Bad mount for 3070 due to pcb warp
(lemmy.world)
Got a 3070 off ebay. It runs really hot touching 102 at times for hotspot. I took it out to realize there there is a slight warp to the pcb which is enough to lift the cooler off the die.
Any suggestions to remount this flat? I repasted and found the temps still bad.
Also really? No metal shim around the die to help. ):

(Uhhh Liftoff isnt letting me past the image crop lol. Ill come back and add photos when i get to my main pc)
This is an instance where exercising eBay's great buyer protections is warranted. The card is outside of what I'd consider fully functional since it overheats due to a defect. If it was advertised this way that's one thing, but if not return it and get a fully functional card from an honest seller.
