PCI-e support

[P4Clock]

What is the best PCI-e support bracket type thing
my screwdriver/zip-tie works but well.... not the best it is
the Windforce is a big ass cooler and it looks to pull on the socket

Is this really a legitimate concern? I've just never heard of anyone talking about card problems from a bent PCIe card.

Card brake. solder points brack as cards bend. pcie slots can be damaged.
if you card is heavy and you run it under load for a long time then yes it can be a legitimate concern

my card as about a 1cm drop on the none supported side and its a weeks old that is from twisting

I'll keep this in mind, then.
