Leadtek 6800GT

This card has a massive HSF, so I was wondering if anyone who has this card has had any problems with it in a veritcal tower.

By problems, I mean it falling out or bending the card/motherboard.

Please comment if you have a similar setup. Thanks!

I'm sure it's fine. Most people have vertical towers anyway, so do you really thing they'd make a card that would only work in a horizonatal case?

Just make sure the clip on the end of the AGP slot is engaged into the slot on the card and make sure to put that screw in that holds the board to your case (or make sure the card clip is fully engaged if you have that kind of retention)

You'll be fine.

PS: Vast majority of us have vertical cases

the card isn't particularly heavy, and it is secured with a screw, so there should be no problem at all. thats what it was designed for...

Great, wanted to be sure. I realize majority of people have vertical towers, but I have read some reports of folks having weight issues when using stuff like the Zalman 7700 all copper HSF. Just by looking at the Leadtek card, I wondered if it would be a similar story.
