k7s5a ECS Motherboard Hint

[Baddog]

Hello Everyone,
I noticed in another fourm something I thought was useful for the K7s5a motherboard. Everyone is starting to find out the difficulty of getting the Video card in this motherboard. One user installed his video card in the AGP slot a couple of times to loosen the slot some before he put the motherboard in the case.
Hope this is helpful!

Thanks for the hint. I would think you want a tight fit so that the board doesn't come out. But if it is too tight to get the card in, then that is a design problem. Does the board manufacturer know about this?

Hello,
Have heard of a few tales of bending the motherboard, and breaking or chipping the insulation around the terminals.
It is tight, that is way you here of so many video problems.
But it should not shake loose.
