Hello folks,

 

I have a Gtx 590 graphics card with a EK waterblock, the issue is that two screw holes around the second GPU are stripped. I want to know if anyone have a good way of repairing this damage, I cant think of a good way of going about this, any help will be greatly appreciated

Thanks but I don't think so, cause I cant move the hole or drill it deeper, dont wont to go though the block, cant go wider cause that means i have to make the hole in the card larger.

Ah, bummer :/

Never had this problem, don't really know how to help ya here, sorry :(

Hopefully you find a solution!

The only good way is to contact EK and see if they have the side you want and just replace it. Trying to repair those types of screw holes is very risky.

I wish that was possible finding block for the 590 is next to impossible, I guess in a couple of months I'll up grade to a couple of Gtx 980's thanks for your reply

You can find the EK590 block at performance-pcs at present.
