    Jamie42 reacted to smmmokin in I want to participate in the verified gamer thing to get a graphics card at MSRP...then sell it   
    But I'm not going to. I admit I seriously thought about it and I know others are too. I feel this is an important topic to bring up.   It's a fact people will participate and try to get one to resell but anyone like me who has that thought needs to stay away from it. I was so lucky and got a brand new EVGA RTX 2060 super just before the holidays for $550(Canadian) Considering costs now I'm feeling pretty good about myself. Times are tough and I need the cash so a chance to make money is just that. It would help. Reality is all you're doing is making sure people who need a card but don't have a lot of cash right now will never get one any time soon. It sucks to buy from a scalper. Those that need a card will be forced to pay crazy prices for a lesser card or they will have to wait months without a card.   People like myself(You. I know you're out there) who want to resell need to not do it. Especially in this case with Linus stepping up to actually do something that will help solve this problem. It's gotta suck to have a dead GPU right now. Lets be kind to those people.   It's really important this time that the community step up and make sure those that need help, get the help. Especially since it's Linus stepping up to help people. I doubt all the hassle of doing this and getting it together is financially worth it for him.

    well, you have 2 possibilities.
    the inductor die by itself (this can happen if borderline spec, and so) and pray everything behind/after it doesn't die... (and i don't believe it... specially what is connected at her output.)
    the second is evrything behind and after it died too...
     
    but first, you have to track on what it's connected, desoldering it, and see at least, if the converter behind it still provide normal voltage (not 0V or 12V)
    R68 mean 680 nano henry, for her value.
    then, you mostly have to guess how many amps could go trhu it, depending on what is the load.

    Reds are fine too, yes.
    You don't have a fixed budget, but I wrote that, because you can of course buy a 500$+ board, but not everyone wants to spend that much on a board.
