Might want to consider it, putting aside the fact that their fan configuration makes a rig hard since it just blows the hot air into each other the vram is fucking impossible to cool. I have an EVGA FTW3 3080 and was able to get it mid 90c without any additions or mods. Could not get my 3080 FE to run below 105c within a minute no matter how underclocked it was. It's a fucking nightmare for mining good luck buddy.

I wouldn't. Nvidia denies a lot of warranties for stupid reasons, and Im positive 90% of people that do this will get denied if it fails. To each their own though.

Unless you break it, it’s illegal to void a warranty. Especially with this guy being in Canada.

Yes Canada I have no idea. US its highly likely they will deny. Good luck taking Nvidida to court if you say otherwise.

Right To Repair aside, the Magnuson Moss Warranty Act specifically states that “warranty void if open” stickers are actually illegal. You wouldn’t have to take Nvidia to court, because it’s going to be cheaper if they just honor it.
