Is it meant to look like you bought the card with your cats kidney?

Two years ago I made a post on Reddit's pcmasterrace (under same username) that somehow made it to /all and trended for a while.
Fast-forward to today, and I’ve found myself slowly distancing from Reddit with all the drama, weird decisions, and the feeling that any post you make can get nuked on a whim by a power-tripping mod (see: r/art).
So I wanted to anchor this moment with big chungus here on the fediverse as I start a new chapter on Lemmy. Looking forward to hanging out with everyone here and having fun again.
By the way big chungus is alive and well, the same can't be said for the 4090 though, i'm getting coil whine from it and had to live with that until 60 series...
According to OP’s comment in the original post, yes, that’s exactly what it’s supposed to look like. The gauze just has some food coloring to make that joke.
exactly, thanks. I'm following the template of one of those memes that always circulate around everytime apple release new iPhone, just this time it's the cat's kidney.
I thought you just found a cat with a video card and decided to shoot him and take it. What a relief it is to know you only sold his kidney.

Only one braincell needed to outlive it

The most precious of all cell.
Alive and well, and with a look that says, "Using me for internet clout again?"
Give that fluffnugget some compensation snacks.

I have a Gigabyte 1070 from a previous build that had coil whine.
Ended up being fixed after a long stress test ran the fans at full speed for a while.
I wish mine will break-in like yours, but so far no such luck 🙃
It was a great many hours of running a GPU stress test that used 100% of the GPU causing the fans to go full bore.
My guess is coil whine is caused by the parts not fitting together properly meaning that the motor not having enough oomph to move the fans over the extra friction.
