Posted May 19, 2017 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. msi gaming m5 z170, msi gtx 1070 gaming z 8g, I5 6500 cpu, corsair carbide 600c, corsair vengence 32gig Link to comment https://linustechtips.com/topic/781586-gpu-sag-vs-bolster/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 19, 2017 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 Intel i7 6700k|Asus Maximus VIII Hero|Asus Strix 1080|Gskill DDR4 3200|950 Pro M.2|Corsair RM750|Corsair OBSIDIAN 500D|Corsair K65\G65|SteelSeries Arctis 5|Asus PB277Q|PG279Q Link to comment https://linustechtips.com/topic/781586-gpu-sag-vs-bolster/#findComment-9854301 Share on other sites More sharing options...
