GPU slanting pronlem
Hello is it fine if my gpu is slanting a bit. I got the gtx 780 acx sc with pretty big fans and heatsink and was wondering if the slanting end will cause a problem. It iss tigtly in the PCI slot and the screws are screwed tightly on the ports side. Will the slanting cause any problems? the slanting is towards the 8 and 6 pin slots

Try reseating it, it may not be fully in the slot.

Some video cards and their heatsinks are very heavy and the weight is too much for the slot. You then normally have to have a plastic clip that holds the other end of the video card to make it stable/safe. You might want to make sure you read the manual for the card and make sure it doesn't require something else to hold the card level.
