My GPU has been Fried

[Hidamari]

Well it's as equally smart as putting it in the refrigerator. I'm surprised it even worked afterwards, albeit not for long. Maybe you should've seeked proper technical support before squeezing its last breath.

apart from the unorthodox method of cooling it down which maybe I can agree immediatley warrants a "wtf" response, I see nothing wrong with putting it in the fridge for 4-5 minutes. my fridge is relatively dry, and it wasnt in for long and was nicely cooled, there was also a gap before I put it back into the computer but for the sake of a shorter post and the hope of not being trolled pointlessly anyway I decided to leave that part out.

maybe I could understand your trolling if i said "and so I took it out and put it in some ice cold water for 30 minutes, making sure it was fully submerged before taking it out and putting it back into my machine, sadly it didnt work still"

once it had overheated once that was it, the damage was done, and it was a downward spiral after that.

I have a new one now, and its working good so far, its also much better than my last one, so im happy.
