Cables touching GPU

[Leo Onra]

I feel this might be an easy one.

 

Are ok if PSU pcie/vga cables are touching the GPU?

 

Right now Im switching to a 7800xt, since this is a bigger card the second cable is touching some parts of the gpu. Added pic.

 

My current setup:

 

- AMD 5700 X3D with MSI's kombo strike 2 enabled

- MSI b450 tomahawk MAX motherboard

- 2x16 Teamgroup Vulcan 3200mhz cl16 axmp enabled

- 7800 XT XTX QICK319 speedster (just arrived)

- PSU Gold EVGA 650w G5 supernova (I already made another topic about my PSU, I'm aware that is not the recommended).

- 1 nvme m.2 970 Samsung; 1 SSD storage; 1 HDD storage.

- 7 fans.

 

 

Thx in advance!

Shouldn't be much of a problem. You can try to ziptie the cable to your 24pin cable to lift it up from the GPU.

Yup, totally fine. Both the wire insulation, and the outer insulation portion, can get a fair bit hotter than the graphics card will, so totally good.
