So this is my situation
Been using a 2080 super card for the pass 4 years, and everything seems to be running fine, until 2 days ago
Switch on my tower as usual, but now instead of usual start up, i was met with loud fan noise (seems coming from my graphic card) and no screen. Have to switch off power as the regular long press doesnt work
Tried couple of time, occasionally i manage to get into windows, but within a min or so, the loud fan noise comes back, and screen go blank.
I've unplug everything, did a thorough clean for dust etc, put that back together, and met with the same faith - loud noise from the fan, and wont go any further (system stuck at this stage until i switch off from the power)
My first guess is, perhaps the graphic card is gone, so i would replace it.... as of today i think i can still find a 2080 ti, a 3080 ti or a 3090 to replace it https://www.userbenchmark.com/System/Asus-ROG-ZENITH-EXTREME/62720
But digging deeper i notice different cable (power) configuration between diffrent card, so i am not sure
Hence here i am, hoping anyone with better knowledge can help out, or point me towards the right direction into saving the system
