    It’s going to be nasty if these things flood the second-hand market in the future. Sustained high temperature operation combined with likely substandard power delivery with questionable reballing quality. What a perfect recipe.

      How about all the old 4090 shrouds being reused with other gpus? Influx of fake 4090s incoming?

        At least those would be useful for the people wanting them. No need for an AIO if a 4090 cooler was somehow compatible with the mounting/VRM layout.

        Scammers have already returned 4090’s to retailers with just the cooler inside for weight, and just kept the GPU. They have no need to even attach some other card to it.
