whelp
I used it like this for like a month
>>53551430
I still don't have screws
I put the cup of my glasscleaner between the gpu and the HDD
I really hope it doesn't melt
>>53551443
after correction
>>53551460
the right side of the card is deeper in the case than the left side
gpu still works
I can't
the screws come with the case
if you lose them you can buy more at any hardware store for less than a dollar you fucking moron
>buys AMD
>get spoo-in-loo quality
You asked for this.
Not sure if you're retarded but screws are Universal use the ones from you're old card you mong.
>>53551430
Hey dingus. The screws should have been bundled with your case, it's not up to the gpu manufacturers to give you screws, no gpu manufacturer bundles screws with their gpu. You should have set aside the screws of your case.
>>53551495
>the screws come with the case
I bought the computer parts, brought them to the hardware store and they installed it in a case they provided and gave me no screws
also I dont have a screwdriver
>>53551503

>>53551521
this has to be a troll right? Nobody can be THIS stupid right?
>>53551443
also the SSD is ducttaped to the bottom of the case because it didn't come with screws nor ssd case witch is on the ssd installation manual
Ask nvidia, see if they can send you over some of their world-famous wood screws.
>>53551572
not troll
I checked the back of my case after I watched the linustechtips video of how to install a gpu with luke and he said dont forget to screw in the card and I was like wtf you have to screw it in?
>>53551584
The screws that were bundled with your case. The jews at your local hardware store kept them if they didn't give them to you after assembling your computer.
>>53551430

what
there arent any unnecessary screws on the motherboard
>>53551521
what about like... buying screws and a screwdriver? mad idea I know
>>53551674
There are at least 6 screws holding in your motherboard. There is more than enough redundancy to use one for the gfx card.
What's holding up the blank slots then OP? Use the screws from that or take 2 from the Hard drive.
>>53551722
>What's holding up the blank slots
its a weak tiny metal
you have to push out those blank slots with force, no screws
>take 2 from the Hard drive
then the Hard drive would have 0 screws
>>53551430
OP you are literally pants on head retarded.
You have 4 screws holding up the HDD take one from one side take another from another side. Or use the screw that's on your third pic
just tape it

>>53552497
he probably got it on sale for cyber monday
that's how i got it. clean $200
OP here
I tried another screw from the case but NO screw goes through these holes
I think it needs a special screwdriver to make a way for the screw first
>>53552599
so here is what I did
I loosened one of the screws on the gpu and fastened the case between the screw and the gpu
I dont know if its a permanent solution but it sure is better than nothing
>>53552596
I just bought it for (ironically) $390
>>53552624
>>53552497
I bought the 390 because /g/ and /v/ memed so hard about the 970
also benchmarks show 390 is clearly better
OP, you won't recreate the magic of the tabasco, you frontloaded all you're material.
>>53551430
You may not be this stupid, but you're sure as hell trying.
OP, stop fucking with us and put the screws back in.
>>53552624
So long as it keeps it up it's fine.
But you really should get a screw or even a bit of thick wire to add more support.
Ghettoing is fine so long as it's fuctional
Just use superglue and glue it into the pcie slot, most glues are conductive enough for this to work
All of you are not nearly as smart as you think you are.
He can just use a screw holding in one of the other PCI slot covers.
You don't need all the PCI slot covers there. No, it won't make a difference in your precious airflow, and it has zero chance of affecting any other components (for instance, taking out a mobo screw could actually help warp it over time with a heavy heatsink; I've had it happen in an hold Athlon XP system).
>>53552674

>>53552624
oh shit, i was thinking of the 280x when i said $200

>>53552905
its because in europe every tech product is at least 30% more expensive
http://www.moddiy.com/products/High-Quality-Vented-Black-Expansion-Slot-Cover.html
extra expansion slot covers with screws included
these slots/screws are largely standardized since they need to work with cards that also fit the standard. the screws should work fine, and then you have extra slot covers to work with if you lose your own. for less than a dollar before shipping, too, so you don't have much of an excuse.

It doesn't need a special screwdriver. Search "PCI slot thumb screw" if you want something that doesn't need tools at all. Just LOOK, nigga.
>>53553545
Sure but I like to keep plastic away from any electronically powered devices just in case they might melt and fuck everything up, ya know.
But judging from your OP I understand you're not the brightest bulb out there, so that's okay.
Get a bag of computer case screws off eBay, get a #1 and #0 Phillips screwdriver and never worry about it again. Shouldn't even cost you $10.

Op you are so stupid it hurts.
You could have gotten mx 3.5 Philips screws for as low as .30$ each 10 n a hardware store(not a computer hardware store, but an actual home depot like store).
But nope lets canibalize everything except the shit we have at hand that could be usable.

You said you have no screwdriver, so how did you loosen that screw
>>53552742
A lot of slot covers are attached and you have to bend them to break them out.
In >>53552599 you can see he has one screwed in and below the graphics cards there are ones that aren't screwed in.
It's probably best to assume, if you can't see them, that they need to be broken out rather than that they are screwed in.
In any event, if they had been screwed in then the screws that had to be taken out to remove the covers to install the card should have been used. And if they had to be broken out then why did they screw in one of the covers and not the graphics card?
It all just makes no sense.
