Question Help with graphics card temp ?

[AlexisM360]

Hello, I am very new to PCs and know almost next to nothing when it comes to the hardware, anyways I took my pc to my sisters house(which i now know you are supposed to take out some components cuz they get damaged) and everything was working the same, played some baldurs gate/cyberpunk and the temps felt fine. Now when i took it back to my house the air from the graphics card felt really hot and the glass became really hot and it smelt like burnt plastic, so I wanted to know if anything looks off or if a part fell out? I read that if the heatsink comes loose it could impact temps and im wondering how i could tighten it back up or how to check? Anything would be helpful since i live in a rural place where nobody knows anything about computers and there are no repair shops. Thank you

I don't know if it's the angle of the picture (1) but it looks like you have massive GPU sag. That's all I see and again is it the angle picture was taken ?

remove the graphic card check the fingers for damage ( the pcb part that slots into the mother board ) and reseat it back in the mother board then check temps again

if the gpu heat sink as come away its a GPU rebuild at best
some of them pictures look like somethings not right with the way the gpu is sitting !!

As others have said, that is quite the sag there. You should have taken that out.
It's fortunate you didn't break the card from the trip, but you or someone else probably need to repaste the card to fix the current behavior.

I think it's just the angle pic 2 and 3 look fine.

Your temp says 70C what is the problem?
What temp do you get under load?

Is there a way to fix that if it is sagging? Also, let me get home and i can send a video to see if it is, thank you!

You should have things around the house you can use - legos, string, a figurine... even cut a piece of wood to size and paint it.
Scratch that noggin.

How long has it been saging like that? Repeated heat cycles can actually cause the ball joints (solder) under the die to break and cripple the card entirely and Irreparably for the average enthusiasts.
