Holes in GPU PCIe connector

[Ximerous]

Will a GPU be busted if I dremmeled some holes into the pcie connector?(I already did) It gets it power through pci and fans turn on. I think mobo is busted anyways but wanted to know about the gpu.

The PCIe power connections, or PCIe lane??
Why did you have a dremel near either?
Pictures?

Hello... Air holes for the back of the case?

I litterally drilled holes into the pcie out that you put into motherboard(to make it fit better on a motherboard). CONFIRMED WORKING

It doesn't get power from psu, gets it via pcie. This was on a EVGA 210, not advised on a high end(but it'd probably work fine)

Fit better?? What were you doing XD
For the most part the PCB is just blank plastic, if you dont damage any contacts or circuitry there is technically nothing wrong with that.

Just to clarify -do you mean on the card, through the (usually) gold plated/colored contact points on the card where it sticks out as the "tab" you place into the PCIe slot on mobo? Or just somewhere on the general area of card (the PCB)...?

No you don't understand I don't think, pictures incoming.

Update with pictures:
This picture is what usually acts as a lock/stabilizer

This picture is the holes I made in the PCIe connector

.. If it works... it works..!?

You could cause a board short..but I imagine it would have happened if it was going to happen !

Honestly... Im impressed that is still working.
