Replacement MSI 970

[el-nino]

Hi guys, small question.

One of my MSI 970 gaming editions blew up about 12 days ago. OCUK did a great job replacing it for me although they took a while to dispatch my replacement.

That arrived today however its a slight different design as to the original one I own. The issue is the new card is slightly bigger than my other card. And there's the issue for me when I went to connect my MSI bridge I realised that the new card is slightly higher causing the bridge to be angled slightly I was just concerned about the fit.

All seems well I just wondered if this could cause issues?

Id probably just use the bridge that came with the motherboard. Iirc it's a flexible one with the formula boards.

Aslong as nothing is bending, and it works, should be okay !

There's a new revision of the MSI GTX 970 Gaming Edition, version 1.1 or 1.3 which is explained here >> http://www.overclock.net/t/1515697/msi-gtx-900-gaming-edition-owners-club/870#post_24154015
