GPU Sag Support

[Dephindender]

I am curious what others have found or can suggest for a sag support. Unfortunately the sag support I was given when I originally got my pc was not enough and one of my pcie lanes is damaged to where my card won't work in it. What sag support would be best for a 4090. Either needs to be screwed into a fan hole at the top or been a long brace, around 11~12 inches. A lot of models I found were either far too short or they were just pegs which I don't feel comfortable with.

I prefer the piston type supports.  Like this...

I have looked at that one before. Unfortunately if it's a bottom support it needs to clear almost 280mm. The company put my mobo in upside-down. Why I also looked at one's that tether to fan holes. Didn't find one I would be super comfortable with.

A piece of wood cut to size or stackked lego pieces always work.

 

3d printed pillar if you feeling fancy.

A perfect piece of wood would be a hockey stick

Now I'm no engineer but I think a hockey stick would be too long.

Now that's an idea! Should I use the handle or the blade though... hmm

 

In all seriousness though. I found one that gets a screw hole for a fan hole. It also reaches 11 inches, so it probably barely miss supporting the gpu from the bottom but I can still tether it to the top of the case. Also got into contact with the makers of my pc and they will be sending out a new mobo due to the damaged pcie port. So that's a bonus!
