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)

    Definitely will want to see photos. It sounds like there could be something stuck between heatsink and PCB causing the warp
