The user had, I wrote it already, replaced the spring screws. And although it was apparently the original size, the contact pressure was not quite optimal even in my trials. The problem is not the springs as such, but the length of the thread. If this is fully screwed in (stopper), it will not go any further and therefore tighter, even if the spring is not yet fully compressed. In the end, this only fulfils the function of a smart washer when it has been pressed together completely, nothing more.
You also have to keep in mind that the threaded inserts on the radiator are relatively soft and you have to be careful not to overtighten them and destroy them. However, this also means that you really only have one shot at the following solution. I replaced the four screws around the GPU socket that are primarily responsible for the contact between the GPU and the copper heatsink with matching screws without a spring or stopper and with a large head.
Now you can tighten the screws much more firmly, but you should not exceed a torque of 0.6 to maximum 0.8 Nm. If you don’t have a suitable torque screwdriver, you’ll have to feel it out with your fingers and definitely not overtighten anything. If the screw is too hard, the sleeve dies, if it is too soft, you may turn the head off. In both cases, the card is unusable for the time being! So please first only really hand-tighten and then test in the benchmark whether the cooling is already sufficient. It’s always better to tighten up a little more later if necessary!
