sapphire 5830 bending

[chaotic_uk]

last week i given (gift from parents) the sapphire 5830 to crossfire it with the 5830 i already had , today i install some new case fans and noticed the rear of the gfx card looks like it is bending down at the rear of the card where the power cables fit . is this a common problem ? , will it damage the card ? . the pcb seems weak to me and i am worried it may cause problems in the future



i have measured it to the bottom of the case .
pcb is 157mm from the bottom of the case near the crossfire connectors , the rear is 153mm to the bottom of the case . also the pcb seems thinner on the sapphire card compaired to the powercolor card , if i put something to prop it up the pcb on the end rises but the end of the cooler does not

I've had this problem in the past with another brand, I just used a piece of card to support the pcb. Not pretty but then, I never was bothered about how my case looked inside.

seems the pcb is better on the powercolor 5830 even though it was cheaper than the sapphire 5830 , i may just sell the sapphire and get another powercolor tbh . looks better anyways lol

I was expecting something severe, that looks fine.

Cable tie power connectors to card 1's connectors for extra support
