Question Is my 3070 broken ?

[Bob the tob]

Hello

I have just moved to Japan from Europe and my PC won't boot completely. All fans are turning, led are working but I can't manage to have any display.

While dismounting my PC I notice that my GPU is a bit damaged do you think it is the issue ?

How was the gpu packaged? You put it in its own box filled with bubble wrap, air bags, etc?

Check if there's nothing in the PCI-E slot, did you transported your PC with the graphics card installed?

Yes I did transported my PC with the card installed (not the brightest idea)the middle wall seems a bit hurt but what suprises me is that the fans of the GPUs are turning when the PC is on

If you have the ability, test the GPU in another capable rig, or perhaps the other PCI slot if you mobo has one. I suggest that the damage show in the other pic wiped this slot out.

Ok thank you, I'll check if i can plug in into the second pcie but I am not sure.
It's weird though that the fans are running, it would mean the port is only half busted ?

That alone doesn't mean anything. Try the gpu in another PC as already suggested, and we'll know for sure, because another fault that happens from transporting gpus like that is cracking the PCB.
If it comes on in another PC, then you've avoided a worst case scenario; that motherboard should be much cheaper to replace.

well, try using your gpu in another pcie slot

unfortunately you found out the hard way... Did you try the second PCI-E slot? Looks like you have a Gigabyte Aorus B550M Elite? The second slot is "only" 4X but okay to check if the card is damaged, the PCI-E slot, or both.
