Is it fine for my gpu to be held by only one screw?

dawads · April 21

My pc case's screw holes for the gpu have enlargened a bit. I now use the screw used to hold my case's glass becasue the small screws won't fit. Now my gpu is only held by one thumbscrew. my gpu has two holes and under the last hole I fastened the small screw on the my case's third gpu holding screw hole so that if the thumbscrew get's loose my gpu won't really fall off? It's been a couple of days and it's seems fine but I'm worried about the bad day. GPU: RX 590 GME

you can use something under the gpu like a sag bracket or wooden dowel to help hold it. to help prevent that bad day you can remove your gpu before moving your pc.

The RX 590 GME is not a particularly large GPU so its totally fine with 1 screw

Nothing to worry about at all.

As long as you don't shake the system or have earthquakes daily, its all good.
