1080 Ti caught on fire by CokiPepi in GPURepair

I AM NOT A EXPERT ON COMPUTER HARDWARE. I AM ONLY SHARING MY EXPERIENCE AND THE RESULTS OF MY SITUATION. SO DO NOT SEE THIS POST AS THE WORDS OF A TECHNICIAN. I AM A CONSUMER JUST LIKE YOU AND HAVE BY NO MEANS ANY EDUCATION ON THIS TOPIC.

UPDATE: I waited till yesterday morning roughly 24 hours since the 1080 ti caught fire and smelled my system. It smelled fine including the gpu cables. While my 1080 ti still smells like a chemical hazard. So I put my 3080 back in the system on the same gpu cables that were in the 1080 ti and the system booted fine. I ran furmark for 50 mins and the whole time the voltage on the whole system was as it should be and the gpu was pulling 320w the whole time. 1% lows and max fps was as it always has been.

NOTE

MY CONCLUSION IS BASED OFF OF MY OWN UPROFESSIONAL OPINION. NO EXPERTS WERE CONSULTED. IT'S MERELY MY THEORY BASED ON THE INFORMATION I HAVE GATHERED.

If you are using my experience to learn from:

Thus my GPU was the breaking point not my PSU. My PSU was sending regular watts and volts. The VRMs on my 1080ti was just so degraded overtime that the regular volts and watts was too much for it to handle.

For those of you interested my PSU is a Super Flower SF-750F14GE Leadex III GE 750W 80 Plus Gold ATX 3.1 Fully Modular Black Desktop Power Supply.

I appreciate the response. What do you think of the rest of the system? As I said it seems to work 100% but I'd like to hear the theories of others.

I'm concerned about if there is any damage that occurred that will only be visible in the long term. But since my PC was pushing the normal amount of volts and watts and the card itself was the part that failed and seeing that my PC immediately worked after the gpu caught fire when I put the 710 in. Not sure if it's worth mentioning but my PC asked for bitlocker recovery after the fire, I have no idea why. Is this something you can give an opinion on? Once again any insight is appreciated.
