Upside down GPU logo?

[Chronified]

I've had the card going on 2 years and I JUST realized that the logo is upside down.

 

It's a Zotac GTX 1050ti OC edition.

 

Here's my build

 

and here's what the card looks like on Zotac's site (rotated of course)

 

Great work on the quality control guys, +1 indeed

 

I wonder if they'd replace it

Move to Australia.

Agree, pretty much the only positive to living in Canada is the free healthcare and the unlimited 1Gbps up/down I get at home for $65/month

when i google i can see some are upside down and when revised they must have turned it right side up

get a reverse atx case and that'll fix it

Reverse ATX cases cost almost as much as this GPU does today lol.

 

I'd be better off just living with it until I can upgrade to a 1070ti

Send the video card to Australia. When it comes back it should be fixed.

On a more serious note, it seems that the plastic shroud around the fans is symmetrical, are you sure you can't just flip the plastic shroud?

I mean, I guess I /could/, but it's not perfectly symmetrical and that's a lot of work to just remove a logo from the side of my card.

Eh, I was hoping there was another "ZOTAC" on the other side flipped the correct way.

On a fun note, here's my setup.

 

Please remember to pray for my poor 1050ti which pushes 5760x1080p while gaming.

I also got adata ssd "XPG" logo flipped

Totally easy solution.

 

Just flip the case upside down, then the buttons/usb will be closer to you anyway!.

I noticed that too with my Kingston V300 240GB when I added a Kingston A400 240GB to make a Raid1, before I decided to just tuck them under my HDDs. I think early SSDs just didn't have a standard for which way the logo faced.

Flip which way?
One way will make the window face away from me and have the USBs at the bottom.

The other way will place the umbilical cord facing me and have the USBs on the far side against the wood, since they're on the top & not on the front.

 

Either way would look terrible, AIO block and PSU and fan controller would all be upside down lol

It was mainly a jest I thought your USBs were on the front not top.

Both top fans are upside down too, they should be exhausts not intakes, hot air rises because it's lighter than cold air.

 

also assuming the tubes are long enough you could mount the radiator on the front part of the case, that way it'll have a fresh air intake, did you know the difference between a rear/top mounted rad and a front mounted one can be as much as 15C during intensive loads on the CPU? I didn't until a few years ago.

 

pro tip: if you don't want to have 2 fans as push and one as pull you could grab a dead fan and cut the motor supports and mount only the frame to end up with a sort of tunnel for the front case fan, it'll also ease the stress and gravity effects on the tubes

They're intakes for positive pressure, I'd end up having 3x exhaust and 2x intakes, I'd need to keep my front fans way too high to keep positive pressure if I flipped the top fans. 

The PCI brackets on my case are slotted to allow the heat produced by my GPU to spill (again, a lot of positive pressure helps with this) and with the normal day-to-day OC I run my VRMs don't produce enough heat to have my rad overwhelmed. 

 

I run an old FX 8350, the highest it'll go is 55c then the pump will speeds up to keep pace. I can't get it to go past 60 no matter how much I OC and stress test, even with my fan controller set as low as it'll go on all fans, and even then it'll settle back down to the 55c mark after the pump speeds up. I've never seen it go past 35c while under normal use though, only thing that I have that'll push it past that is GTA:V which it'll settle in to around 45c playing.

 

I've gotten it to 5.1Ghz until my motherboard can't take more voltage (~1.4v), VRMs overheat even with the case open (only 4+1 phase), it's an 870A board that didn't even support FX orginally let alone a 125w processor. Closed I can push to 4.8Ghz before they overheat.

 

Normally I just run 4.20Ghz, with a 4.5Ghz boost on cores 0-3 running 1.25v - 1.32v (auto adjusting voltage) it runs fine. This is the minimum OC I've tested that removes any bottleneck for my 1050ti OC on the list of games I play. 

I started having stability issues running at 4.5Ghz constant, unassumingly due to the pure age of the chip (2013) and board (2011) plus their mild compatibility so I kept dropping down until I found bottleneck in GTA, hence the snoop-dogg friendly clock speed.
