Asus video cards.
I've owned 3 of them.
one caught fire, one failed in a spectacular flash of light, and one just quietly died.
Every single one of them managed to take rest of the system with them.
No I did not overclock/overvolt them, and yes I had good airflow/cooling.
In Côte d'Ivoire they say : Premier gaou n'est pas gaou, c'est second gaou qui est niata. Meaning when you get conned for the first time you are not an idiot, but when you get conned a second time you are. But what about you, who got conned again ?
There's an old saying in Tennessee—I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee—that says, 'Fool me once, shame on...shame on you.' Fool me—you can't get fooled again."
George W. Bush – Nashville, Tennessee, September 17, 2002.
Other versions from BoJack Horseman:
"Fool me once, shame on you, but teach a man to fool me, and I'll be fooled for the rest of my life."
"Fool me once, shame on me. Fool me twice, fiddle-le-dee."
"Fool me once. Fool me twice. Fool me chicken soup and rice."
I had an asus rtx 3060 for ~4 years and the only problem I am had with it was the RGB sometimes not working because of software issues.
Out of curiosity, where they newer nvidia cards, like 4 or 5 series, using 12VHPWR?
nope, older ATI. HD 4000 and HD 5000 series.
edit
and just to make a point, it wasnt the PSU failing either. It was the GPUs. the PSU is still actually alive and well today, running a relatives system with no issues.
Did you perchance have the exact same power supply in all three killed systems?
as I said in my post, it wasnt the PSU. It has gone on to power many gaming systems since then without issue (its last hurrah being a R9 280x based system before its retirement), and is living out its retirement running an email/bill pay terminal for a relative still as reliable as ever.
