    ASUS Dual 1070 8GB trips PSU when plugged into PCIE

    So I got the parts I needed. Unfortunately it's a struggle for me. That first one that was blown up is "off". But so is most of the pad underneath... is what it is.

    ASUS Dual 1070 8GB trips PSU when plugged into PCIE

    Sorry, what do you mean by pads? So you just removed them and didn't replace? How exactly does that work. Will the card just run slower/less stable at higher clocks? When I remove them I'll upload a pic of the board underneath, for suggestions on where to go from there.

    ASUS Dual 1070 8GB trips PSU when plugged into PCIE

    Hello everyone! New here, it looks like there are lots of smart peeps in this forum so I figured this would be the best place to ask for some help, if anyone is willing to. So, I got this card from an auction sale. 50 bucks CAD got me the card, an i7 7700k with a strix board, and a bunch of...
