This is a photo installed on a computer. The RGB light of the memory just shines on the discolored area, but it looks a little far away:
According to netizens’ replies, some LED light-emitting diodes may emit ultraviolet rays, which may cause the paint to burn if exposed to the display backplane for a long time.This Head-Iron-9228 netizen wrote
Purple, blue and white LED lights look great, but they actually emit a certain amount of UV rays. Although this does not cause people to suffer from skin cancer, it has a certain negative impact on various inferior paints or materials, as well as our eyes.
Regardless, this is similar to the fading caused by sun exposure.
Although some people say that the UV rays from the RGB lights cause this phenomenon, it is not ruled out that the heat generated by the LEDs may cause them to burn out and fade.
another one tychii93 Netizens also shared the same situation a few days ago, and coincidentally, both cards are from MSI graphics cards. Some people speculated that it was a problem with the backplate coating of this graphics card:
However, there are still some netizens reporting uncertain brands and models. For example, in the discussion thread I checked, someone said that this happened to his Gigabyte RTX 2070 Super and the ROG Strix GTX 1080 ti launched 7 years ago, so the memory RGB lights are very Maybe this is the main reason:
A netizen shared a photo of his GTX 1080 Ti being burned five years ago:
In addition, I don’t know if these players’ computers are left on for a long time or if they are shut down regularly. Although the discoloration of the back panel makes the appearance not so good, it does not seem to have any impact on use, so you don’t have to worry too much even if it does come into contact with it.
For readers whose memory also has RGB lights and whose computer has been left on for a long time without shutting down, you might as well check to see if there is this phenomenon, but if you are not looking at the display card, then it should be fine. As for which memory brand it is, it seems that many people use the G.Skill Trident Z series.
As for whether this part of the graphics card has a warranty, normally there is no. After all, it is caused by external factors, and the graphics card can still be used normally. Judging from the feedback from netizens, no one has ever sent it for repair.
Basically, memory brands will not provide warranty for other products, just like before EVGA power supplyThe incident, even if it really caused the 22TB hardware to be burned down, was not willing to compensate.
