I repasted my GT 1030 a moment ago and I think I applied too much of thermal paste in there. After pressing the chip down with the heatsink (without putting in screws), i saw that the thermal paste is touching the other components aside the chip. Can this cause a short of any kind? The PC starts up and I get display.
Also, why does this GPU have springs on the screws? It makes a lot harder to screw as I have to apply pressure on the screws and the GPUs motherboard gets pressed too and I think it can probably break into two pieces.
The thermal paste is Deepcool Z3.
(I used pea method.)
