GPU temp increases when “fixing” sag

[johnsoner13]

My old gtx 1080 strix has a bit of sag at the end. When i hold it up at the end with my finger and negate the sag, the temps immediately jump like 10C. Why?

uneven pressure on the die when you push on the cooler shroud?

The solution? Just let it sag?

Sag is natural, designers account for it when they make GPUs. If you remove the cooler and reattach it, the cooler is adequately tightened, then you could add something inside the case that suspends the GPU horizontally. But there's not much reason to.

how bad is it? photos?

 

sometimes it's quite bad if the PCB is bending a lot

Thanks. And hardly any at all, I just obsess over small things sometimes.  It was just something odd I noticed while playing around with it

Then it's fine, you may prop it up with some things, but don't push it up too hard, just to support it to cure your ocd
