Posted September 12, 2014 Hey guys, I just recently build my system and my psu stopped working, I had to take it out for rma and while doing so I noticed how my graphicscard was kinda bent? Or it was hanging off to one side because it was struggling to hold up its own weight... it's just a very little flex, barely noticeable but it really, really bugs me and I notice it every day because the tower is literally next to my face and the windowed sidepanel doesnt help either... is that normal? I don't want it to break off?? One more question.. is it normal that you have to force the 24pin powercable into the motherboard so hard that it causes it to flex? AMD FX 6300 @3.9GhzAsus M5A97 evo R2.0PALIT OC GTX 770 2gbHyperx 2x4gb EVGA 600b PSU <- died after two weeks but evga agreed to sent me a fully modular gold 650w psu free of charge, which is nice. Eehh please forgive me my cable management skillz.. they suck i know it's my first build :> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted September 12, 2014 Yeah its normal. Most aftermarket cards do that.

Posted September 12, 2014 Heavy cards sag, that is a pretty common thing. On of the reasons backplates is a thing.

Posted September 12, 2014 Some PSU's (Some Corsairs) have a 24 pin connector that's a challenge to get connected, no worries. The GPU won't get damaged by bending a little but just google around to find some fixes, a lot of people have their own solution.
