Hi all,

I am currently building my new system.
I am using an Aorus Elite AX X670 motherboard and just installed the waterblock Eisblock GPX on my Asus 4080 super Tuf gaming.
I noticed that when putting the graphics card in the pcie slot the backplate of the block is blocking the retention clip so it will fit in the pcie slot.
luckily I was planning on using a vertical bracket but just something to keep in mind...

Gr,

Joris S.

Oh, thank you very much for the tip. We actually didn't realise that Gigabyte were using new clips. We will check who else is using these clips and possibly take this into account in the next generation.
Thanks again for letting us know. I'll write you a PN straight away.
