Asus GTX 770 Sagging

[TheFlyingTraut]

I have seen a few fixes for this, mostly zip tie related, but does anyone have the same problem? The 770 just seems to droop/sag a little too much for my liking. It doesn't seem to effect performance but I'm worried that it is putting too much stress on the PCIe ports. Am I the only one having this issue? It's a brand new card.

Don't worry about it -- GPU sag is very common -- but it's nothing to worry about.

If your really concerned, use some legos to hold it up

 

Even my Asus Strix 970 with a backplate is kind of sagging.

It's a normal thing to happen especially with large after market coolers, it won't really affect anything as long as the heatsinks and thermal pads are making good contact. I suggest running your power cables up on the card to help pull up and hold the card better.

As of right now I have it held up by zip ties. Any other tips for it?

dude its fine. I don't even see any downwards sagging, if anything upwards because of you zipting it. My suggestion was legos.

Yeah it was sagging before I zip'd it.

like said, GPU sagging is perfectly normal. One of my methods when I had one sagging bad was take a peice of small insulated solid core copper wire and tie it to the fan hole on the top of my case then though something on the card such as a heatpipe or a hole in the card.
