Has been hesitating whether to buy the mod or not until I saw this. Looks really good.

Gonna take one more day to cool down and decide if I want to place the order or not.

there's also an Nvidia version available

Hi guys, recently I upgraded to an eVGA 970gtx graphics card and realised that it is sagging slightly at the end of the card away from the PCI slots.

Did some research online and saw this acrylic GPU support brace. Will it work? Anyone try before?

Use bitspower support. http://www.performance-pcs.com/acce...pport-for-vga-black-dual-pci-slot-design.html
this worth your money for any current and future cards.

do not use acrylic bracket, it will snap if you move the casing from one place to another. you might end up buying extras.

Thanks! the bitspower version looks functional, but missing out on the aesthetics/led lights though.

Good to know there are multiple options available. Cheers!

there are other ways too. just buy some strip leds and stick on them. :)
need come up with some ideas.

Ordered this and installed yesterday. Nice and sturdy. The acrylic material is quite thick also. Blink blink

Nice! Can share a pic of your PC after installation of the acrylic support?

Just got mine recently and tested the LED colour options with the remote.

That's why you seldom see reference card have this sagging issue.
