"RGB Lighting Causing Burn-In Damage to GPU Backplates, Gamers Report"
Originally Published 1 year ago — by PC Gamer
Two users on Reddit reported photodegradation appearing on the backplates of different graphics cards, speculated to be caused by RGB lighting reacting with the coatings used on the backplates. This issue seems to be related to the accompanying memory kit's RGB LEDs and may be due to faulty or low-quality LEDs emitting light they are not supposed to. While not a widespread problem, it remains to be seen if this issue will become more widely reported in the future.
