So I was having an issue where the default mounting backplate that came with my EVGA RTX 3090 XC3 Ultra Hydro Copper spanned only a single slot and didn't even have any screw holes in it. I contacted EVGA support and they were gracious enough to send me a new mounting backplate that spanned two slots and did have screw holes.
After installing the new backplate and before mounting, I connected my GPU to the vertical mounting plate just to make sure everything looked good, and it appeared to look fine.
Then I mounted everything, connected my riser cable, and 8+8 power cables, and it's crooked. Like, not even slightly crooked. It's at about a 30° angle from the motherboard. If you look at the exterior of the case, everything looks fine where it's mounted to the expansion slots, but for whatever reason, the GPU is sitting crooked. It otherwise seems pretty stable. No wobbling or anything.
I don't imagine this will have any effect on the GPU's operation, but it's really weird and my OCD is having a hard time dealing with this... LOL. Has anyone ever seen such a thing?
