Ever wonder what a "dead short" actually looks like on a dying GPU?
When a tiny component fails and creates a direct path to ground, it pulls a massive amount of excess current. To the naked eye, it’s just an innocent-looking microchip. But under our bench's thermal camera, it lights up like a blazing beacon.
