Ok, now the only thing left you can do is take the card out, clean the pci-ex connectors with rubbing alcohol and a rubber. The other option is takeing the card apart and replacing all the thermal tapes and paste.

If these 2 options dont work, you will probably have to RMA.

70% Alcohol has higher water content so be carefull of that, did you ever try to remount the HSF?

So u don't think mem fried then?

Will get some rubbing alcohol tomorr and clean stuff just in case.

Don't want to do anything physically to the card which may invalidate rma

Thanks for the help, will update if situation changes
