GPUs are pretty durable.
Because I've seen GPUs having stuff fixed even if there was a dead bug inside the GPU plate part. Yes a tiny little fly was able to get between the GPU and it's contacts

Due to listening to people online and wasn't qualified to opening it up.
Yeah, i don't think there is a guy that does that stuff but there is a computer technician that will probably won't be able to rescue it. Its likely killed by the Artic MX-6 thermal paste. So yeah... I ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up and lost an expensive gpu that will likely have to be binned.
Nope, did what Jaytwocent did in this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1fEYOIsfnBs&t=962s

if they are torn they should be replaced, and thickness matters
too thin wont contact the component and heatsinks, too thick could bend/warp the board
psu switch on on ?
did you reconnect the power cable from gpu ?
did you connect monitor cable to the card ?
maybe the card dont sit right in the pci slot.
just take the card out and put it back in.
At any rate, you probably either forgot a connection or don't have it mounted properly.
Most GPUs automatically shut off or HALT the system the moment a problem occurs -- that's the purpose of an operating system: to protect hardware and manage memory.
Your card's vBIOS and the motherboard BIOS should both have offered protection against overheating unless you turned that off.
At any rate, unless you short circuited it (and even then there is some short circuit protection, most brands use multilayer and over-engineered parts on the higher end, etc. so you'd have to ZAP the life out of out it). I mean you gotta do something insane like have a screw on the PCB -- that is something you would find and notice quickly, and even that isn't enough on most "good" brands.
It should be repairable.
I opened up my 6650XT because it was getting to 123 C due to a poorly machined cooler and put PTM7950 on it, which is honestly the only thing I would bother opening a GPU/handheld/laptop to do.
When I did that I short circuited it when it was on (a screw fell into it) and it still works fine with no issue.
If you're telling me that a 1000 GPU has less tolerance and protection than a 189 dollar one, wow.
Start the build with a good case and fans for air flow. No such thing as too big a case, too big of fans or too many of them. Have air coming in the front, side and out the back and top. Even the PSU can have dual fans.
Also, changing graphic settings or capping the fps will lower heat. Re pasting wouldn’t even be a last option for me.
Now if I was board and full of energy and like to tinker, say like take the PC completely apart to clean it vs just blowing it off with air then I might re paste the CPU. Old hardware needs all the help it can get and tinker away. If you damage it, it’s a good thing, because now you can upgrade. A 4080 though! I’d be babying that and no way in peep would I take it apart. If I couldn’t maintain the heat or address it and re paste was suppose to be a fix, then there is something wrong with the card and I would send it back vs risky avoiding a warrantee.
Guess bottom line do that crap to old hardware, not flag ships. At least I wouldn’t.
