I recently bought a reference design AMD R9 290x and a Hydro Series HG10 A1 GPU Liquid Cooling Bracket from corsair. After removing the stock cooling system on the card and installing the new bracket, i noticed the card is flexing on the side without the gpu. I took apart the card and examined how the card makes contact with the bracket and everything lines up fine from what i see. I don't know why it would make a difference but the 290x i bought was a refurbished card. Maybe the card is an older version and the bracket is designed for the more recent version? Please help.
