ATM. I have 3x Strix 3090 constantly crunching numbers (no not mining) not a single glitch. My nephew has 2 Strix, no issue and we both had # of 3090 FTW3 that died within days. There are some Srtix have fan rattling issue, but that's all and when you remove the heat-sink and tighten few screws underneath, that fixes the issue. So no, not all 30 series cards have issues, only FTW3

NEVER EVER WILL I BUY EVGA AGAIN!!! THIS COMPANY IS A COMPLETE MESS!!!
- Not only they deliver HIGH END (and VERY EXPENSIVE) 3090 FTW3 ULTRA boards out of power consumption standard specs due to a very poor and low cost HW design moreover not properly tested...
but !
- Their European Consumer support is a COMPLETE MESS !!! They are even not able to handle the RMA properly and my parcel is stuck at the German entry customs for many days waiting for EVGA Europe paperwork acceptance !!!!

Most probably you killed Strix while installing EK block.

If you're flashing EVGA bios onto non EVGA cards so casually it makes me question everything you do.
I guess you are the kind of person that doesn't understand how simple and easy it is to flash another BIOS onto a video card and how low risk it to flash another BIOS on a card when the card has a BIOS switch and multiple BIOS versions available through a BIOS switch. Just because something I do is above your skill set doesn't mean its "casual" or careless. I never said I did it "casually or carelessly" so stop putting word sin my mouth in your failure of an attempt to try to make me look bad. I wasn't the first or last person to do this BIOS flashw ith EVGA 3090 BIOS versions on non EVGA cards. It was done by many people before me successfully. Maybe you need to read a few BIOS flashing guides to understand the procedure?
But at the same time, simply because it's easy to flash another BIOS onto a card, and others have done it successfully, doesn't mean there is NO risk involved. (and yes, i do know) start messing with that, and you can introduce a variety of factors, and/or user-errors... I'm not saying that's what happened exactly, I don't know you, nor do I care to read every comment in this thread, but at the same time you can't just toss info out like that were it encourages people to start flashing BIOS's left and right. and chill man, no need for you're overly-defensive reaction either, he didn't even say "carelessly", so now who's putting words into mouths?

I've been trying to score an EVGA 3090 card for several months now and have had any luck. No matter how close I get, I'm not faster than the auto-purchase bots. I just hope if/when I do get one, I don't run into the same issues regarding the defects.

Are you sure this isn't just a one-off issue? There are plenty of other EVGA customers who haven't had any issues at all.

start messing with that, and you can introduce a variety of factors, and/or user-errors...
That's why I never gave instructions on how to do it or encouraged anyone else to do it. Its not something for people with no experience or knowledge of the subject to do. I originally used it as a diagnostic procedure to see if it was a BIOS or hardware issue with the original 3090 FTW3 cards. Myst3ryx
I'm not saying that's what happened exactly, I don't know you, nor do I care to read every comment in this thread, but at the same time you can't just toss info out like that were it encourages people to start flashing BIOS's left and right.
Nowhere in this thread did I ever encourage anyone to flash another BIOS onto their cards. I used flashing the EVGA BIOS onto the MSI and Asus cards as a way of showing that it was likely EVGA hardware and hardware design design causing the problems with the multiple 3090 FTW3 cards that I had and not the BIOS. The MSI and Asus 3090 cardss worked flawlessly with the EVGA 3090 FTW3 BIOS versions and also the Kingpin BIOS versions. Also, many people were posting high 3DMark benchmark scores flashing an EVGA BIOS onto the Asus cards. Myst3ryx
and chill man, no need for you're overly-defensive reaction either, he didn't even say "carelessly", so now who's putting words into mouths?
In the context that he used, "Casually" it implies carelessness. He was implying that I was damaging EVGA cards with BIOS flashes when that's not the truth. When someone makes baseless and false accusations in an insulting manner I'm not going to sit there and take it. He also seems to be an EVGA fanboy that has accused or implied end users several other times in the past of causing problems when they have had to RMA their cards in his replies to other threads.

Does this also impact 3090 Ultra Hybrid cards that come with the liquid cooler pre-installed? Or do those come with the new revised boards cause of the later release?

I had an excellent experience back in late December with my EVGA EU RMA and since then the replacement (new) 3080 ftw3 ultra works as intended. There was indeed many problems but the support and RMA process do go through so thats enough for me to say I will always trust EVGA. In all honesty, having a worthy warranty is THE most important thing after purchase and these guys are nailing it.

I will say having dealt with evga for an rma, is the reason I use their graphics, MB’s, psus and coolers. They stand behind their warranty and will make it right quickly from my Personal experience.
I’d bet after a short phone call on Monday morning they will resolve it to your satisfaction, I’d be more surprised if they didn’t.
i know this is a old post but ive just had to RMA my 3090 as well contacted them within 30-45 days about issues they were no help continued testing switching components and trouble shooting everyway i could think of rma my monitor twice{did not have to pay for,thx you ASUS} replaced power supply another 350.00 after 6 EVGA cards never had a bad one.well less than 6 mths later have determined it is the card.bad enough right.not really after spending 1900.00 dollars on a card i must pay to ship it back 70.00 dollars and evga knowing full well these problems we are all having are defects yet we pay.its down right wrong so its definitely going to effect my consideration on future purchases of video cards for sure.

Excessive mining on an incorrect mb would mess stuff up just saying.
After the first 3090 did you change to the correctly powered motherboard?

Why don’t you trade your working card with OP and you can carry the RMA torch? Since no one knows what they’re doing except you, you shouldn’t have any problems.

You get lucky and get a good card, so everyone that has issues is doing something wrong? Seriously? Your sample size of ONE is statically irrelevant.

my daughters worked fine since launch day... until it didn't. (about two weeks ago while she was playing GTA V). not overclocked, not abused, no risers, new 1000W platinum PSU.... and..... i know what I am doing. its clear that there was a bad batch of cards that had shoddy welds and are all destined to fail eventually.

Most people think that transdogmifier is either an EVGA employee or a bot that posts the same message over and over about how his ONE card has been working flawlessly and everyone else that has an issue is a moron running a 400 watt no name brand PSU with multiple pigtail 8 pin PCIE power connectors.

I don't think that at all. Transdog is very knowledgeable and has been critical of EVGA when it's warranted.
His point stands.... In MOST cases, MOST of these hardware problems are of the PEBCAK flavor. This is the first time I can actually say EVGA sent out some duds.....
EVGA is also taking care of us.

It seems like you did what I'd recommend already, it's get a Kingpin. Other then the price it's a better design with better cooling capabilities. Other then double sided blocking a card the Kingpin hybrid seems to be the best factory cooling option.

Most of his replies to anyone who has an issue with their EVGA RTX 3000 series card have been that its 100% user error and everyone with an issue with their RTX 3000 series card is doing something wrong or using the wrong hardware in their PC. He insists this is the only reason for people having issues with their EVGA RTX 3000 series cards in some posts. He told people who had issues with their EVGA RTX 3000 series cards who tested the same card in multiple PCs with multiple name brand high wattage power supplies that its user error and not the card. At that point its either trolling or he is an EVGA employee. Its getting to the point where some people have told me they are reporting his posts as spam because it appears that he copies and pastes the same reply to every single thread where people have an issue with an EVGA RTX 3000 series card. LOL

There are legitimate reasons to get multiple kingpin cardss, such as competitive benchmarking and overclocking. Its not like one person with multiple cards designed and built for competitive overclocking and benchmarking are preventing anyone from getting a lower model 3090 or a 3090 ti or a 3080 or a 3070 or a 3060 ti or a 3060. EVGA would have produced those kingpin cards either way and probably sold them to someone else who would have bought two or three of them.

I wouldnt doubt rma'd 3090's are being recycled around.
It truly sucks to spend this kind of money to keep getting a "refurb."
I was lucky mine was bad day one and they sent me a new one.
