PCI-e Clip Broken

[Veniam]

A few days ago the little clip on the PCI-e port holding in my graphics card broke off. Is it safe to have my computer standing how it would be normally, or should I turn it on its side or something.

It's fine, just make sure you tighten the screws holding it into the PCIe bracket well.

to be honest that clip isnt really needed, just make sure its screwed in.

The clip is more for when you are transporting the case, then when its stationary.

So just take care when you move the case and your fine.

It should be fine. I had it happen to me recently on my test PC, and the card is still held securely. As stated above, just make sure it's screwed into the case, but you should be doing that anyway.

just screw it in very tight you should be fine that clip is just a piece of plastic for a little bit of support. If you can put your MB on the bottom, not the side to help the GPU, but you shouldn't sweat
