minus-squaredeadbeef79000@lemmy.nzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·4 days agoJust don’t. This puts lateral stress on the motherboard pci socket and on the ports soldered to the card. Better to remove the back plate entirely.
minus-squaresem@lemmy.blahaj.zoneOPlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·4 days agoAs in, it’s applying a force on the pci-e slot in the direction of the back plate? That makes sense. On the other hand, when I turn it back upright, gravity will apply a downward force on the pci-e. :( I will try loosening the screws so the lateral force is less but still enough to counteract gravity.

minus-squaredeadbeef79000@lemmy.nzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·4 days agoActually, yeah. That’s the best of both worlds. If you can crib some washers to pack the gap, you’ll be fine.
Just don’t.
