Hello, I see something between my heatsink fins of my brand new Zotac RTX5080 Solid, when I put light on it the stuff shines. should I ignore it? We tested card and it has full ROP, 65C while consuming 360W on Furmark with auto fans.

Probably some leftover metal from manufacturing process.

You may try to poke it out with toothpick or similar, to see if it moves. If it does, best to remove it, before airflow dislodges it and puts it into somewhere else, where it may cause short circuit (if it is metal piece).

But if you can't move it and it's wedged tightly in (could even be part of the heat fin, bent out of shape), then it won't wonder around and you can leave it be.

Tried to poke it but it does not move and i guess its fixed there. Would leave as it is.
