Could my fellow card owners tell me if they've ever experienced sagging with this particular gpu? To my understanding the backplate is supposed to not make it sag? Did i retard the installation? :D

OFF TOPIC Does the cpu cooler look slanted as well? I'm super paranoid for some reason today. Loosened it a little bit, there's some wiggle room, like half a mm when you tug on it with your hand.. Never installed such a monstrosity before, i'm scared lol

it looks fine. Just double check to make sure it's firmly in the PCI slot and properly screwed in.

Reseated it again, it wasn't 100% aligned with the case. It never is by default. Anyway, it sags like 4-5mm total.. I've never heard anyone that has a sag with this card, plus my mobo boasts the "titanium reinforcement" on the pci-e... Weird
