Hey all. I never realized how long my GPU's are until now when I decide I want the reservoir to be shown in my build. My question is mostly asking about stability/rigidness.

If I cut 20mm or so off of the left side of that bracket, where it curves inward, basically getting next to the res, do you think the rigidness of the bracket will still be intact? Can't tell if it's aluminum or metal lol I'm not an expert with that.

How thick is it, if it's like 2-3mm no worry but if it's something like side panel thickness, around 18 gauge, I would reinforce it just to prevent bending, as for material just use a magnet, the magnets won't stick to aluminum.

Doh! Should've thought about that. Ok yea it's a few milimeters, It does feel really really solid anyway. Thanks friend

Take your time cutting, just be sure to have some touch-up paint to repaint the edge or either paint to respray the part. to match completely.
