Hello!
Just got a used 8800gtx from fleabay, its one of those EVGA gateway edition ones, with the funky looking reference cooler.
anyway while inspecting the card i noticed the heat sink plate has separated from the VRAM so it's not touching all the chips, It has spring loaded bolts thought.
I can clearly see a space between the chips and the heat sink, is this normal and expands with heat?
Or do i need to remove the whole thing and re-seat it and add compound or tape?
cause the latter would suck...
