Hey guys,
Just wondering if anyone has seen failure of a PCIe slot from inserting/removing a video card, etc too many times? I switch back and forth between cards a lot ( several times a week) and I dont want any issues. even though my mobo has 4 of them :p
 
never seen it happen but it would be possible,it would be more likely that you would wear off the platting on the video cards header tho,maybe you should apply a very small amount of dielectric grease or other electronic safe grease to the headers on the cards and wipe away all excess!
