Here's a 1.27mm (the closest I could find) Allen Wrench from Home Depot: http://www.homedepot.com/p/Klein-Tools-0-050-in-Long-Arm-Hex-Key-5-Pack-LL2/206377515 BTW - It's listed as 0.50 in., which equals 1.27mm. :-) post edited by 123Testing123 - 2017/04/08 08:14:40 Attached Image(s) #6

I was going to upload a picture of my instruction manual that came with mine but my phone takes to big of pictures so it wont let me attach it #9

It's not big deal if you have a extra Allen key laying about. I installed it fine with a 1070 SC Did anybody else get the incorrect Allen key with this?" so maybe they changed to 1.5mm part way threw and the online manual just still lists 1.3mm? #11

Didn't even bother looking for that allen wrench. maybe the op need to change what type of connectors are on it or changed from a fe to aftermarket card the spacing at the end could be different #16

I have measured this myself against a kit of allen bits and the 1.5mm bit was slightly too big, but the 1.3mm bit fit the bolt on the powerlink perfectly. #17

Can you please send in a photo of your manual showing 1.5mm to Support@EVGA.com so we can forward this to our product team? #20

I also checked this trying both US & metric sized hex wrench sets I have - and the 1.3mm fits nicely.

May not be smart to buy a single when you can just get a kit on amazon or something. like "Stanley 85-753", 8.99 and you'll have both metric and standard. 1080 ftw kaboom -> 1080ftw2 -> 1080ti Hybrid. 93 rx7 w/ ls6 swap, 16 dart limited. #22
