Hey all! I'll start out by posting two pictures then explaining.
Basically my card caught fire one day after I had removed it to do some general cleaning around my case, it would appear as though I didn't securely plug it in and caused a short. It is out of warranty from EVGA. I sent pictures to them to inquire about a repair but the gist was that it was likely a lost cause.
Upon looking at the damage it appears mostly external.. and I just wonder if the board containing all the components were replaced would it work just fine? And what cost that would entail.
Of course I realize this would likely only be possible through the company itself, but even a 150-200 dollar repair would be worth it on a ~500 dollar card.
I'm working on finding a good way to remove the star screws to take a closer look though I lack the specialized tool.
