Description

graphics card

This creation is about a display card.

With the rise of applications such as games in recent years, the demand for high-end graphics cards with strong computing power is increasing. Conventional display cards do not include any support structure, so when the display card is inserted into a slot on the circuit board, the weight of the display card is completely absorbed by the slot.

When using high-end graphics cards with higher power consumption, they are often equipped with a heat sink with a stronger heat dissipation capability. In the absence of support, excessive long-term stress can cause damage to the socket and even further damage the board.

Therefore, how to propose a display card that can solve the above problems is one of the urgently needed efforts.

The present invention proposes a display card having a fixed structure to obtain sufficient support when the display card is fixed to the electronic device casing.

The present invention provides a display card for pluggably connecting an electronic device, and the display card includes a circuit board and a backboard. The back panel includes a cover plate and an extension plate. The cover is covered and fixed to the circuit board. The extension plate is connected to the edge of the cover plate and has There is a fixed structure configuration to be fixed to the casing of the electronic device.

The back panel of the display card of the present case comprises an extension board having a fixed structure configured to be fixed to the electronic device casing. In this way, when the display card is mounted on the electronic device, the casing can provide sufficient supporting force of the display card through the fixing structure, so as to prevent the weight of the display card from completely falling on the slot of the main board of the electronic device and damage the slot.
