Bought the exact same card off eBay few years back that was artifacting to fix. Ended up being a Liquid Metal fail with the previous owner making a mess of the thing getting it all over the PCB. Took quite some time to clean all that junk off then inspecting every square inch for any residue but has been a rock solid GPU ever since. Curious why you bothered with Liquid Metal since these cards run so cool to begin with. Anyway good video 👍
@@club4ghz Big fan of the 1080ti. Such a well made card…….especially the EVGA FTW3 with its switch for “normal” or “oc” mode. I use the 1080ti in some of my ultra-budget builds.
@@techluvin7691 I have EVGA 1080 Hybrid 120mm AIO that work 7 years with liquid metal. Only one time replaced. I always use tiny brush that comes with Coollaboratory Liquid Ultra, lets you apply the tiny amount that you don't even need nail polish. Also got two CPU's delidded + Liquid metal, no nail polish.

that spill near capacitors was close
@@club4ghz Yes…….I saw that when reviewing the video, but the nail polish coating protects them from shorting.

That's my dream card! But I already have RX Vega 64. I hope can afford those thing and make duet with my RX Vega 64.
