So card came today, i used Guru3d thing removed the old drivers.

I wanted to ask you guys 2 things.

 

To plug in the power to gpu i used 2 seperate 6pin connectors (different cables from psu got a 550w one)

and second, i think the front clip of the pci express didnt attach very well, should i be worried? (might be my idea) Although i havent had any issues the 30min the card is on, am gonna try to strees it out a little bit and come back to you.

Am guessing if i had any problems, they would be screen related right? cause the adaptor wouldnt do "good" contact.

jep. there would be no image and if you connect your monitor to the mobo it wouldn't show the gpu in the devices list
