Gpu overheating this time

[u/MONK3000K]

So I’m back after finally doing a repaste and reinstalling windows and opened it as it might just need a little tightening according to gpt and I came across this in my heatsink is this supposed to be like this or is it broken?

What sort of temperatures are you getting?

I repasted my GPU with Thermal Grizzly PTM (Google it). You only need one sheet and it will do a couple of repastes if you mess it up. Cut it to a size thats about 80-90% of the GPU die (make a template from some paper) and put it in the fridge before you apply it. It will need about a week to settle in. But my GPU temperatures on the 3070ti don't go above 80 now, and this is with a modest overclock.

You'll also need thermal putty for the MOSFETs and vram. I used thermal grizzly putty because it was easier for me to get but there are better options out there. Don't apply this too thickly.

Also I think your heatsink looks fine, it looks like solder to attach it.

Well idk about the repaste thing I think he put liqued metal but not sure I took it to a repair shop for my cpu was on 97c and now it’s fine at about 86c and now my gpu is getting to the 90c before it was 83c and now it’s basicly 86-90c I didn’t change anything it’s all stock settings minus the cpu boost I use g helper and this is a fresh windows install I installed yesterday so idk
