I just built my friend a new awesome build yesterday, here's the benchmark:

But the rx 580 has sag even though it's in the steel reinforced PCI E slot. We tried everything from using the power supply cable to lift it a little bit but it seemed to only lift the PCB, not the heatsink and I was afraid it would mess with cooling or have some type of long term damage by constantly ripping the pcb from the cooling. I am not too sure how to fix this problem and it bothers both her and I, so what is a somewhat cheap solution to this problem, and is it recommended that we get it fixed or is it only aesthetic that it gets fixed?

 

Here's a picture of the sag, it's hard to see but I promise you that it's pretty noticeable.

Add some kind of pole or something, that holds the card up.

But sometimes the card is designed to sag, and if you straighten it then the temps go insane, as then the thermal paste comes loose.

So if you get bad temps after straightening it, you know why.

I only see your reply if you @ me.
