so ...

something terrible just happened ! one of my GTXs has a broken GPU cover.
when i took off the cover as explained on EK manual, the GPU cover broke off !!!
so far lucky for me, i called EVGA's support in EU and this great guy answered and is now checking with their RMA department what to do, hopefully they can replace it for me.
i know that EVGA's support is considered very good, so i hope i will enjoy that service as well.

btw, even the EVGA support guy was really surprised when i sent him the picture, he never saw something like this, so i guess this is super rare.


i am a bit tilted right now, since these cost me 1100$ together. and i hope EVGA will help me out of this pain point.

broken card :



i did complete assembly of the other one just fine :



i think i will leave the rest for the weekend, as i am completely tilted by this.
