Graphics card sag/support

[pzspah]

Replaced my 1060 today with this and I'm wondering if there's an inexpensive fix to help a little with the sag? (It completely messed up my cablerouting, too wide to allow the cables routing over the top)

zip ties are the cheapest way to do it. loop one through your backplate and use some more to make a chain to the top of your case.

Prop it up with a stick

What about carbon fiber?

An idea for an elegant solution. It may cost you a bit of money but if you have a machinist friend... With the slots in the back of the case behind the video card a bracket could be machined and then anodized a matching color to support the card. If done correctly it would be supported and also pretty much be unnoticeable. You could even do it on the cheap with a lot of hand tool work and a piece of Delrin plastic. Delrin is dyeable and can be drilled and tapped. The choice of case it is in has actuaslly done you a huge favor since there's no cooling loop in it.

edit:

Just realized it won’t work in your itx case.

CF is conductive though so that could get scary.

Those look great, but as you mentioned I'm out of luck with itx.

That could work, but a bit costly. Delrin is a pita to work with though, got to have 3m masks to not breathe in the dust and what not.

Take a chopstick, cut it to size, paint it black (if you want), place it under the GPU to keep it from sagging.

I measured how many I needed and bought €1 worth of red legos
