GPU 780 sag. Fix?

Hello everyone. I've had a 780 for a while now. No issues with it, I've got a fully water cooler loop including the card. But it seems to be sagging. Not dramatically but enough to cause a ugly looking windows view. It's got a water block on the card so that's a little extra support, but also more weight. I saw Linus n7 case review of the latest one, correct me if I'm wrong, but the GPU bracket on the case is pretty much exactly what I need. I've got a nzxt phantom 630, anyone got any ideas? I've tried fishing line and I've tried cable ties. No deal.

A backplate might help, but that's really about it, unless you want to ugly it up.

A ltitle bit of sag isn't going to hurt anything.

 

For the most part all you could do is get a holder or something to raise up the sagging part of the gpu, or get a backplate.
