ASUS 3080 STRIX dead

[djase]

Hello,

I own my 3080 Strix OC since November 20, 2020 purchased on the ASUS EShop ROG-STRIX-RTX3080-O10G-GAMING | ASUS France, but yesterday my computer crashed during a game session when suddenly the screen displayed "no signal", the GPU fans went to maximum with the computer audio always in the background, but the PC did not react, I had to manually turn it off with the power button. However, it didn't turn on again after that (absolutely nothing happens if I press the power button). At first I thought it was a faulty power supply (Corsair RM1000x, also only a week old) but I just received a new one today (Corsair RM1000i) and it still had the same problem. After a few adjustments, I realized that the PC could very well turn on if the 3080 is disconnected from the motherboard OR if I plug it into the motherboard but only connect the left-most PCIE 6+2 socket and the middle one to the power supply (if I connect all 3 or only the right one, it won't boot). The pins seem correct for my untrained eyes (see the attached picture), so it seems to me that the card is completely broken after only three weeks of use without OC, without disassembling, with temperatures never exceeding 65-66 degrees with a use never exceeding 95% in a Lian Li O11D case which is a huge disappointment. I tested my 3080 in my sister's PC and the concern remains the same. What should I do because being in the field of 3D and teleworking and not having the means to take a 3090 I am currently without a PC because I am writing to you from my cell phone. I am at your disposal for further information. Sincerely, Mickaël.

I really need your help 4 days that my card is dead and no progress only answers without any sense of the different protagonists! PLease help i tried everything : shop_fr@asus.com, supportacf2@asus.com, onlineservice@asus.com and advance.rma.eu@asus.com

If today I do not have a concrete answer and a sending of my gpu for an rma, I launch the procedure of paypal refund. 6 days that I cannot work in good conditions and I lose money and time! 6 days to launch a rma procedure I have never seen that ! On reddit and various forums people laugh at me for my fight for a rma. Thank God I had the presence of mind to pay by paypal.

Sorry to set a cover with evga but the reddit forums are full of customers who have a spare card and a rma in 48h 72h. I think I made a bargain by buying my 3080 for 870€ on the asus website, I should have abstained.

I know blake is doing what she can to help me but you have to understand me and understand the ridiculousness of the situation.

I'm in the U.S. and not aware of how everything works in other regions, but consider filling out the survey if you have not already since the people checking the surveys will normally be different from the people you have been trying to get help from at ASUS, so hopefully it can get somebody's attention, but also suggest trying to continue to pursue other ways to resolve the issue as well.

Today it's been a week since my 3080 died and no progress has been made and I'm being asked to wait again! I think I was patient enough ..... you lost a loyal customer but I know you don't care... one more or one less that doesn't change the face of the world and even less your deplorable customer service.
