[Updated] Gigabyte voided my warranty, did nothing during my RMA. I *almost* got screwed from a Best Buy Open Box

She's a good overclocker. Not the best, but definitely above average. MSI Afterburner +460 for the best score in Cyberpunk2077, but +470 had a slightly worse score, and +480 crashed. Gets up to 3300MHz peak Core Clock.

Not the best job in the world, it's been decades since I've repaired electronics equipment, and now that I'm older, my eyes aren't what they used to be. Everything's a lot smaller now, and I don't have the best equipment. I ended up putting hi-temp masking tape between the new fuse and the graphics card cover just in case. There's only a slight bend now near the Displayport/HDMI connector end, but the PCIe slot is straight.

That fuse is way too close to that other smd thing. Good job!

The picture is just at a weird angle, it's still maybe a cm or two away from the fuse. Still, it wasn't an easy repair with just a 20x magnifying glass and a 60V soldering iron with a somewhat fine tip. I tried with 350W hot air, but the solder on it wouldn't melt. I pretty much had to clip it off, then solder as little as I could on the ends with the soldering iron. It's still a bit too raised.

Good to know that is working!
