I prefer single slot myself, always will, but I wouldn't go that far for it :) Well, at least it worked for you in the end.

@EVGATECH_DaveB hopefully it all pays off in the end with a super slick MATX build with my sound card in with SLI 980GTX's :)

The important thing I guess in the end is that you're happy with your work and end result.

Wait a sec..... that dvi shield just looks riveted into the pcb, no?!? There had to be a better way. I def applaud you for modding stuff but I think you could have done it in such a way as not to permanently ruin anything and be able to put it back together properly in case of a issue later. Years ago that's all people did was mod/fabricate parts and tear stuff apart like this because there were so few companys outthere that made aftermarket alternatives etc... of anything. Def keep your pioneering spirit but maybe take a bit longer to look into what you want to do and see if theres a better alternative. :) \m/

I'm also pretty annoyed that nobody makes single slot video cards. The $440 Quadro K2200 I just bought is single slot, why can't a single slot cooler be put on a 970 or something? Good for you for having the bravery to cut your 980 up, but as some here have already said, next time at least protect the rest of the card with a piece of cloth or something.

wmmills, check into the PCB, when i asked around alot of people said that with alot of cards, everything is run thruogh the DVI soldering, so if i unsoldered it, I could ruin the ports, and even just create a short with a junk solder.
But yeah, i wanted 1 slot. I MAKED IT 1 SLOT!
The rig should look muy purty afterwards. :)

Try "OCN" for a coupon code, that worked earlier this month for Frozencpu and "OCN55" for percormance-pcs.com Edit: those are just 5% and 5.5% codes, but better than nothing.

VVhiplash The fact that you dremel tooled the crap out of that WITHOUT covering up the rest of the PCB is what made me cringe. I couldn't watch. All of those teeny-tiny metal filings, just waiting to cause a short or component failure.... *shudder* you are so lucky. I totally agree with you though. I'm sick and tired of all of the DVI VGA ports. I'd love to be able to buy a single slot card like the Asus Ares.
Corrected: Users who only want One Slot Card like the ROG Ares III the cost is $1700.00 for a 8GB 2xGPU Card it is still only 4GB per GPU. A little High and to boot it has a DVI VGA Port. I have been looking for a Single Port High End Graphics Card for two days now and have not found one card.
6990, 7990, 295x2, Ares III...

Thanks a ton. Maybe EK_Derick will be like "Wow Srixon is awesome and cut his card, let send him a full custom watercooling loop because he is so handsome"
...but probably not. :P

Sorry Derick I was only looking for NVIDIA Graphics Cards. I try to say away from AMD Cards, Ares III was the only AMD Card I found but it is on Water.

flamethower i just cannot believe you did not try and protect the rest of the card or work space at all. very lucky. glad it works for you.
Yep. No offense to Srixun, but I think his actions were really stupid. Not stupid because of the outcome or choice to void his warranty. He has the right to do whatever he wants with the hardware. ... It's just that the method was very sloppy. Srixun Awk, If I didnt do it, the setup i want would not fit. But I do appreciate the blind, judgmental, ignorance. :)
For many, I don't think it is the outcome which makes us judgmental. I think most of us are judging your methods and that is what makes us want to rage when we watch the video. A single little metal filing wedged under one of the legs of your voltage controller chip would have fried the whole card. And no warranty would have left you with nothing but scrap metal.
