Graphics card is broken

When I was trying to change my thermal paste and was unscrewing the screws and the screw broke it still works but Temps are high.

temps should be high, there's lower mounting pressure now and it's uneven.

The only way to even it out is to use 2 screws, might help temps but might not.

Well you either rotated the screw driver on a right side roatation while trying to unscrew them and when you saw that they didnt unscrew you kept on applying force or when you tried to screw them back you kept on forcing rotating to the right... screws need to be tight but you dont have to rotate with all your power once they stop to screw 

 

 

leftside rotation to unscrew

rightside rotation to screw 

 

the above hold true on any scenario where a bolt/srew/nut/cap is involved and you need to tight or loosen it..

 

 

What you need to do is to use those 1 of the 2 screws left and screw it to the oposite hole of the other screw (in both directions) so that the screws are screwed diagonally like this 

 

 

Youll be fine that way but caution dont apply too much power again if it doesnt move with mild force then its tight enough. 

 

 

Also an other tip: even when you have four screws when you screw them back do always screw the first two of them diagonally like above to even out the pressure (wich in turn will spread the thermal paste evenly but also makes sure there are is no side e.g up and down that is more pressured than the other)
