How dangerous / stupid this is..? GPU riser cable is set on the GPU side, behind the plastic separator


When GPU is inserted, it's resting on the plastic separator, but is not tight too much. I'm just looking at it and wonder how stable that plastic is, since it's touching GPU metal backplate?

@dondan, would appreciate your thoughts on this. I'm planning to finish the build tomorrow evening.

Only reason for doing this is to leave as much free space for the airflow around M.2 SSD mounted on the back of the motherboard (the only such slot on ASRock X570 ITX/TB3). I'm planning to squeeze another 9x14mm Noctua below the mobo, for the same purpose.

It's just there to prevent any shorts from happening with the middle divider (on the off chance your GPU touches it).
