Hello, I noticed something between the fins of my new Zotac RTX5080 Solid. When I turned it on and lit a light, the components glowed. Should I dismiss this? We checked the card and found full ROP, 65°C at 360W under Furmark with auto fans.

Likely some residual metal remains from the manufacturing process. You might attempt to gently remove it using a toothpick or similar tool to check if it moves. If it does, it's best to extract it before airflow dislodges it, directing it elsewhere where it could cause a short circuit (especially if it's a metal piece). However, if you can't move it and it's tightly stuck—possibly part of a heat fin or bent out of shape—leaving it in place may be acceptable.

Attempted to push it but it doesn't move and I think it's already fixed. I'll leave it as it is.
