These failures of consumer GPUs may be not applicable to datacenter GPUs, as the datacenter ones are used differently, in a controlled environment, have completely different PCBs, different cooling, different power delivery, and are designed for reliability under constant max load.




Yeah you're right. Definitely not applicable at all. Especially since nvidia often supplies them tied into the dgx units with cooling etc. Ie a controlled environment.

Consuker gpu you have no idea if they've shoved it into a hotbox of a case or not


So, if anything,maybe were underestimating the lifetime of these datacenter GPUs?
