Why is my 3060ti’s RGB leaking light?

[ManderleyBoy]

As you can see in this pic there is a small line above the MSI rgb. It doesn’t really bother me THAT much but I know it shouldn’t be like that. Brand new card BTW
 

what could cause this?

Is this within manufacturing standards?

I dont see any image but highend gpus are generally very cheaply made vs 15 years ago. Its normal to find 25cent plastic shrouds on 1500$ gpus these days.

I disagree,

The Bigger GPUs + more VRM phases of modern GPUs are making graphics cards significantly more expensive to produce.

Though now days you overpay for what you get...

 

Also plastic shrouds were a thing even 15 years ago:

ATi RADEON 2900 XT (2007)

Not really worth it. Maybe if the gpu cooler was intended on being high quality it might be something worth doing but it's a midrange computer part not a bugatti.

You know you can set me to ignore as well  , no need to waste time responding. Because anytime I bother expanding that block message it's always just condescending dribble about stuff I know more than you about.

For example , I don't need a google images picture of a 2900xt , I can just look at the 2900xt I already own and know it's made better. Let me know when you find a piece of painted cast not stamped steel as a frame for a gpu these days because thats what a 3870 x2 has as well. Should be able to find a picture of one on google images if you've misplaced yours.

I already did RMA for a new one of the same model. But you’re right. It’s funny though how 500$+ has become midrange in 2022.

TBF, MSI started to do plastic backplates on some models... i mean thats really the worst... i dont think that was a thing in the past? 

 

The shrouds have always been plastic,  I think.

i would have too... it looks like a defect (even tho the picture was so poor hard to tell lol) also lowers resale value...

 

yeah, GPUs became really expensive  - mostly due to mining imho...

I paid 150 bucks for my X1950GT back in the day... and even that was a ripoff as it later turned out, should have been 100 (for what was actually a midrange card)

The guys at the service said it’s just a simple misalignment but I didn’t care and still wanted to change it. I just put in my new one and it looks as it should. Haven’t tested the performance yet but I’m sure it’ll be the same

That is not part of their logo. Have it replaced.
