hi there,
I really need to know im doing this right, never installed a card b4 and I need to make sure im doing it right.
as far as I know I'm supposed to just slot it into a spare pci slot and attach the power cable. thing is the card is damn heavy, it feels like the weight of it might damage either the card or the motherboard. it says in the manual about using a screwing bracket to support it, but no such item was included with the card.
also with the positioning of my m/b the back side of the card (with the circuitry) will be facing up, which looks incorrect to me
please help!
 
this is the last part of my first build!
still can't figure out the clasping mechanism on the back of the case.
 
thank you, i took the plunge and all seems good :)
the card does indeed seem to sag a bit and im only 75% sure its supported properly at the back of the case. in any case the weight does not seem nearly as much a problem now its in. it seems like it would be obvious whether its in correctly or not but i will add pics to to my project log tommorow (drunk now and can't understand flickr) to show what I mean. if im still unsure i will just pay £45 to get the whole rig checked over ina few weeks, ive invested a lot in it and thats fine to pay that much more to make sure all is good.
for the first time I got to jack all the settings up as far as they go! sliding those bars up was a very big treat for me :D
thanks for all your help guys
