GPU Sag solutions

[Brandon9997]

Hey guys i recently bought a tuf 3080 and noticed that it's sagging, i know it's bad (although i dont know exactly why) but i dont have a gpu bracket rn so i thought of folding a paper combined with a charging brick to put at the end of the gpu to prevent sagging. 

 

is a charging brick as an anti sag bad and should I look for other stuff to use? or i can use this for the meantime. here's a pic of it

If you have some spare LEGOS laying around...build a column to support the end of the graphics card. Otherwise, there are third party products that support the GPU.

unfortunately i dont have any legos around and im planning to buy a bracket soon, is this fine as a placeholder gpu bracket? will the charging brick cause any issue or will it be fine?

No you'll be fine using the charging brick around (other than not using it for charging haha). It'll be fine until you get the bracket. Just make sure you remove the charging brick IF you are moving the PC around to prevent having a mass being knocked around in the case during transport.

Cool! thank you for this! ill be sticking with this charging brick untill im able to get a bracket. BTW what gpu bracket can u recommend to buy, a vertical one or an L one and can you name a brand or link an item if you have a suggestion? thank you!

Not the greatest idea to do, i would just get something cheaper that works fine
