Asus GTX970 weight

Nem · October 27, 2014

I've had my 970 installed for a while now and it appears to be really heavy. It doesnt sit horizontally in the case and it sags a bit. How much strain is this going to put on my pci-e slot and is there anything I can do to alleviate this? I assume its normal and nothing to worry about but wanted to check anyway

I have had that happen with multiple video cards and at times it can be an annoyance but I have not had a mobo get damaged because of it. I do hate though when the card falls so low that the HDMI connection on the card can't connect to my HDMI cable I am trying to attach to the card again.
