Would you say this GPU was properly seated?

[DCat]

It’s in the phanteks vertical riser as far as it will go. The retaining lever clicked up. But those holes I’ve circled in yellow worry me?

Yep link broken.

I tried a different host - does that one work?

This one works https://ibb.co/qdTfK9q

Removed. Wrong thread

Does it work?

As long as clip came up then it's seated.

No, that's not properly seated on the right-hand side of the picture. At a guess you've got one of the slot plates stuck on something.

It’s outside of the case in that photo!

Haven’t got the loop tubed up yet.

Heh! I'll blame the lighting. But you can see that the RHS - just to the left of where is says ROHS upside down - is not fully in. It looks like it just has to be pressed home. Probably the same on the left.

Lol. I know that’s exactly the way it looks to me as well but it won’t physically go in further and it’s level on both sides. Tried with another GPU - exactly the same. This build has been the worst ever.

Could really do with someone with the same riser telling me how theirs looks.

 

[Quartz]

Do you have a photo with better lighting? If you look at the gap on the right, it looks like the end of the riser slot has a mould point or something on it which is making it too big to fit into the gap in the card. If that's the case then some gentle work with a file on the riser slot should do the trick.

But really, why not just speak to OCUK customer support and get them to send you a replacement?

Here’s a gif with flash on. https://ibb.co/9ZTtLQt

Depending on what you think to that I’ll contact OCUK as you suggest (hadn’t even thought of it til you suggested it tbh).

 

[Quartz]

In that picture there seems to be an air gap on the RHS. Is the card pressed fully home? Have you checked that there isn't an insect or something in there?

^^^^ This, surely.

Worry about it if it doesn’t work, not before you’ve even tested it.

 

[DCat]

I’ve pressed it fully down and I’ve blown in the thing - no insects or diamonds or anything hidden in there.

I am tempted to give it a go as it makes a lovely click when the retaining arms pop up - but could I knacker the card?

 

[Pulseammo]

When it's in the case does the back PCI slot bracket line up with the mounting holes on the case?

Looks like it's in as far as it will go since the ejection lever is about to push into the card from the looks of your gif, so if you push it further it'll just try to eject the card?

 

[DCat]

Yeah the bracket holes line up as well as they ever do, virtually perfect.

And you’re right about about the lever - I was considering trimming tiny bit of the lever off which makes contact but tbh it’s not up against the card with pressure as it’s done it’s job and sitting there in a non-stressed state.

The pins that are partially out deliver power. It's not the lever on the LHS that gives me concern; it's the gap on the RHS. Do you have another video card you can try?
