GET GRAPHICAL

-

THIS IS ONE BIG and heavy graphics card; so heavy that it comes with an adjustable stand. For now, keep the case on its side and remove the two blanking plates for the PCIe slot on the mobo closest to the processor. Open the clasp on that slot and carefully lower the GPU into place, pushing it down until it clicks. Use the two screws from the blanking plates to secure it. Turn the case upright again; you’ll notice that the card sags slightly due to its weight. Position the stand below the unsecured end of the GPU, and extend it until it supports the card horizontal­ly, avoiding the fans, then use the thumbscrew to secure it. Be careful when moving the case from here on in; we found the stand susceptibl­e to falling out of position.
