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. ):

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

Didnt find anything stuck. Was thinking of maybe some paper washers to lift the left so i can crank down on the right or something. But i was expecting that metal ring to help with that.
