godofdeath Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Is there a way that the case will ever have 8x slots and not the 7 plus 1 vent. Is there a mod to make it like that Or a 800d/700d refresh in the near future to include it One screw holding a dual slot is not that secure to me, and tri sli/crossfire is much nice with a spacing in between them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSX Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 now that u mention that i have a 6 pci-e slot motherboard and the way the motherboard lines up in the case the top slot cannot be used slot 2 lines up with pci-e 1, slot 3 with pci-e 2 and so forth i'm currently using an sli setup and one screw per dual slot card is perfectly fine the top of my the bracket on my cards are concave up and allow fitment of the top screw so basically two screws secure the card (sorta...) just screw them in snug so the cards don't sag but don't overtighten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godofdeath Posted October 16, 2010 Author Share Posted October 16, 2010 thing is that most of the dual slots have the stupid U shape on the first slot so it can somehow slowly start to slip n bend so i like to use both screw holes, so the bottom one prevents it from moving, but on the 7th pci slot on this case would end up being aligned with the first slot of a gfx card so, im afraid it would slip n bend the card i dont get y it doesn't come with a 8th slot, i will pay 10 dollars or so more just to have this in there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSX Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 this case wasn't really future proof designed but i'm happy with it mine are pretty tightly secured and i prop it up while screwing it in so it's nice and level and no bending or sagging occurs make sure your motherboard is aligned correctly, even a mm or so makes a difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
