The thing blew up in my face, I think some of that stuff went on to my lungs :(
Guys, looks like I'll have to phone the retailer to complete my rma, so I should tell them I didn't overclock it right? Lol.
Well guys the 1080 has actually blown :( The new psu arrived today and the msi card caught fire, it sizzled like a fried egg! I tried the psu with the 6950 and it booted perfectly, motherboard was fine, psu was fine, 1080 got rekt. Sending it off for RMA now :(

The 1080 was working fine in my old build which is in the sig below. Whats the best way to check if its definitely the psu? I...
Hey guys,

Here is the specs for the build...
