  1. 1. how do people feel about buying a bolster for gpu sag?

    • no need to buy. gpu sag breaking mobos isnt that big of a problem.

    • yes buy. gpu sag wrecks yo sh*t

today i recieved my msi bolster for my msi gtx 1070 gaming z. i bought it because i noticed that my 1070 was saging a bit and was worried about gpu sag. ive seen vids about how they can damage your mobo but i never see anyone really using a bolster so i was wondering what your thoughts were everyone.

I built a small custom mount to hold the right side of the card up but the only reason was aesthetics. I didnt like the card not sitting level. If you dont move your computer around a lot there shouldnt be an issue IMO
