[alek]

 Just got another 670 from asus and its bending down at the end and i was wondering if its bad for this to happen. other than the lean its working fine. my other 670 form evga dosnt do this so i have nothing to compare it to

Beware the Asus sag...

 

 

You can always do what I do and DIY fishing wire on the power connectors. Avoid the heatskink, it'll melt.

its called ASUS sag its common for the ASUS cards to do that its a beefy cooler 

[ERSCreeper]

Should be fine unless the system gets shaken around.

[TechSage]

It's not normal, that will cause additional strain on the PCI express, how much is it bending?

That term was totally mines to start.

funny they use it on the ROG and ASUS forums all the time...

[EpicGeekonFire]

This is why I buy EVGA the ones with backplates. Always liked rigid structures... 

[ciprian97pop]

I would like to see a picture

[Deeko]

it will be fine, my GTX670 from ASUS had been in the rig for over a year and no problems.

Yeah, I've never understood branded forums. You're either

A: There for tech support

or

B: Fanboying

I've heard of people taking a piece of wood and cutting it to the right size so that it props the graphics card up by fitting in between the bottom of the graphics card and the bottom of the case.

Who isn't an ASUS fanboy though?

Who isn't an ASUS fanboy though?

i'm not. I would take Gigabyte over Asus.

[Mcdoorknob]

I have an Asus 280x DCUII triple slot cooler and it has zero sag. Perfectly straight

[SlaughterSmurf]

Just cut a stick and rest it under the cooler or something to give it extra support, that's what I did a while back.

It should be fine imo as long as the PCI-E screws are secure. But I would remove this card if you are planning to move the system. How much is it sagging (possible to provide a picture)?
