Strix 1080TI sag

[Kurography]

Hello community ^^

 

I was watching a YouTube video about a PC build and the guy mentioned something about his GPU sagging and so I did a little research on the internet what that means. I found various forums where people had the same problem and they posted fotos about it and asked how bad their sag was and if they had to do something about it. Now I´m kind of worried about my little sag (because let´s be real, the Strix 1080Ti is one hell of a card) and before something happens I just want to be sure what to do.

 

I´ll attach some pics and a video 

 

Thanks for any answers ^^

Same with 1060 strix, every time I look at it I monkaS

the sag has zero effect on anything

it's a static object sitting on a desk , not a car. the gpu isn't going to shake itself loose

Ehh, it's there but it's not the worst in the world. I see a lot of people do tons of things. Things I have seen include:

 

Using a Funko Pop for style and use

Using a nail file to prop it up

 

Uhh actually that's kind of the two main things. Prop it up with something that can add style. Or just find something that will push it up a little. 

Just remember not to have something push too much force up =]

You could get a stack of legos and put it under to support it if you want or some other object

A free way to support it is to connect the PCI-e power cables from the top and pull it taut so that the cables are slightly pulling the GPU up. It's up to you if it is aesthetically pleasing.

Are you saying I should prop it up because it could damage the card or because it´s just not so nice to see?

Just so it's nice to see, the card should be fine with a bit of sag.

its actually not that bad and wont harm the gpu. jayztwocents has a great video about it
its jus aesthetics at this point:

Just so it's nice to see. As Emosun said, it won't fall out or anything. It won't cause any damage either. Some people are just weary of things like the slots being pushed down or simply just an aesthetic thing. 

 

you don't "need" to "fix" anything, it's just personal preference of what you like to see.

Put a water block on it. Like a real pc, or so they say.
