VGA dies after repasting by Liquid metal

[kpvz7ki2v5agwt35]

Hi everyone. Yesterday I repasted my MSI 1070 Gaming X with Liquid metal. When I plugged in and turned on PC, I heard a busting sound from the VGA and the screen went black. How can I fix it now? Thanks

There is a very good reason why you need to know what you're doing when using a conductive paste.

All I can suggest is cleaning it off the best you can and seeing if the card still works, if it doesn't, well I can't suggest much except buy a new one.

Yeah its not ideal to use liquid metal on a GPU as you dont have a IHS like you do on a CPU..

I suspect you got the liquid metal on something, and its shorting out.
