Do u guys support the gpu from possible sag ?

[Smokey.B]

Or u guys just let it go Au naturale ?

 

[Gymrat76]

Au naturale.. Think these days the PCI-e slot for GPU is reinforced for some boards to prevent this

Heng my mobo is horizontal.
So my gpu works with gravity not fighting against gravity.

 

[koreanlover]

Remember somebody said can buy a stand to support the GPU.

 

[Gymrat76]

Just prop with chopsticks la like scaffolding hahaha

 

[nexusRAGER]

Can get stand to support it.

Can tension PSU cables connecting to GPU to 'hold' the GPU in place, i.e. tighten PSU PCIe cables so that got upward tension to counteract possible downward GPU sag.

 

[mini_cow]

Au naturale. Mine is horizontal and the base plate is screwed to the case anyways (the ports) so I don't think it will sag?

Haha my radiator hose helps to prop my GPU upwards a little but the Lego is also a good idea!

lol that's nice.

 

[Swiftbladez]

I use my psu cable to try support the weight.

 

[yusoffb01]

Support it. It cost money to replace motherboard

 

[royfrosty]

Lol i dont know what is gpu sag when i have my fury X lolol.

LOL.

Would be funny to see a Fury X sag the other way, i.e. being pushed upwards due to tension in WC parts or PCIe cables from PSU.

just buy a gpu support bracket if you are scare

 

[royfrosty]

It depends on which GPU we are talking ba.

GPU sag usually happens when the cooler is too heavy and the card is super long.

When i mention long it means over the PCIe slots and over the Chipset heatsink.

As for Fury X and Nano, their card is just nice after the pcie bracket, but stays in the middle of the chipset heatsink. Nano will be just before the chipset heatsink.

Usually short cards, even i added the WC block (which is relatively heavy), they cant sag, cause the overall rigidness of short cards are simply too sturdy.

Cards that are short wont have sagging gpu.

Long gpus will need something to support it. You can add a chop stick with black spray paint and put it inside to support it. It will be fine and stealth.

Going by the same logic that small boobs won't sag as bad as big boobs especially when aging.... Else need to use good support brassiere before sagging further....

You guys should take a cue from SMRT, use cable tie.

Can use on train track, no reason why it won't work for a graphic card.

The price of a GPU support bracket seem high to me, moreover, it does not suit every casing.
