GPU support bracket? Good idea..

C6ckneyGeezer · 14 Jul 2016 at 21:36

I have recently came across this;

It screws in the PCI bracket on your case below your GPU and supports the far corner of the card to prevent sag.

Anybody know where you can get one in the UK? Can't even find anything on eBay. Which suprised me!

Seems like a great idea and Im suprised OCUK don't stock or even produce their own poduct. Im sure they would sell like hot cakes at a sensible price £15 or there abouts? Pretty much every big GPU now days will sag, so seems a no brainer?

Oh....OCUK if you do indeed take this idea up, I like Haribo

Have a look on Esty mate.

Coldzero sells them and posts to the uk.

Looks like you need to deploy the old Lego man to help your graphics card:

Powercolor used to sell a "jack" that would prop up your card.

I was a bit worried with my new Windforce X2 1070 with not having a backplate. Need not worry the actual weight of cooler design (shroud being plastic) will not cause droop like it does on these solid metal 3 slot design beasts (zotac extreme for one).

I stopped my gpu sagging with 2 elastic bands attaching it to the top of the case.

I thought using an inverted ATX case might stop my graphics card sagging, but now it sags up instead of down.

I cable tied the two power cables in my 290x to a part of my case to lift it up and stop it from sagging.

ITX is the way to go, most cases in that category have the motherboard flat down and you don't have to worry about the graphics card dropping down.

It was a joke. An upside-down case doesn't generate anti-gravity.

Lego bricks, or Technic if you want to get fancy.

I have used zip ties in the past by attaching to the top of the case

I'll stick to custom made legos, that thing doesn't look any better anyway.

My Powercolor Jack..

Not sure if they're available anymore.. bought mine about 4 years ago.

Oops, I thought you meant that it was still sagging, just the other way round.

I went the other way:

It's a bit more flexible for me since i'm going 1080 SLI and I don't need a bracket running across from the back of the case in my setup.

I was after one around that time and discovered they had gone EOL already. :mad:
