GTX 970 STRIX Droop/Sagging Fix?

JohnManuel

Hey guys,

 

I got a GTX 970 yesterday and the card had a noticeable drop towards the end, not wanting to put strain on anything I concocted this up;

Now it looks like it's being stretched up...or is that just me? Any other ideas?

 

Thanks!

just jokin. You can use a string and tie one end to the card and the other end to the top of your case

you can buy card braces online for not a lot, but they can get a bit pricey. They're generally just an adjustable post you stick under the card that props it up from the bottom of the case.

 

Also, can't see any attachments, :3

I do see a very, very small slant up towards the end, but nothing bad. And, only consider a post if you want a more, long-term solution that what appears to be twine :3

I think I'll move it down a PCI lane and prop something on my power supply
