The dell silver ones have an awesome latch to open them but are unfortunately not ATX so pretty much immediately trash.

The other ones might become a proxmox cluster but it'll probably be more power hungry than it's worth.

The floppy drive is unoccupied if anyone's wandering

GPU randomly died

I was using my computer completely normal when all screens go black.

After a reboot and connecting the display to the motherboard display out device manager doesn't have the gpu, tried live booting Linux and same thing.

Already done some trouble shooting and will do more but motherboard still giving a VGA light.

This is the SECOND GPU that died on me in the past 3 years.

First was 7800XT, this is 9070XT.

CPU: 7800X3D

RAM: 64GB

Mobo: strix b650e-e gaming Wi-Fi

I really don't know what to do or what could cause this.

I'm just incredibly down...

If anyone can give any advice or ideas I might have missed?

Am I missing something really obvious??

It's just so damn frustrating.

Tech companies are purchasing large quantities of used and rare books. Scanning their contents to train models. Then turning the originals to pulp. The sum of human thought, digitized and shredded.

Is this sufficient cooling for my HBA?

Pictures 1 - 2 are the current state, this fan doesn't seem to keep it any cooler than the previous one but it's held more securely, (other one is double sided taped).

I couldn't find a way to track temps so I just touched it and guessed.

What do you think is better?

The double sided tape did work surprisingly well and held really strong I just feared the heat will make it weaker over time.
