zotac New Gpu slight sag

[Tech Reprise]

Is this a okay level of sag for a dual fan gpu with 3x heatpipes and a beefy heatsink?

Seems barely noticeable to me

If i keep a straight edge on the pcb then its bent approx 2-3mm near the pci power connector end

For the most part it's fine 

If you want to decrease the sag just wire the connector from the top

they all are, i think jayz2cent found a fix, put a thin paper or something around the bottom lips of the plate you mount the screws on. that's where the sag is, in the play on the bottowm lips of that bracket. if you manage to tighten that area it would look better.

I was just about to mention Jay's solution to this ^^

How does it look now? 

I loosened the screws that hold the gpu bracket with the case and its now at a 1.5mm sag which seems unnoticeable to the naked eye.

Previously I had the gpu mounting bracket pushed all the way up so the mount was at a higher place than the socket level maybe.

looks good. GPU's have 3 points to slack, screw side of the bracket, lip side, and PCIE slot.. if you put some paper with glue on it.. ripped off post-it notes or something or tape, it would have even less droop.  the slack around the lip is usually due to cheap engineering lip slots in the case are a few micrometer too large.

Also i just benched my card and the memory clocks showup as 7001MHz, do i need to multiply it by two to get the effective speed?
