Hello All. I saw over in the hardware section openrigs.com is selling a case for pcie video miners/superman bruteforce rigs. It appears that the gpu cards are hanging by the back plate. It also apears the motherboard is hanging from the 3 screws on the one side. All of the rigs I made I support the back end of the cards. It seems to me that way would put too much tension on the cards and motherboard. Anyone have any thoughts or experience relative to that mounting style?
The old pictures don't show it correctly, we have new pics that show the motherboard crossbar support more accurately (unedited, so excuse the lack of editing) -
As you can see, there's a crossbar the back of the motherboard leans on.
GPUs are supported by the backplate only, which is in line with the PCI definition - the backplate HAS to be able to support the card in its entirety, as in vertical mount scenarios where risers are used there is no support from the PCI-e connector.
