My new Card arrives this afternoon, its an asus 1060 STRIX O6G and it should with some persuasion fit in my C70, if not i can move the hard drive case down. But because of the massive length i am worried about the sag and whilst i know it doesnt damage the card ata all its mainly the uneat OCD part of mew kicking in that needs it to be straight and not sagging. Im not to open to 3rd party soloutions as they are quite rare here so i'd like to know what people around have been doing against this. I had an idea ill test later to use the PCI expansion slot covers and prop them up along the gpu or sumthing after some light bending and such. Let me know what you guys think or have donr. THX :D

 

PS: on a random note what does tl;dr Mean?
