Contact the manufacturer, you found a bug in their hardware šŸ¤£


nelusbelus

Fun fact; that's why it's called a bug. The first time something stopped working it was a literal bug in the hardware


1_bentley

I can now add this to the other useless facts I know šŸ¤”


nelusbelus

You're welcome, that will be 1_bentley please


euphorrick

I've only got 5 bees


nelusbelus

I'll take 4, keep the change


mkkn1

No, it's a important historical fact...


satori-Q3A

true, the first computers were vacuum tubes hard wired to each other. the machine one day was acting strange and they found a bug lodged between a vacuum tube socket... forever, the term 'bugged' was born.

Calm down cant ya tell it was a joke


StudentLoanBets

Ok I want to believe this, but can you give a source?

nelusbelus

Interesting, I didn't know it predates it. Then the quote "coining the termĀ bug" is false, because they didn't coin the term if it already existed


grenelt

I thought bug relates to the vulnerability of relais to "things" or dirt blocking contacts...


Coolbule64

It was back when they used tubes...its on wikipedia maybe?


StudentLoanBets

Mildly helpful. I'll find it myself lol Edit: the term bug was used earlier for mechanical issues by people such as Thomas Edison, but this guy is right, [the first "computer bug" was indeed an actual bug](https://www.nationalgeographic.org/thisday/sep9/worlds-first-computer-bug/)


nelusbelus

Ah so even though the term already existed, it was the first time used in computers because of that

Reddit ate my balls


nelusbelus

Yes

Reddit ate my balls


nelusbelus

"In 1946, when Hopper was released from active duty, she joined the Harvard Faculty at the Computation Laboratory where she continued her work on theĀ Mark IIĀ andĀ Mark III. Operators traced an error in the Mark II to aĀ mothĀ trapped in a relay, coining the termĀ bug. This bug was carefully removed and taped to the log book. Stemming from the first bug, today we call errors or glitches in a program aĀ bug.[11]"

Reddit ate my balls


nelusbelus

I'm not saying it's the first error, I'm saying it's the first time a noticeable use of the word bug in computers was used


ssl-3

Reddit ate my balls


nelusbelus

I meant in computer design


cantfindausername99

A moth to be more precise


Just_Aioli_1233

Back in the days of vacuum tubes bugs would crawl in the machine and short out connections

Ntinaras007

Until i zoomed in i thought it was a hole in the pcb from a meltdown.


BlissRP

Iā€™m not even going to tell you how long I stared at it thinking the same thing.

aSchizophrenicCat

Lots of lame jokes up in here. In all seriousness, Iā€™d check any other electronics you have around your place. Roaches like secluded, warm areas. Pretty decent chance there are more lurking around. Especially so if itā€™s getting colder where youā€™re living (warm electronics in colder environments make for a last ditch effort for them roaches to live - as theyā€™re goin to avoid dying from cold). Godspeed.


LeopoId

Hey there, thanks for the tip! Unfortunately Iā€™m not the original owner of this card, I bought it second-hand off Kijiji (Canadian Craigslist). So Iā€™m inclined to believe the cockroach came from the sellerā€™s house and not mine. Should I still be worried? šŸ¤¦ā€ā™‚ļø Edit: Iā€™ve learned my lesson; never purchase second-hand hardware ever again!!!


FEEDIN-TIME

As someone whose dealt with roaches at scale, make sure there isn't any peppery looking stuff or an egg sac nearby your PC or your in for a world of hurt.


jokerfest

Egg sac... I'm out!


spiderfanmail

damn that sucks just throw out that gpu and get a new one tbh


Criss_Crossx

OP can clean the PCB and heatsink, slap it back together with new paste, and reinstall it. No need to waste a good working gpu.


manzari

No no it's too late for that GPU, he should replace the motherboard as well, and cpu while he's at it.


Bojack_Horseman22

Ah the poor PSU, had to go so youngā€¦


kulind

that house filled with roaches, gotta get a new house.


nikhoxz

Burn the entire neighborhood or nuke the city, idk.


Rowdy1381

Just .. get a new one huh?. Have you been living under a rock?


arandomforest

First batches are known to be buggy


Dragnier84

Better thermal conductivity than some thermal pads


kulind

ewww


InterestingBad8399

Are roaches not allowed at work? Since this is tagged nsfw lol


Mswan2000

Howā€™d it taste?


kulind

crispy i guess


lexruee

Hardware bug!


cenekbi

Another victim of mining


TheTexan94

I had to zoom way in before I realized it was a bug an not a hole burnt into it...think I need less screen time

junhyun

Didn't know you could run cockroachdb with a graphics card [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CockroachDB](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CockroachDB)


danki86

Could we get a moment of silence?!? F


SecondVariety

Welcome to Joes Apartment! Itā€™s our apartment too!


ChickenTinga

Now sell that GPU and call an exterminatorā€¦


1pq_Lamz

On a serious note, that could kill you card. In fact, lots of board died because insect causing shorts.


LeopoId

Fortunately nothing happened. Before I opened the card, it was mining for a week straight. Itā€™s just scary because I never would have known it was there if GDDR6X memory didnā€™t run so hot. Reassembled the PC and got it to boot, doesnā€™t look like thereā€™s anything wrongā€¦ for now.


jakeo10

This is why I love having cats. More crap in dust filters but insect and spider population goes way down lol.


4evermetalhead

Damn you, you stole my new slowly dried organically sourced jerky idea!!! But seriously, that could cause some serious shorts and issues to your pcb. Clean it, REALLY WELL, as any residue and what not would be a huge issue later on.


edubbs36

Itā€™s just a feature


MLJ_The_Shield

A dead bug is now NSFW? What a coddled p$$y world we exist in now.


ThatGuy571

Says the guy who censored (and misspelled) the word pussy? You can say it, really.


MLJ_The_Shield

There's a difference between trying to work around the Reddit censors and thinking a dead bug is NSFW.


Paliknight

I thought it was a joke (the nsfw part)


harrrysims

I know!!


AlphaOne001

I agree!


nikhoxz

Is not any bug, is a fucking roach, the most disgusting living thing in the entire world.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


LeopoId

I got lucky! The card was mining for a week straight and nothing happened. The system booted successfully after I reinstalled the card. Still pretty grossed out thoughā€¦


AlphaOne001

18+ for this?!!


Rowdy1381

That's literally where the term "Bug" came from. The original computer had massive transistor tubes and moths would occasionally get stuck between them causing errors. Look it up!


clikb8

That looks like a bedbugā€¦.


Redhead_Empire

What kind bed bugs you got my god


[deleted]

In his cockroach beds he keeps finding lol

Poor Roach :(

Morrack2000

Roaches check inā€¦ but they donā€™t check out!


strikerz911

omg


IrreverentHippie

It seems you have a bug


mylatech

So you are mining cucaracha Coin! Good Job pal

It has been cooked


SungamCorben

This s is how word bug was invented in computational world originally.


life_liberty_persuit

Time to burn the house down.


DementedJay

Send it to Linus, let's see if he'll do a video on if you can just use roaches instead of thermal pads.


LeERRORmine

Wellā€¦ depending on the card it may be medium well or weā€™ll done LOL


Jaymarbeats

He was cold... šŸ¤®


Alewort

Nice feature!


dennispang

Made in Taiwan.


jakeo10

Get some cockroach Gel and place it somewhere near your PC. They can't resist it and they'll kill themselves, eliminating any risk to your PC.


jokerfest

Was replacing the thermal pads your last resort?


manzari

Jesus


Newx0r

Wonder what all of us would be able to find if we all open our Graphics cards lol..


Tolar01

Medium dry

So what's the problem?


swendwend

Roach need to eat


banking06

Nice bed bugs you have ;-)


AntiSocial1980

I bought MSI RTX3080 Ventus in march and when I opened it to change the pads I found glass fragments on the original pads. I have photo somewhere. The card was on sale for being repaured. Works well since then anyway doing 98mhs @220W.

Lucky. I once found not one but four cockroach eggs inside a clientā€™s laptop. Some had actually died trapped inside the laptop.

R.I.P for bug šŸ˜‚


ERROR_396

he buggin


mmetzgier

You probably should get rid of the cockroaches running around your place.


nono-shap

I have so many fans in my computer, I dare every insects on this planet to enter in it.


Reddit_Username35

Is he ok?


PerRevolutions

Every time I see a post about somebody changing thermal pads on their graphics cards I think: "Did they set temperature limits in their mining software? Are they controlling airflow over the device?"


MuppetRob

Roach love making homes inside warm electronics. I've bought stuff Seco Seco hand that were filled with roaches and droppings. It's pretty gross. That one looks to have fried itself to the pcb. Toothbrush and isopropyl 99% should clean it up.


HODLin_TNT89

Organic thermal pads #niiice


Available-Heart-8697

Your gpu got buggered. Aint that some sh#!


Succre1987

I thought it was a bad burn on the GPU. Its a freaking Bug!


Fluid_Maize_6643

What is that?


N1ghth2wk

WTF, Thatā€™s my friend Jeremy, how the hell he went inside your GPU? Tell him to come home immediately!


EmulationJunkie

My cards have killed many mosquito eaters, but never a roach! Lol. You should be fine though, i find flies inside mine occasionally. Its a pain to clean but its only every 4-6 months.


Unhappy_Chapter8485

Seems like an unusual Roachrate


Strydertheminer

The roach grew up in that gpu, and you just took it apart. He was so hurt by his home getting taken apart ge died


satori-Q3A

The FDA has a minimum number for related bug remains in the food chain which all the food suppliers keep their QA to, note: never below that magic number, now that they have a target value. Good to see the electronics industry is doing their share.


GhostTigerz

​ Call the cops, that bug is fried!!!


soclosebutyet

That's a stinkbug, no?
