So, my 980 Hall of Fame is saging real bad.

Just wondering what could go wrong, and if it's damaging.

Cheers.

Worst case: PCIE connector breaks. That's a very rare thing to happen though, as long as you have the screws on the bracket screwed in tightly. You could make some ghetto fix by attaching something to the drive cages on the H440 to prop the card up. Should be fine though.

zip/cable ties from the cards cables to somewhere else on your case, just try to take some of the slack out.

Mine is sagging by the same amount and I've never had issues with it. You should be fine.

Damn, how did you install it? I install mine laying down in the floor and make sure the screws are in tight
