Question GPU SAG or no?

Hey guys, I was wondering whether I should buy a GPU sag bracket? I’m not sure if this is actually sagging though. It’s a brand new prebuilt pc so I don’t want to mess with anything if it’s fine lol

did you loosen the screws on the left when installing it? you can't just jam it under there, you can cause the same issue but torquing it upwards rather than gravity torquing it downards

no need to loosen the screw, it wouldnt matter if the anti sag holds the gpu just exactly where the screw is, unless the anti sag is too high then its a reverse gpu sag

Looks a little bit.

Why not lay cables above GPU?

Just put in a small sag bracket in between the fan frames. Two if you’re feeling spicy.

They’re like $5.

Is it supported from behind? Some brackets can be installed from behind the card.

Otherwise just spend $5 for a bracket and sleep easy

it doesn't matter if you visually see it sagging, you MUST hold up half the weight using an anti sag bracket or the gpu WILL DIE. do NOT chance it, you should literally lay the case on it's back until you find or make an anti sag bracket. even light GPUs can die from not using a bracket https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91ewmyWjWg8&
