edit : To confirm i'm using a clc 280mm aio from evga on the cpu
Hello, I recently purchased some new parts to build a new PC.


I'm just curious on if these temps are fine.

I seem to be having a problem fitting this gpu : https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814930002&cm_re=asrock_phantom_gaming-_-14-930-002-_-Product

into this case : https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146190&cm_re=nzxt_s340-_-11-146-190-_-Product

and this motherboard : https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813119038&cm_re=asus_prime_z370-a-_-13-119-038-_-Product




Here are the temps from speccy :


As you can see I do not have my gpu seated currently due to the heatsinks on the motherboard and the weird connector plate of the GPU seems to be having trouble fitting into the case / motherboard.


I checked pcpartpicker to make sure that there are no issues with compatibility.

temps fine, though you need to stress it to measure real temps.

What would you recommend to stress test it?

also thanks.

the gpu seems to struggle to fit in this nzxt s340 case lol.

You should have about 3 inches of space left over, even with the radiator installed.

You can use the stress test in AIDA64 Extreme for testing the load temps.

youre doing it wrong then

The connector plate of the gpu fails to fit the bracket or dividers in the back of the case.
Thanks.

Have you removed the "plates" that come installed with the case?

/e And if so, have you removed the "correct" ones.


One plate should line up just under the center of the PCI-E slot and the other should be right below the first one. Both of those plates on the rear of the case will need removed.

Thanks Ghot.
What is the purpose of the weird design of the connector plate? o.o

e/ those tabs are slightly bent.

It helps to keep the vid card in tight. You're supposed to set the tabs in first, then lower the vid card into the PCI-E slot till the clip at the front of the PCI-E slot clips into place, then put the screw(s) in at the top rear of the vid card.


/e The bend on the tabs is to allow them to be set in place, before the vid card is lowered to the PCI-E slot. Btw, this is normal on all modern vid cards.
