Are Micron chips causing most of the 2080ti problems?

I originally set the OC on my ti Strix 011G to +1000 for memory, with core boost +100 and fans set to hit 100% at 70 deg, and was running benchmarks OK. But when I did stress testing, I got fails, and had to back off to +800. This was accompanied by a marked decrease in heat buildup from low-to-mid 70's down to 65 deg. Since I have MIcrons, I'm thinking these may be overheating if the clock is set much above +800, even with the thicker heatsink and three fans. So my question: if some are setting +1000 or more, could this be leading to early chip failure?

Overclocking memory for gaming or normal daily use is a really bad idea. Even if you do do it, it is best to run multiple benchmarks to find the sweet spot which is often back from maximum, apparently stable, frequency. And yes it will shorten life...

For a 24/7 GPU OC it's best to see what you can get on the core "for free" i.e. stock voltage or with a slight bump in voltage and upping the power slider. Short benchmark runs OC the memory but stay away from excessive heat and of course artifacting/instability

Are you referring to the OC Scanner when stress testing? The algorithms are designed to detect instability, not all samples will be able to obtain a stable 1000MHz offset on the memory. The hardware failures observed by users likely aren't directly synonymous with memory overclocking, but it is a memory failure none the less.

I've been running with an 800MHz offset from launch on water without issue.

Sorry, I didn't say, but 3DMark Time Spy Extreme, etc., stress tests.

Arne, I'll follow your suggestions.

Same applies here, too. If you're experiencing hanging then the memory offset likely isn't stable.
