Got a used 2060 super mini single fan.. . A bit warm since its small single fan.I was cleaning the chip and redoing the thermal so I can do aio cooling. I was also struggling to put the aio on the die using kraken. G12. It was a difficult process so I reapplied thermal paste and cleaned it many times
After a while I noticed the corners on the die were sectioned off. Not sure it was the thermal paste. I also accidentally spelled a tiny bit of rubbing alcohol outside of the die frame expanding to the green board.
After performing the aio cooling I put the card in and it was green flicky Pixelated. The resolution couldn't go higher than 1080p. I kept unplugging and replugging. Even after I removed the aio and put the stock fan back. At times it would not show any display
I decided to redo the paste and used the one I usually use instead of the aio paste then put the stock fan back. At first the display didn't turn on but I used an hdmi instead and it came on with no pixel anymore. Then I put the display back and now it works OK. Now its running ok.
Should I be worried about the gpu? Is the chip die damaged? Could it be a display issue? Is it my mobo or cord? Or the excessive rubbing alcohol?
