Gigabyte GPU rear cover a bit too tight?
Posted: Sat Aug 25, 2018 4:21 pm
I've been using a very good GeForce 1050 ti from Gigabyte since a year and half (perhaps a bit more) with no issues at all.
After mounting the card on my new motherboard, I noticed that the plastic cover of the rear of the card is a bit tight and close to the circuits, even slightly touching some of the microchips on it, as can be seen on the next photos:
Should I be worried about this?
I'm not completely sure if it was like this before, or if it happened when mounting the card on the new mobo, as I noticed the card is a bit misaligned when looking at the slots at the back of the case, and I felt like the cover of the card (both the rear side as well as on the side that has the fans) moved and 'clicked' a tiny bit when the card was mounted.
Here is a photo showing how it got aligned to the case:
Taking both the alignment and rear cover issues aside, the card is working perfectly and stable, as far as I can tell (been playing videogames with no issues)
