I want to warn people that there is a possibility that a GTX 280 or GTX 260 will not slide all
the way into the first PCI-E slot on their motherboard.
There is a small black plastic box right next to the back plate on the GTX 280 and GTX 260
that touches a single poorly placed capacitor on my Abit IN9 32X-MAX motherboard. Trying to
press the card all the way in only pressed the capacitor straight down towards the board.
The only thing I can do is buy a new motherboard since I need the GTX 280 for a review I am
trying to write.
For more information about my ordeal you can read this article.
If anyone else has this problem with a different motherboard please let us know which one so
that we can make a list or something.
