My Kraken G10

[killjoyjim]

Hey all.I got my KrakenG10 and my Kraken x40. So I went to installit in my son's PNYGTX 465 and found out it wont fit. The holes in the psb are no were able to line up.
Just wanted to let you all know.It will not fit 400 series card's.

awwwwwwwwwwwww that suuuuuuuuuucks! Is there no way to mod the mounting hardware or maybe contact NZXT to see if they have a solution for you on the matter?

Yea, its a tough call when the GPU isn't listed, but he tried and gave it a shot.
He asked me the same question since I tested the G10, but since I didn't have a 400 series card laying around there was now way for me to confirm.

So it was a risk that he took.. But the holes on the mounting unit can't be modified since they are already sitting really close to the edge,

Sorry.I already have his card back in his rig.
The screw's go in at a bit of a angle. So wen you tighten down the top screw's it bend's the psb. I think if the holes wer a bit bigger.Or #4 slot's instead of #3 it would have worked.The screw's went inword towrd the center.

Sorry to hear that man. Is there any way you can mod it to fit?

[killjoyjim]

Nope. I wish I could.

[killjoyjim]

Thank's Tee.Don't know untill ya try.

[TeeBlack]

Thank's Tee.Don't know untill ya try.

i think maybe the G10 its probably for the nvidia 600 series and up

[killjoyjim]

It say's 500 and up.

pull out Dremel and mod the holddown bracket, just cut the screw slot few mm bigger.

[Solara2xb]

Tony, it doesn't need to go bigger, it needs to go smaller which won't be possible since its already the hole are already at the edge of the bracket.
Looks like the 400 series cards had smaller spacing.

[killjoyjim]

Yup They sure do.
