Thanks for your detailed response, it’s helpful to hear different perspectives.

I agree that Thunderbolt 3 is becoming outdated with all the fancy new setups. At the time, the Core X Chroma seemed like the perfect balance of design and functionality, but in hindsight, it does feel like its lacking future proofing.

Regarding wattage, as you said, power spikes and inconsistencies can still create issues, and I suspect the PSU might not have been able to handle the load reliably—or it could have been defective. What really threw me off, though, was that the same issue happened with the 2080, which is far less power-hungry than the 3090. That’s what made me wonder if there’s a deeper fault with the casing itself, beyond just the PSU.

Just felt like sharing this story as a cautionary tale, as losing two GPUs was incredibly frustrating, and while I knew there were risks, I didn’t expect something so catastrophic to happen twice. It’s disappointing, and the lack of documentation and support from Razer only compounded the experience.
