Hey guys, i recently bought a used asus strix gtx 970 . Everything works fine but when i tried to clean the gpu, i found out that the body frame of the gpu was moving sideways a bit.
The heatsink is not moving though. Just the outer frame with the fan pieces are moving a bit left and right. I can't see anything loose or anything. Every screw is tight. What might be the problem and how can i fix it ?
 
Solution
if you can remove the shroud and then reinstall it may fix the issue.
also possible you may need to add some washers to fix it in place.
it can also be a broken clip or something else, you'd have to dismantle to check.

but unless it is causing loud rattling or the fans aren't functioning as they should it shouldn't be an issue.
