Could you try putting some sort of support under the GPU to push the back of the card up just slightly higher.?

Sadly I have already tried this and still falls over.

I think unluckily it's beyond saving.

Just ran the GPU tests in OCCT for a couple of hours (card in lower slot) and it passes with flying colours.

So think I'll give it another 24 hours and order up a new motherboard. I'm leaning towards the MSI Z790 gaming plus, very similar to my current boards (need to pick up some DDR5 as well) and a Graphics card prop / bracket as well.

Got to laugh I suppose.

My Zotac 4070Ti came with a support which says it all on the new gpus with the size and weight of them.

I do not really need it but I have added it to the card anyway just to be on the safe side as it was not cheap when I first brought the card back in June 2023

Finally finished re-building my PC round a new MSI Z790 gaming plus and some Corsair 5600MHz memory.
And all "at the moment" seems fine.
So hopefully back to gaming tomorrow! Whoopee..........

PS. Also fitted a GPU support just in case. Though the weird thing is there was no obvious sag, just being paranoid here (it only cost £7.99).
