So I recent purchased an RTX 2060 from GIGABYTE back in august, the exact model is GV-N2060OC-6GD-rev-1. The card ran fine until November when I began to hear rattling sounds coming from the fan, as well as very high temperatures under normal load (>80c).
I have since RMA'd the card, and to no surprise, Gigabyte claims that that there is "no trouble found with different configurations". I have asked for a replacement, but they are sending the card back without any repair.
At this point I have two options, I can either sell the card on a third-party site, or try to install it with an aftermarket cooler. I'm not entirely sure what to do as I paid $300 for a faulty product that was denied warranty service.
Should I buy an aftermarket cooler such as ones from arctic? Or should I sell the card and put the funds towards a new one?
