This is why most companies void the warranty if you remove the stock cooler. People are retarded and no one can be trusted to do even the simplest of mod's.

Oh man, this gets better.
Apparently, this is what he was trying to install on to the card. His issue was that the bracket holes did not line up with the holes in the PCB. So he decided to drill the *PCB* rather then the bracket. I'm not going to judge, becuase I have done stupid stuff in the past, but you have to learn how to engineer your problems wisely....which hopefully he got out of this.
Yeah, but it sounds like you might be an electrical engineer and are familiar with the design of the device.
This reminds me ofEmbedded media from this media site is no longer available
Seems like something Linus would do... The case looks like something thrown together in high school welding class.
Are we sure this wasn't actually Linus himself?
Oh right, that's where I had seen that before. Was for the same reason too If I recall.linus only cuts off DVI connectors from titan x's to make 'em single slot. however, jayztwocents once drilled through an x99 board with similar results as the guy here.

Some people just don't think Printed Circuit Board literally means a board with circuits printed into it.There is just no excuse for this. I did a quick search and EVGA uses 12 layer boards for their 980Ti Kingpin; typical 980Tis are probably 8 or 10 layer boards. How anyone ever thought this was a good idea I will never in a million years begin to understand.
I wonder if the OP has speedholes in his car too.
Annnnddddd this is why you don't join a youtube based forum for tech related stuff. We have a 10k desk but they have a guy just randomly drilling into a video card. Jesus man. At least he could've TRIED to send it back to zotac before breaking it in half. I know its not completely ethical but the worst they could say is no.
