Do you have the original heat sync & shroud? Or extra tubing? (I know you would have to drain the loop, but it’s worth the shot?

I tried it and I had enough tubing give and no black screens but it didn't even perform close to 2080 super while stock (not underclocked) like it's performing like a single gtx 980

Corsair icue keeps putting a red triangle over my ram saying it can't be software controlled. How would it be a pcie bottleneck? I have a ryzen 9 3950x with the x570 chipset and I only have 1 pcie x4 m.2

From what I understand, that is a 8x slot now, but Im not 100% sure. THough, it shouldnt be that bad. Can you checl bios for any memory wierdness?

Yes, it's a pcie 8x slot but I ran duel 980s on this board with 8x and was fine. Not sure what in bios to check since the ram is just running at xmp

Inspect the PCIe slot for physical damage.

Are the golden fingers on the card's PCIe connector clean?

The only pcie slot damage i notice is the missing lock that I accidently took off by removing the card kinda at an angle a few months ago and i will clean the fingers when I get home

Update. I found that the card is boosting properly when running 3d mark but its utilization is 3% and max of 4% over gt 1 and 2 in timespy

and after cleaning the fingers and blowing out the pcie slot. everything is back to normal some how
