Hello,
I think I might have nudge the heat sink on my ASUS GeForce GTX 970 4GB DirectCU II BLACK
when installing it, it did move quite a bit.
It looks like this
The card usually idles at 35C but now it is at 40-45C idle. That's 10C more.
It's the same story under load, he heat builds up much quicker and reaches 80C and I think thermal throttles at 1350MHz, before it it maxed out at 70C at 1500Mhz
There's no dust or likewise, the fans are moving.
Do I need to apply new paste, can I RMA or do I have to deal with it?
Has anyone else had this problem with this heat sink?
