PCIE Extender?

[Platinum_Gamer]

I have a gtx 560Ti that I purchased but the case is way too small, should I cut into the case and use a pcie extender to fit the card? Will this damage performance at all? My current card is the g210, which is 5 years old. I am NOT buying a new case!! I will be building my own PC in the future, maybe 5 months, but getting a 970 for that.

you your GPU has a blackplate, id would use velcro or double side tape and stick it to the side of the case, BUT DONT DARE IF YOU DONT GOT NO BACKPLATE

zip ties?

Would that be fine while the card is running?

Ok, thanks I will buy one of the extenders then, just want something that will run my games until I get my PC

yep, as long as the zip ties don't get in the way of a fan, a fan could grind it up.
