mobo design

why do the board manufacturers forget about the system panel connectors alignment, compared with the latest 'chunky' 2 (and 3 slot) GPU cards?

these GPUs overhang over the connectors, making it impossible to fit the last graphics card into last PCI-E.

unless you break your GPU warranty, but replacing their cooling solution with your own, crossfire or SLI on some major mobos is unobtainable!

You'd think they might have noticed by now don't you.

let's hope they read this - lol

some boards even come extra connectors/adaptors, to make it simpler to wire up to the system panel. these protrude even further off the board, making the pins more prone to being bent or broken, AND making multi-GPU configs even more of a headache !!!
