Hey all
So i installed the Kraken G10 onto my Palit Nvidia GTX 770 2GB GPU. Thinking all was okay I booted up the system, luckily I had the case open next to me! I noticed smoke coming off the GPU and instantly shut it down. I removed the bracket and checked over my card, I couldn't tell where the smoke came from as there seemed to be no damage done. I replaced the stock cooler and booted back into windows. THANKFULLY the card still works.
Has anyone experienced this? I was using the Corsair H55 water cooler on the GPU, I didn't even make it past the loading screen to check temps before I shut it all off, so I don't know if it's the cooler's problem or some design fault.
TLTR: Smoke coming from GPU after installing Kraken G10; has anyone experienced this issue before?
