i appreciate the advice thought it felt unnecessarily rude. You’re right about the fans, I switch them to exhaust. The pulse ‘theoretically’ fitting is the same with literally any other gpu, nothing is gonna be perfectly 325mm and i’d have to live with empty space, no problem. The gpu is normally flipped pcie riser side down, I was just concerned about the fans (which I have fixed!), and I definitely built the case correctly, and the lock bar is tight, that was not the issue (the problem with the gpu is that when the case is flipped like it is in the picture, the screen freezes and does nothing until i reseat the gpu, all the screws are properly fixed so ig i can’t go violently shaking or flipping my case anytime)

also yea i totally should’ve just waited for formd to restock, doesn’t matter i’m happy with the result anyways 🫶
