PCI-E card support holder?

[jolly2807]

Perhaps a silly question, but is there such a product capable of supporting a PCI-E GPU card, which plugs into the adjacent PCI slot?

I have the Antec Skeleton and where the card is standing (especially since I replaced the GPU fan with the Accelero Twin Turbo Pro) it is at a slight
angle.

Many Thanks

Do you mean something like the 'card keeper' which i have (was allready installed in a pre-built titan goliath system from overclockers)

or you can get a power jack

Elastic band?

I use one (or multiple really) when moving my comp in the car, just attach it somewhere on the case.

I shouldn't think adding extra stuff to adjacent pci slots would be a very good idea. You want the support to support the card using the case, not the mobo.

With previous cards I've had, I just chopped a pencil to the right size, wrapped it in electrical tape, and used that like the powerjack thingy posted above.

The card keeper is actually very good and does not fix to an adjacent pci slot or back plate but fixes at the same screw as the card.
