RTX 2080 bent?

[Mike344]

Hey so I have a RTX 2080 Asus ROG. Works fine but one issue... 

The Gray square that houses the 8 pin power connector, )on card) is bent. Not significant, but bent.

 

if you look close, you can see it. (Where the red and black wires would plug into it) But not the wires/cables from the power supply. Just a piece on the card in which they would plug into.

if you look at the lines of the card being straight, this is not parallel.

 

 Thank you so much for your time!!!

Is there a problem with it? Maybe I’m missing something but it looks barely bent, well within reason.

This is quite common, as the housing is made of soft plastic.

No, nothing wrong. Thank you for your response! And really? Good to know fairly normal right?

OK thank you for your response!! Are you sure? Is this common? Do you think overtime this could get worse and lose connection with the card?

Does the connector wobble, or is it solid just at an angle? As long as it isn't wobbling, it is normal and shouldn't get worse over time unless you are constantly being rough when disconnecting and reconnecting the cables.

You should not worry about this unless the connector actually comes loose.

No, it does not wobble. I tried yesterday maybe slight amount of flex

Yes so I just checked and when I push it up and down with a bit of force the whole card flexes a little bit the power connection piece does not flex more than anything else 

hope I didn’t damage it just now lol

I mean if you're worried about it download OCCT and run the donut of doom and tell it to check for errors.   If it fines no issues within an hour of testing I doubt there's an issues with it.

Thank you for the response!
