GPU Sag Question ( GTX 1060 )

[agentagent47]

Hi, i want to know what you guys think about GPU Sag. I just recieve my GPU witch is a Palit GTX 1060 Super Jetstream ( with backplate). When i finish installing the GPU i notice that the GPU is sagging. Can it cause problem ? does it effect performance and cooling ? Will it break the PCI E slot and or the GPU PCI E connector ?

No to everything, if it did, it wouldn't be on the market.

 

It does put strain on the PCI slot but it doesn't usually cause anything, if you're worried about it then get a support bracket or make one.

thx for the quick reply. i reed in this article http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/palit_geforce_gtx_1060_super_jetstream_review,3.html that the GPU will take 75 Watt through th PCI E slot. are you still sure "no to everything" ??

Very seldom does GPU sag cause any significant damage in the long term.

 

That said, if you want to put your mind at ease, you can prop it up with something to ensure GPU sag is as close to minimal as possible.

Yes, I'm sure, its highly unlikely it will cause any problems.

As long as you don't freaking shake your case then you're probably fine.

If you're worried then get one of those GPU support (bar, bracket, brace, stand) or DIY something.

if you're still concerned, cooler master dropped a new accessory called 'Universal VGA Holder' which can hold up to 2 cards at once. they cost like $14.95. or if you're in Europe they sell it on their Europe site too
