Yeah you do. I would suggest getting a GPU brace if possible

it looks like you do have a bit of a sag, nothing to worry about in terms of damage but doesn't look great. Jayztwocents had a nice video about possible fixes of GPU sag.

yeah theres a bit of sag going on there,but shouldnt hurt  anything,its more an aesthetic thing,but maybe in long term it could potentially cause damage to the pcie but most these days have "armor" around them.

You really couldn't take the side panel off for better image clarity?

 

It looks like it's sagging a little like others mentioned, is the screws tight enough? on the short term it's harmless but you never know the damages it could cause to the board or video card pci-e connection in the long run, saying it's 100% fine is inaccurate, there's just not so much of hurry in fixing.

A little, does it matter? Nope

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016
