A video lately posted to Reddit with the caption “MSI HQ in China apparently just went up in flames There goes my 3080” reveals a fireplace at an MSI plant in Kunshan. Whereas not truly MSI’s headquarters—that may be in Taiwan, the place the {hardware} producer relies—the plant is a big web site, housing two factories and an R&D center when it was inaugurated in 2003.
As but, we do not know if anybody was damage within the hearth or what impact it may have on manufacturing. So no, there is not any approach of understanding in case your GeForce RTX 3080 simply went up in smoke.
MSI’s CEO, Charles Chiang, died just four months ago after falling from the seventh flooring of a constructing in Taiwan’s capital, Taipei.
