It's $650 for RX 6800 XT and $580 for RX 6800. But I'd still recommend waiting for custom cards. Cooling design on them will be better.
Hi,
I have a problem:
I just wanted to install a new motherboard but when I tried to install the m.2 ssd this screw suddenly decided to mimick some Cyberpunk-bug.
Does anyone have an idea how to fix it?

The motherboard has an additional backplate, so I would need to drill a hole if I want to attach a longer screw. I also don't have a screw that has a fitting thread (see second foto), nor do I have a female screw for it...
Cheers
Great ideas! Thank you. I'll give it a try when I'm back home. / yes it still got warranty, but I really want to use the PC now...
Trouble here is that any fastener with an imperfect fit is likely to allow weird vibrations...which sort of defeats the whole purpose of the brace to begin with.
My first thought would be finding a narrow enough bolt of the right diameter, then sawing it down. A non-conductive putty of some sort may create a snug enough fit. And you'd need to ensure the bolt wasn't touching any other metal in the case besides the backplate. (And you'd likely still have to drill the hole in the brace to make it fit.)
Maybe you could rig something up with sturdy, plastic ties or insulated wire. Thread it through the holes and create a sort of "tourniquet" behind the brace to cinch it tightly enough. Although, I can't quite tell from the pictures if the hole is close enough to the edge of the mobo for that to be realistic. Obviously, the ties can't be touching and pushing pressure on any of the components of the mobo itself.
Ideally...that should be a faulty product / warranty issue. It's pretty important for a mobo to be securely placed. Can you exchange it?
Thanks again. I was able to remove the back plate without destroying any of the thermal pads. I've cut a piece out of a slot cover and used it as a punch disc [edit: washer], in order to attach a second bolt from the back. luckily they are short enough to not push each other out of that thread. The bolt on the top side is attached with less tension. I think it will work.
