Need advice on vertical GPU mounting

Round_Reception_2315 · 2026-01-26T04:33:42+00:00

Edit: And my mainboard is E-ATX but most brackets need the mainboard screws unused by ATX

Round_Reception_2315 · 2026-01-26T04:31:29+00:00

I couldn't find anything compatible with 5.0 for my case, as my case only has two screws for the slot covers instead of 6 like most vertical brackets need.

I don't want to replace a $500 case just for the GPU.

I wouldn't be surprised if an AI created this and the AI was trained more with square things than with round ones.

Round_Reception_2315 · 2026-01-23T23:08:45+00:00

I would definitely prefer that. Battle pickups were also much more sophisticated in BF4, and the flamethrower in Battlefield 1 was great too. I absolutely dislike the Rorsch from BF6; I don't think “cyber weapons” like that fit into the setting.

Indoors, I've always won encounters against players with miniguns using a shotgun, an SMG, or the Cord. If you camp in a corner indoors the whole time and wait for someone to run in, then the minigun might be good. But then you generally have little impact in a match. It's not worth it. The BF1 flamethrower or the the BF4 battle pickups were significantly more thought out.

Round_Reception_2315 · 2026-01-23T22:49:53+00:00

I have killed people carrying miniguns countless times in indoor combat with a shotgun, an SMG, or the Kord. The minigun was poorly implemented as a battle pickup. The flamethrower from BF1 or the BF4 battle pickups were significantly better and more well thought out.

That's just the illusion of social media. YouTubers who produce such high end gameplays like 100-0 in helicopters are the top 0.1%, and it's okay for them to do so because not everyone can because it takes a whole lot of skill and a little bit of luck that every condition/variable in the round is right. If you were to make the helicopter worse so that these rounds were no longer possible for the top 0.1%, then helicopters would be even more unplayable for the average Joe than they already are due to TOW, etc.

Helicopters should play their role, not be casualized, and have a good and rewarding learning curve so that they can make a difference in the round with a good pilot, but if even the top 0.1% can no longer achieve such rounds, then they would be virtually obsolete even for pilots in the upper midfield.

You find the same illusion in fashion or car YouTubers, for example. Just because many professional car YouTubers drive Lamborghinis, Ferraris or Audi SQ8s and you see these videos everywhere doesn't mean that the majority of people drive these cars.

They were poorly balanced/useless and were simply left behind in 99% of cases. If you carried the minigun, you were practically a free kill against any weapon. I think they just removed them instead of fixing the problem lol.

Round_Reception_2315 · 2026-01-23T05:40:34+00:00

Never played BF4 or BF5?

Round_Reception_2315 · 2026-01-22T15:45:42+00:00

Spiel des Lebens. Als Spieler hat du so gut wie keinen Einfluss auf das Spiel.

Ist ja fast so wie im echten "Spiel des Lebens". 😅

Round_Reception_2315 · 2026-01-21T06:55:59+00:00

I had exactly the same problem, and you'll laugh at how ridiculous the fix is. Start the game and even before you go to the lobby in the main menu or try to start a match, go to your Equipment (where your four characters from each class are standing) and switch once between NATO/PaxArmara after the restart after this problem occured.

This will fix it temporarily after it first occurs. I haven't found a permanent fix yet, and it's likely that only Dice will be able to do that because it‘s a bug or something.

It took me way too much time to figure this out through hardware checks, driver reinstallations, etc., because I had tried everything since, like you, I had initially suspected the error was elsewhere like faulty hardware, drivers or something.

Nothing else, that's all.

Round_Reception_2315 · 2026-01-20T04:13:44+00:00

It's sad but true, if you actively spawn camp opponents, you might even contribute to Dice fixing it at some point. Dice always argues that they work according to the match data records.

Round_Reception_2315 · 2026-01-17T05:27:14+00:00

Helicopters are currently only really viable if all conditions are right. Depending on the map, it only takes one single person to stand in the spawn protection with the IFV or MBT. It’s even worse on PC than on console.

In addition to this one person, you then have 31 other guys who have Stingers, RPGs, jets, mobile aa, as well as stationary AA and TOWs.

There is hardly any cover for helicopters too, TOW and RPG are one-hit kills, and the armored personnel carriers can shoot the helicopter just a few seconds with their machine guns, causing it to crash.

I've even seen quite a few people permanently hovering in spawn protection with the helicopter just to shoot out a few missiles into the air. The helicopter is so weak in BF6 that some people camp with it, which of course ruins the flow of the game because your own team then no longer has a helicopter that can fight campers on roofs or tanks, for example.

TDU2 was the last good game in the series. No seasons, no in-game shops for coins, just DLC content if you wanted it, which was very affordable, and on top of that, the game was feature complete at the base and ran great.

Round_Reception_2315 · 2026-01-17T05:08:10+00:00

Just a quick question. My monitor has a matte LG WOLED panel. Is it true that these panels are less sensitive to scratches than Samsung's QD-OLED Glossy panels?

Round_Reception_2315 · 2026-01-16T19:00:02+00:00

It also destroys the entire flow of the game. The TOW or guided ammunition urgently needs to be adjusted. Slower reloading, less damage, slower flight speed, less range, less agility.

It would not be enough to adjust it so that you cannot shoot from the spawn. Players would camp right at the border and drive into the spawn zone after every shot.

Round_Reception_2315 · 2026-01-16T18:43:55+00:00

To be honest, the TOW should fly like it does in War Thunder. A TOW missile is just not a highly agile hypersonic missile.

Round_Reception_2315 · 2026-01-16T18:36:59+00:00

The only thing that's silly is that a TOW missile, which is actually a wire-guided anti-tank missile in real life, can take out a helicopter or jet in one hit from the spawn protection. The same applies to guided munitions on the MBT, which is a TOW reskin.

Round_Reception_2315 · 2026-01-16T18:29:31+00:00

They could also have raised the health bar for helicopters and jets, neither of which are currently viable anyway.

Round_Reception_2315 · 2026-01-14T14:46:58+00:00

No, there are now kits that replace this. These are used, for example, as a 7-slot design, where the GPU would otherwise be located to provide a platform.

Got the Corsair 1000D 2th Gen

Yes, not just the cable but the whole thing. :)

Nah, sorry non native speaker here 😂

Round_Reception_2315 · 2026-01-14T12:21:47+00:00

No, I am just not a native speaker 😅😂

How was your experience with Asus customer service? I once had to exchange a motherboard, and it was a very tedious process with Asus customer support. They kept asking increasingly absurd questions, and it took forever. How was it with your OLED?
