I see your issue, but I'm not quite sure what your asking? Perhaps your just tightening it too much?

what i was thinking is that the nickle plated part is not even with vram acetal block so when i tighten the alan key i can see a slightly bend at end of the card,is it safe if the card is bend and running long term...???


from my point of view is that the block is not depth is not enough...

Is it the card or the block? Eitherway why don't you losen the screws at the end where contact is being made and tighten at the other end.

i afraid that if i loosen it,then the acetal vram block will not contact properly with the thermal pad that cover the vram..
