/diy/ - Do It Yourself

Are those little dots all around the GPU some SMD resistors ?
I think I killed a GPU.
How things went bad ? the GPU Fans were doing huge rattle sound. Bought new fans, installed them.
I put thermal paste for CPU on the chip, started the comp, and I had some sort of stripes in pink.
VGA mode is working, but as soon as I request GPU informations with nvidia-smi, even on console, those stripes run on the screen.
I "naturally" - speaking of the way thermal paste can blur a surface - found thermal paste on those ultra tiny smd components. Cleaned everything carefully, but it remains the same after tries with some 1mm special conductivity pads.
