GPU Sag

[KevinBeta]

Hello people of ze internetz.

So my GPU is saging a little, or with other words, it isn't straight. It isn't much to the point I think it will damage anything, but I'm looking for some way of supporting it.

My components are: NZXT H440, Evga GTX 1070 FTW edition and an Asus Z170-A motherboard.

Now, I have seen extension slot supports that you can buy but I dont think they look very nice, I want somthing that i can put on the end of the gpu, aka where you plug in the cables. And I dont really care how it looks if the product is ugly or if anyone has a DIY sulution because I have my cables (white extensions) comming up from the PSU compartment that will hide anything i put behind it.

I made a small bracket and covered it with power cables and put zip ties. stops the sag and looks good.

Well I couldn't find any that go at the very end of the card but you could get something like these:

Which I think both look pretty stylish. Or you could be creative like this guy:

 

 

Or just straight zip tie it like this person:

This looks so cool

Also, how is your 1070 FTW sagging already? I've had my 1070 SC for about 2 1/2 months and there is zero sag.

My computer has a retention bracket if you want something like that. Not all case support since this is a pre built

I don't have time to open the case but this is how it looks

 

  

There is a bracket there that holds the gpu

thank for all suggestions!  and to awnser Gamessys, it just natural that it sags a little because its a heavy card, and if i support it right away i can stop any future damage and/or ocd triggering looks

Its a nice mod. I just got some metal and bend the two ends as feet. Measure twice cut once.

 

I know there wont be any damage from the sag because its brand new and I dont move it...I mostly like the aesthetic of a straight card.
