So I just got a 2080 ti blower card and was running super hot so I decided to custom water cool it like I have on all of my previous cards. I was modifying the watercooling bracket and while moving it, it slightly scratched the very edge of the card, where no traces or capacitors were sitting but of course still got worried as this is a 350 dollar card. I kept going with the cooler modding anyways and decided to test the pc with the gpu outside of the case, thought I plugged everything into the card that I needed to but when I went to turn the pc on there was no signal. Then realized that I’m slightly slow and didn’t plug in the pcie extension. I then decided to work with the card back in the case and in the motherboard directly, and got no signal. I then went on to replug everything and reset the pc multiple times, to no avail.
When I plugged my DisplayPort directly into the motherboard WITH the gpu it worked fine, so I decided that maybe it was because my integrated graphics switched on because earlier on I had powered on the gpu without plugging it into the pcie port. I switched off the integrated graphics, turned the pc off, plugged DisplayPort back into the gpu and again, to no avail. I proceeded to have a grown man hissy fit as I thought I’ve destroyed a 350 dollar card literally just from the slight scratch that happened. After cooling off I went back at troubleshooting and plugged in my old gtx 1060, and it works. I have little hope that I can get this thing working and it took me a long time to put all this money to the side to get the card, so any help would be so greatly appreciated.
Do note that the card works but when I don’t run the pump for the cooler (to test if its powering on or not) it doesn’t get as hot to the touch as before when it was working and didn’t have the pump on (this was an accident) (also saying this because maybe I really did strike something that was important for supplying power to the core). the stock fan also still works when plugged in to the card.
