 or 1.0?  My understanding (since I have had one of each) is that rev 1.0 has the revised board design with the improved voltage controller.  If so, you should be in the clear.  If not, test your card for PCIe power draw and triple 8-pin power balance.  If it's not kosher contact 3090oc@evga.com for the special RMA program. You can find much more info in the 3090 XOC thread stickied at the top of this forum.

I would look at the revision number first. If it's 1.0 you in the clear. 0.1 is problematic.

when did this REV 1.0 start to ship?? anyone know?  Any chance that a card from decemeber may be rev 1.0?

I believe they started to ship in late March. December will be 0.1

wow i must be pretty lucky i have a 2114 rev 0.1 been  running it from 02/15/2021 to this day no problems at all.
and i hope it stays that way but oh well i got 5 year protection.

Lucky you, I got 2012 rev 0.1 and 2114 rev 0.1 both died in the last 4 weeks. One died 16th of May (got it 27th of April), the other 28th of May (got it 25th of May). So there is no way to know if a 2114 will be a rev 0.1 or a rev. 1.0.

This is interesting. I have one of the older 3090s and I've been on the fence about doing the special RMA myself. I kind of don't want to because I've put a hybrid cooler on it and don't want to have to swap it back to stock cooler in order to return it and then just have to put it back on the new 3090 FTW3 Ultra. 
 
My main issue is that my pcie power draw tends to spike up to 81 and usually is just sitting around 77 or 78ish. My rail balance seems to be pretty good though, generally two connectors are around 120 to 125 with the third being a little under them at like 115 or so. I've never seen my power draw go over around 460w regardless of the bios used, but as of now I'm running the Hybrid bios on the card in the OC slot and it runs better at stock settings than it ever has with any other bios on it.
 
What do you guys think? Should I do the RMA to get one of the revised cards? I am concerned with that pci draw, but from what I've read it most likely would never be an issue to begin with. My card sits around 1825 to 1900mhz a majority of the time with temps around 62c on core. Backside memory is always above 80c while gaming though, after awhile at 90ish :(
 
Not trying to hijack a thread or anything, just genuinely curious what the community thinks.
 
For the record, my card serial number is 2014. Unsure of the pcb version number though.
