Confession .. I probably killed my GPU

[AbeC916]

So, one night about a month ago I was fed up with the blue screens, video/audio out of sync on youtube, and overall shitty performance. Of course the logical thing to do is wipe your OS .. cuz i got back ups bro.. Come to realize same shit was happening. So its a hardware issue right..next step dissemble the whole thing. My idea(drunk) was take out  every component clean it and put it back..sober. . removed the GPU's and disassembled them because "the got shitty compound and pads bro". Put Liquid Metal in the GPU and Fujipoly on the necessary parts. And while trying to put one the o rings back on the water blocks, it keep slipping, so i put a spot of Gorilla glue to keep it in place. Assembled everything back together. Temps were fine. While under load would shit its self. It would artifact and seize..Disassembled everything again (drunk)..found the glue had expanded and caused the waterblock to barely touch the core. Cleaned all that shit, re-applied liquid metal. So far i can boot, play some easy games, watch videos, load the gpu (kinda)..And im scared to play games i used to play ..I fucked up I know..

Moral of the story; always have beer while working on your computer.
