Hello. Bit of an odd question, but is there such thing as a bracket I could mount on my case so I can have my graphics card in a different spot? I know you can buy extension cables so I can plug the graphics card in via one of those.
The reason why I want a bracket is that my motherboard has 2 PCIE x16 ports. Unfortunately, one is slightly damaged, and I get a white flicker along the bottom of the monitor when playing a game or Youtube video full screen.
The other port is fine, but is very close to the PSU, so the fans are less than an inch from it, blowing directly onto it. I tested my graphics card in the port, and it started getting quite hot, so I moved it back.
So in an ideal world I would be able to mount my graphics card somewhere else in the case, then run an extension lead to the less accessible PCIE x16 port.
