I purchased this XFX RX 580 from eBay a while back and although it wasn't giving me any issues I realized that the temps were high. Was getting anywhere between 83 to 89 degrees and decided to take it apart and do some maintenance and that's when things went downhill. In removing the fan header one of the pins came out which I soldered back. Luckily I had a soldering iron on hand. I then cleaned out the fans, thermal paste, heatsink, replaced the thermal pads with these pads I got from Amazon.(100 x 100 x 1.5mm 6w/m.k by AI AIKENUO) and some Artic MX-4 thermal paste. After putting it back together I can no longer play any games. When I launch a game when it get's to the menu or loading screen when the temps rise just a bit then the screen locks up and the fans go full speed. I've attached various images for better reference including the bios I flashed it too which is now giving me this issue. Both the primary and secondary have the same bios. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
