My windforce Gtx 980ti just suddenly died last month and I still don't know what caused it. I rma'd my card and I should probably get it back in a week or two. The card died all of a sudden while playing on max temps which was 70-75c, it couldn't receive any power at all after that. With my card returning should I avoid using the same psu? The psu I was using with the card is a seasonic 520w 80+ bronze which worked for a year with the card before the card died. Should I also avoid using the 2x8pin psu sleeved cable extension I used when the card died? I'm still using the same psu right now on integrated graphics and I'm not sure if it's faulty. I'm planning to buy a new psu and sleeved cables when I get my card back just to avoid a repeat of the event.


My Specs: i7 4790k , Gtx 980ti(dead) , 8gb ram, z97 mobo, seasonic 520 80+ bronze psu
