I tied it to the top of the case with a thin piece of black string.

My new triple-fan graphics card is sagging and it's slightly lower on the right side even though it has a backplate. I've been looking around my home and the best thing I could find was the cylinder from toilet paper rolls. I want to use this but I am not sure since my GPU gets hot and could probably melt the thin cardboard cylinder. Any other objects that are great for GPU sag supports? By the way I don't have Legos I know a Lego tower is the best solution lol.

I use one of these.... it helps support the end instead of just torquing it more so it's higher.

Have done this with fans in mid air to force more air into the cpu cooler lol, string seems to work for everything.

String will not melt from heat?

People use string to tie meat together in an oven and bake it at over 150C. If your PC is getting that hot you have a serious problem.
