They’re hailed as the most beautiful, powerful GPUs on the market—the Sapphire Nitro+ series is the dream card for countless builders. But a terrifying trend is emerging from the most hardcore PC building communities on Avonetics, and it could mean your prized GPU is a disaster waiting to happen. We've compiled the most alarming posts that reveal a dark side to these popular cards.
