Board,
I am running into a problem concerning a build based on the Asus P7P55D, the Club 3D Radeon HD5750 and the Thermalright HR-02.
I can not insert the Radeon card on the mobo as there are components on the card touching the side of the Thermalright HR-02.
The components I am referring to can be seen on this picture (this ain't my build) :
They are located on the side of the card facing the heat sink. They are orange and there are 3 or 4 of those.
First question would be, what are those ? are they heat sinks ?
Second question is, is it ok to remove those and how to do so without harming the card.
If those are heat sinks, I'd definitely try to remove them as I'm supposed to have great airflow with the fortress ft-02.
Also, I tried to plug the card on the second available slot but its reduced speed is noticeable on full hd content.
Cheers!
Can't insert HD5750 Silent on Asus P7P55D + Thermalright HR2
