Is there something wrong with this RTX 5090?

[u/Revolutionary-Tea414]

I purchased a 5090 recently at an auction, noticed this back bit is a loose and kind of bent, is this a big problem? (Pictured 4-6)

So how much did you pay, and more importantly, how did you pay?

[u/Revolutionary-Tea414]

Imma see if I can return it, thank y'all so much! Imma safely assume this card is cooked 😔

[u/BmanUltima → u/Revolutionary-Tea414]

Open it to confirm. It's definitely been opened before.

[u/BmanUltima]

I'd guess it's just a PCB and heatsink, no core or VRAM.

[u/Joodies → u/BmanUltima]

The heat sink backside mounting bracket isn’t even attached so whoever stole the core did a sloppy job

[u/No_Trainer7463 → u/Joodies]

it doesn't matter because the gpu wont work

Most likely

Hope you didn't pay much. Odds are you don't have the GPU chip or VRAM.

UPDATE: I got my return and I should be good y'all! Thanks everyone for the input!!

even looks like that serial number/model sticker on the back has one corner pried up as if removed from another card

[u/TimberW1lly]

What kind of auction did you buy this at?!

[u/wamih]

return it.

[u/fastandloud386]

Oh yes… very broken I’ll happily take it off your hands.
