Hi all,
my Sapphire RX 480 8GB GPU which was working stable in my rig, blew up yesterday, causing a small flame and a terrible smell coming out of the front.
What caused the damage I cannot exactly tell. It came actually out of nowhere and suddenly popped.
I took some pictures to let you see if anyone knows which part of the card blew up.
Maybe somebody has some advice if the card still could be used for replacement parts or something else.
Let me know.

at the 7:17 mark he says its very hard to blow up the VRM haha
if it wasnt something u did this is def covered under warranty as its a flaw
I turned the power on and suddenly it pooped. I did not do anything special before that.
Do you think I could send it to the manufacturer?
those vrms can handle 600A at insane silicon melting temps
i highly doubt its anything u did
unless ur hex editing the bios
if u used a program to mod then that program did the editing for u
but if u are playing with voltages thru hex editing urself then its on u maybe
