No, this was 100% Nvidia material engineering fail and affected whole industry. Dell, HP, all heavyweights had huge costly recalls. Apple cooling strategy of having internals as close to 100C "to keep the fan noise down" might of contributed to earlier failures, but pretty much _every single_ Nvidia G84/G86 series GPU died in same way.

Apple had more failures than just that series, such as the GT 650M's in the 2012 models: https://www.anandtech.com/show/8994/apple-initiates-video-re...
