May have fried a 980

[relwof]

Hi all, 

 

Was running battlefield 1 last night when my PC suddenly dropped to 24 FPS then  turned off (not windows shut down, more loss of power type). It tried to turn itself back on but I unplugged the power as I smelt burning (like a party popper). 

 

Looking at it today it seems as though my liquid cooling as leaked onto my first GTX 980, the smell seems to be coming from here also.

 

Does anyone have any tips on what I can do?

 

Specs:

i7-4930K @4.5GHz

32GB Kingston RAM

2x EVGA GTX 980 Hydrocopper

Corsair RM1000 PSU

 

Any help is very much appreciated

Well damage would be evident. Get a new one and fix the leak. Or try to get it rma'ed and see if they will cover the gpu. Seen people have been doing that lately.

Are you using an AIO? If so whoever makes it might pay for the gpu.

No, the Hydrocopper 980's were special edition water blocks on the EVGA classified editions (probably more to it) but they're just standalone cards so

 

EVGA say RMA and warranty won't cover it and couldn't help source another one so.

 

I know there's 1 on Amazon.com but it's $100 shipping to the UK

 

Thanks for the help anyways, much appreciated

Thanks for the reply,

 

Any damage can't be seen due to the waterblock and back plate so I can't see the card without removing them

 

I found one card on Amazon.com so I guess I'll have to try get that, after contacting EVGA they won't RMA or alike due to the product not being at fault - which is fair enough,

 

Many thanks on the reply, much appreciated
