Hello, Here it is. I'm using the cardboard as shown, that little metal clip would touch the pcb... And it's touching the cardboard now.

Sure, I'll post a picture when I get home

The new GPU is actually touching the metal clips, it's a big bigger than the older card... The cardboard was necessary. Should I buy a proper backplate instead of cardboard? I found this: https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-fc-rtx-2080-ti-backplate-classic-black

Hello, I just bought a new GPU and it's working perfectly now (turned off everything first this time ?). Definitely the old GPU is dead.One thing I did this time, that I read somewhere else, was inserting a cardboard of the same size of the GPU as a backplate. It worked perfectly! Is it safe to put a cardboard on it?

I think it died completely now, the GPU won't display video signal no matter how many times I try to unplug it and plug it. Time to buy a new one, I'll try to buy a new PSU first too. Thanks!

UPDATE: Today when I tried to power on the PC after using it normally last night, the problem returned. There was no video signal on boot. But after trying turning off and on, unplugging and pluggin it from wall a few times the video worked again. May the PSU be damaged too?
-
Great news!I've reinstalled everything and didn't work. Then I tried to change the DVI cable to the another output and WORKED! Seems like it just damaged one of the GPU's output.Working normally now. Well, lesson learned. ;-)

Tried it, no luck

I'll try it!

Of course, my fault ? I was just trying to check the cooler cable, and accidentally that metal clip touched the GPU. But if the cooler spins (even for 2 seconds), isn't it a good signal? If it was a short circuit, the GPU wouldn't turn on at all. I don't have a second motherboard to test it, but I'll try to reinstall it later when I come from work. Thanks!

Hello, how are you?My PC was running fine and then I've noticed one of the two fans of the Noctua NH-D15 was not spinning. I've opened the case and just tried to figure out if the connector was not plugged well, but in the process, I think one of the clips just touched the back panel of my GPU (with no backplate) and the PC instantly lost the video signal.Now everytime I turn on the PC all the coolers run fine but there's no video signal, no post screen. The GPU fans spin for some seconds and then stops, but the system keeps working.Is there any chance I've damaged the GPU? I'll try to reinstall all components when I came from work, but I'm pretty sure it is all plugged well (PSU connectors), cause it was running fine before.I tried clearing the CMOS with no luck too.Thank you very much!
