Here is what it looks like when there is a power incident in a modern card:
Die blew through the chip cover (what are they made of these days anyway?):
Click for 1176x777
Click for 5616x3744
Going right into the heatsink:
Click for 5616x3744
Click for 5616x3744
Click for 5616x3744
MSI certainly contributed to the mess with uneven application of thermal paste. I still mainly blame ASRock, but this also looks not OK.
