Hey guys,
Received my build from PCS a few days ago and I must say I'm impressed with everything about them so far! However I've got a slight problem, the Bitfenix Prodigy is fitted with a GTX 770 (It's the 4gb version, Palit jetstream), I'm guessing maybe this GPU is a little too big but it seems like it presses on the side of the case and makes a horrible noise.
I've done other things to isolate the problem and if the GPU fan is spinning at like 50%+ I need to take both screws out of the side of the case and let the case relax outwards a little bit. If both screws are in and the side is on properly it sometimes hits the side of it. However when plugged into the DVI slot (to the right, if facing it) if the cable moves a little bit, it will start making that noise, so I have to use the DVI port to the left of that which is no problem.
So a little upset about this as the noise is horrible and it sounds like it could be doing damage (A really loud grating noise).
I can't say I know anything about hardware as I'm a software guy so I didn't really want to fiddle around with it. It could be an easy fix or the GPU is not seated properly so I thought I'd pop here before contacting PCS.
Thanks in advance.
Chris.
