Does your GPU sag?

Does your GPU sag? Curious as to what people used to combat a sagging GPU. Most creative Idea I saw yet was a lego guy on a small tower. Here's mine.

Every GPU sags...

 

You can't violate the laws of physics. That's why people come up with those crazy ghetto solutions in the first place, to try and please physics a bit better.

If your gpu is horizontal true, mine's verticle so it doesn't

Mine has minimal sag. 

 

Gently pushing upward on the card as you insert the screws into the expansion slots helps.

Yes. The 2 part aluminium faceplate + that heavy copper cooler makes my 980 ti sag alot. Same for my msi 280x. But my powercolor 390x didnt.

 

Twist tie to the hdd cage takes care of that.

Also, unlike Mario. You will notice it is in fact the head that is keeping the GPU up.

Where on the GPU are you able to get a tie around?  I thought to try using a zip tie on my MSI GTX 970 but I wasn't sure where to run it through on the card.

It's bending of a GPU.  That's bad I'm pretty sure.

Interesting solution.  Stealing from your son is wrong though.  In theory.  lol

It's more obvious in person.  The amount of sagging will vary depending on the weight and design of a card.  Some will sag more than others.

Loop the zip ties around your power connectors. I'll link a pic when i can.

Ah.  That's safe?  I mean it doesn't risk loosening the power connectors does it?  

 

A picture would be much appreciated thank you.
