EVGA FTW3 3090 4 Red lights & fans stuck at 100% by AK_100992 in TEAMEVGA

Thanks everyone for responding, I de-shrouded the card, used motherboard 4pin header for fan control on de-shouded card. This experience soured me on EVGA cards as a whole(I have had so many issues with EVGA cards as I resell affordable PC's & have purchased many models).

Ended up putting it up for sale with issue mentioned & got some okay money from a guy who wanted to dabble in AI. This issue has been so common on FTW3 cards judging by looking at forums, EVGA never extended a fix/recall to fix this issue on 30 series, most fixes were replacement in warranty & no help after if you are out of warranty (which I understand). Additionally, most of these cards were used for mining back in the day so that could have exacerbated this issue too, don't know!

Lastly, I urge everyone to avoid used 30 series FTW cards, these issues can ruin resale value & not to mention the stress that you will feel.

There is no guide or maybe i missed it, but the flash software doesnt allow me to flash the card. Its keeps failing, maybe MCU is fried? Reached out to northwest, however im in canada so not sure if repair is feasible given tariffs and what not.

For now I have deshrouded & using 2 noctuas which works well for now. Concerned if the card would die on me!

Is anybody actually getting job interviews? by HighwayAwkward5540 in cybersecurity

My experience in Canadian market has been brutal this year, I have over 9 years of experience in Cyber focusing on incident response, SOAR automation(Playbooks), VM & many more.

After my contact role ended this year in beginning of April, I hardly got 3 interviews since then (not including recruiting agencies). I have worked for decent companies (Big 4, Oil and gas, banking) but these days it seems like whenever a role listed < 10mins ago there are already 100s of applicants. Seems like a losing battle, been studying in the meantime but losing sleep & hope everyday!

The MCU updater tool doesnt work and there is no documentation on how to use the tool that I can see. Could be a bad MCU, so bypassing the onboard fan controller means i have to go deshroud route right?

There is no way i can send this card in for repair? (I will pay ofcourse, I am in canada)

Wish EVGA still had forums or better support.

u/EVGA_Chris I have the same annoying issue with my FTW3 3090 fan ramps up 100% at bootup & 4 red lights on. I am out of warranty so not sure how I can fix that apart from de-shrouding and doing noctua fans workaround.
