    Possible Problem with Rampage 4 black edition motherboard from SCAN.

    Hi check out this picture of my GPU, its sagging so bad that on my GTX 690 im getting a an increase of 10 degrees in temps on GPU1 according to AIDA 64. The temps are 33 and 43, as soon as i push the card up with my fingers the temps on gpu 1 drop to arrou 33 which is what i what on my old x58. I never had this problem on my old x58, can someone confirm for me if this board is faulty or what i can do to get rid of this problem?
    Thanks.

    It's not the motherboard, it's the weight of your block twisting the card. The tubing coming from above could be pushing the card down as well. Having your pci-e power cables coming from below won't help either. Run your pci-e cables around the rear of the motherboard tray so that they come from that slot above so that they take some of the weight off the card. Someone (possibly Sapphire) used to ship their high end cards with a little jack type thing that supported the end of the card to stop things like this from happening. You may be able to pick one up on the bay.

    And that's why I like my Zalman case, it comes with a plastic side strip which holds a fan but also supports heavy cards.
