980 ti sagging

[Closing]

So I just built my PC, thank you overclockers even if it was delivered a day late, and the GPU is sagging. Not to an extreme but enough to concern me, I don't know if this is going to become a problem in the future i.e damage the mobo.

Any ideas how to address this, does your gpu sag if so what have you done about it? obviously propping it up with something or zip tieing it to the case roof is unsightly..

Can you take a picture?

Nowadays I try to buy gpus with back plates to stop this happening.

Google "coldzero", they do back plates which should help a fair bit with GPU sag.

It still happens even with the Backplate sometimes!


This is what I had to do for a HoF, the G1 doesn't sag at all though.

It happens with most big and heavy cards. I dealt with mine by threading my pcie cables through the rubber grommet above the card, and then pulled it tightly through the back of my case and into the psu. It should stop the card from further drooping.

Mine's maybe 2 months old and sags a fair bit.

+1. although the open air doesn't really help you (you benching show off you). my x9 is a beautiful case love it.

However, there is still some bend in the card, not sure if this is just a result of it being hung for too long.

Tie wraps or home made stand or do what other poster said and use psu cables to pull it up

Use some Lego 4's to make a tower support or just cut down a pencil or something, I'm the guy who uses bluetak to hold his SSD drives in their tray. Works for me.
