Got a 3070 off ebay. It runs really hot touching 102 at times for hotspot. I took it out to realize there there is a slight warp to the pcb which is enough to lift the cooler off the die.
Any suggestions to remount this flat? I repasted and found the temps still bad.
Also really? No metal shim around the die to help. ):

(Uhhh Liftoff isnt letting me past the image crop lol. Ill come back and add photos when i get to my main pc)
Regardless of the bend die contact is most important here. I’d try some thin plastic washers to give you better clamping force on the die, and maybe use a thermal pad instead of paste
