I asked this in another thread that kind of spiraled out of control from the original topic, so I'm starting this one fresh with it's own topic.
I built my computer during a time where just about every graphics card 8/6 pin connector was on the side of the card, rather than on the top. Now that just about every current gen of cards has the connectors on the top, i've ran into a bit of an oddity.
I can only use cards that are either half length itx or full length cards that have the 8/6 pin connectors far into the middle of the card, rather than on the edges.
Here is a picture of my problem
It's not the best of pictures, but my current graphics card is an itx and the cables rest right on the "circle" of the fan, which is perfect - no rubbing against the blades.
However, any longer cards with the 8/6 pin connectors on the edge of the card presents the problem of the cables rubbing up against the fan blades.
My question for you: Does anyone know of any R9 280x cards that have their psu connectors centered in the middle of the card rather than the edge OR is in itx form? Here is a perfect example of what I need regarding the full length cards http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487069&cm_re=gtx_970-_-14-487-069-_-Product once you open the gallery it's the 5th picture that shows the placement of the connectors.
