So while gaming i did something stupid which i dont know y i even did it. I was taking a screw and holding it on top of the cards chips or watever that its called. Suddenly it became red color. The color when you hold a metal rod to the fire for a long time. It became that red and I immediately offed all the applications and kept the pc idle for sometime then i noticed that particular chip is different from the others. Has it got burnt. But the performance of the card still same i guess. Same temps and all. And i think i got a burnt smell but that might be me Overthinking. Here are the pics, you might want to zoom it

I had experience with a small capacitor falling off a gpu. It got corroded for some reason and cleaning it up made a capacitor fall off. It still worked but not for long. It died after about 7 months.

Im with the mentaility of "IF IM NOT SURE IF ITS ENOUGH COOLING, GO OVERKILL"
