I had problem with fans that worked with 3,5k rpm while drivers was showing 45% fan speed. I wanted to fix it by changing bios, uninstalling drivers, CMOS and nothing helped so I opened the card, applied new thermal paste and boosted it um without fans. It worked great, but then I attached only one fan while secound was separated. In this exact moment there was sparkle near fan socket and card died. Is it completly dead or I can do something to fix it?

Graphics cards are not made for repairing. Bin it. Buy a replacement. eg GTX750Ti

why arent made for repairs? Most important thing is that main heart of GPU is alive(socket).

They are made to be manufactured and tested using surface mount technology to keep the costs down. If you try to remove a component by hand you will put too much heat into it and destroy it.
