Almost looks like a design flaw where there was a short to the metal backplate. That pad is is compressed down to nothing where those components were.

As the friend above said, it's a bit late, but here's mine:
 

 

 
Both quite similar in specs. The first one has the specs mentioned on my signature.
The second one:
 
CPU:  Intel i7 9700
GPU:  EVGA GTX 1080Ti SC2
RAM:  HyperX Color Game 16gb Ddr4 2666Mhz
MoBO: Gigabyte mATX B360M Aorus Gaming 3
PSU:   EVGA 650 B5, 650W, 80 Plus Bronze, Full Modular
SSD: Adata NVME Falcon AFALCON-512G-C 512GB
SSD:  Kingston A400 128GB
 
Watercooler: Pichau Gaming Aqua X200 RGB 240mm, PG-AQX200-RGB
Case: Cougar MX330-G

Anybody have any tips for squeezing the most out of this card in 2020?

Gorgeous, Hoping to get an upgrade soon, debating if I should quick upgrade or splurge lol

Sooo, my FTW3 turned a bit brown last Friday. Combined with 950 mV downvolt (at around 1900 MHz) it's cool and silent now.
 
Plugged in to test, case (SKTC S02) not yet assembled:
 

 
It's alive!
 

 
ELI5: I disassembled stock fans and epoxied Noctua A9x14s to the original mounting plates. Desleeved and shortened fan cables, crimped new terminals and used GPU mini-fan adaptors to connect to board - my crimper is too big for mini-gpu terminals.
 
Temps don't go above 65-70 in Cyberpunk, fans are quieter than my SF600. Should have done this sooner, Noctua is life.
