Hello
 
When I see these pictures it's scary, especially if I understood correctly, the card was in idle
I hope this is an isolated case

Hay also the possibility that he threw shuntmod to the area that is

It Would be nice to know what Case this Card was in?
I think there is more involved here.
 

I am sure that EVGA will Investigate with a Fine Tooth Comb.

One of the other pictures. I wonder what caused this. It kind of looks like it came from the pcb instead of a capacitor failing or another component failing.

There was probably a loose solder ball (or other metal) and that shorted out L64 and also L65 blew.
 
Pic's of a good PCB here: https://xdevs.com/guide/evga_2080tixc/

Glad my Plates have been Removed to install the HC Water Block.

I don’t think the plates caused that. We will probably never get an exact answer unfortunately

My Evga 2080 ti SC Ultra will be here tomorrow. I am kinda worried after seeing this. I may return it for a different brand. Plus I will need to pay extra for next day rma just in case something like that happens.
