GPU Brace/Anti Sag Device

[Ad_Augendae]

Anybody got any thoughts on Anti-Sag devices for long cards, Asus Strix in particular.
I've seem some on newer cases etc, just concerned over a period the sag may cause fan problems.

Just search on rainforest site for "graphic card brace support", and there should be good amount of results turning up.

I missed those when I was looking, I needed to look past the Leg Braces I like the Horizontal ones but not a big fan of the logo. Not conviced they will keep the card straight either.

chunky felt tip cut to size, cover with vinyl wrap with the color of your choice. pop it below your card towards the end making sure that it doesn't interfere with any fans. you would never even notice it was there. done the same for all of my cards. works every time

no problem, another idea is to have 1 3d printed if you can come up with a design, you can get it printed online.

Lego bricks, pick the colour to match your build, proceed to build a pillar who doesn't like messing with Lego

I can't fathom that. Any pics online so I can understand it?

Just pick a decent case that has the motherboard mounted horizontally e.g. Cooler Master HAF XB.

I know, but it wouldn't survive the trip back and forth to Uni though

You would need a mid-tower case (with shroud) because of the height.. but the idea would work on a Asus Strix GTX 10xx card because you would need to catch the straight/flat bit on the end of the card with the pointy end removed and a slight L shape taken out so It didn't slide into the fan

Zotac 1080ti Amp Extreme, quite hefty to put it mildly, my solution? A cable tie.

I've been taking the weight off with the cables tied up but I need a more sturdy permanent fix tbh.
