[Build Log] Snef's Red Poseidon

[gdesmo]

Damn that is so horny looking ! Can't you use a countersink drill bit and put a flat head screw in there, It is easy as hell but I do agree with you about them not designing it correctly for clearance !

[snef]

need to order screw, tools (countersink drill bit)

but yess i think i will do it

but with horizontal setup like that, it work, just barely befor lock but the card is enough to work

just a bit scared if i can blow pcie slot

[bungwirez]

can you swap out a couple of the flat screws from the GPU silver plate onto the soutbridge plate?

[snef]

not the same lenght, will order some

[bungwirez]

not the same lenght, will order some

naturally....

[Father Fuzzy]

wow epic fail on EK

thought they were better than that

[gdesmo]

If you know what size it is I can send you one ! Get a countersink at Crappy Tire or just use a larger drill bit for the countersink.

[snef]

Thanks Gdesmo
Really appreciate
I already placed the order, i didnt take any chance, i ordered 20 of each lenght, from 6 to 20mm loll

Epic Fail by EK. I hope you sent their support a message about the issue.

Build is looking totally awesome as always snef.

[bungwirez]

good idea Hooded. I'm pretty sure they know who Snef is already right?

[snef]

Be sure i sent an email to support and i dd a pst on overclock.ne in EK club

Dont receive answer from support, for now

But on forum, EK_Tiborr told me, no issue to let the card like that, sit on screw, the card is properly inserted and no issue running like that, hahahahahah, i know that, its ok for me on bench, but in a vertical layout like my (r.i.p.) extremmme red demon
The card will be not secure,

Lolll remember before agp gpu, no locking system, and with cheap case, the gpu alway get out of the slot, yes , now i know im a old fart guy,

[bungwirez]

I did have issues with mounting my 560's ... it was the EK PCIe backplate thickness... did not like my HAF..
I was pissed of course, cause the cards clicked in the other end, but not fully. had no drain port either...

[MRDcanadian]
