    Thanks you have been great! For some reason I have this deep gut feeling this card will work and its an easy fix. Something is telling me to check the power going to that pcie card. Maybe it's Elvis lol.

    [SOLVED] Applied new thermal paste on gpu and now Artifacts.

    When I put on the heatsink I line it up by shining light through the holes. I then do 1, then opposite across and so on. I really didn't think that I was overly aggressive. Think there could be life yet!

    Oh yeah I have a founders 3070. This card I picked up for $100 to resell. I'm a medically retired veteran and I buy and sell shiat just to stay busy.

    I'm applying a thicker paste right now. I had another card here so I took the heatsink off to check it. It had so much Compound on it just like your pics. Im using some of it to check how the 1050ti's you will react .

    To be honest everything looks fine. I thoroughly looked over the card with my geeky magnifying glasses. Lol. Seriously though, no smell, discoloration, puffy capacitors, loose ones, etc. Etc
