Since then, NZXT replaced the metal screws with nylon screws which while will "fix" the problem for now, the issue is still with the pci-e riser. Because if the user ever decides to replace the nylon screw with a metal one for whatever reason, it can potentially be a fire hazard once again. So GN wanted NZXT to replace the pci-e riser with a good one where the screw won't be able to make contact with the 12 volt but NZXT said naw. And thus the video was made. |
Just want to highlight the workaround to prevent fire (not a fix since the riser card still defective) require none conductive skews. Simply adding plastic washers will not fix the issue. I highlight this because there other videos out there where people added plastic washers to fix the issue without replacing the skews. Base on what Game Nexus showed I don't believe plastic washer would prevent a fire. The actual skews need to be replace or ideally the riser it self.
