Id love to own a HOF one day, but when even the damn 1030 is too expensive its a bit hard

I've only ever run Asus GPUs, the lights are normal. They will stay on as long as the system has power, even when it is shutdown; the only way to turn them off is to unplug from power or flip the PSU switch. (For reference, I have these Asus GPUs: 960 Turbo, 970 Turbo, 1070 Strix, 2080 Strix)
 
Also, as an FYI, those lights will turn red if the card does not have PCIe power cables plugged in while the system is plugged in and has power. Handy feature for people who tend to forget to plug in some cables.

Yes. Tells you there's a voltage on the detecting pin, even with PSUs that cut off the 12V rail when the system shuts down
 
Nope, none. That's why it's so upsetting, they just go from good to kaput in a second without visual damage
 
RPG: Assassin's Creed Origins, Odyssey (both heavy to the entire system), Final Fantasy 15 (heavy on GPU, some requirement on memory speed and CPU)
 
Shooter: Rainbow Six Siege, CSGO (just watch the max frame rate, though already playable with a 760)

It fit perfectly more than enough clearance,  I also improved the airflow in the front of the case with motherboard standoffs for spacers. 

gotta help out the newcomers!

A little helpful hint.
 
Post structure is important, it gives structure to a post, a beginning middle and end.
 
For example......
 
1st paragraph would detail the problem at hand
 
2nd paragraph would detail your views on a possible solution
 
3rd paragraph would detail any closing remarks
 
Also a paragraph on any questions you have, that are spaced equally apart. Called white space, it pleases the eye.
 
Otherwise its too hard to read and people wont even bother reading your post.
It shows you dont care much so others wont care neither.
