[SOLVED] Airflow and GPU SAG

[anonymous890]

1. So I just got my ryzen 5 2600 together with asus rog strix b450-f mobo. There's this cool RGB logo on the upper right side, but it's being covered by my exhaust fan, since the rgb logo is basically near the rear of the case. Can I just transfer my exhaust from rear to top? would it affect the airflow that much?

2. I've also been getting GPU sag, even before i got my new cpu and mobo. I was an i7-4790 and z97 user, since then my gpu has been sagging. The GPU is a little bended due to sagging before. Now I've finally thought of fixing the sag by making a DIY engineered anti sagging with cable ties lol. So if I finally fix the sag, then it means im gonna bend the gpu pcb again right? is this alright for the GPU and the PCIE slot?

Hi, I'm not an expert and i'm not gonna pretend to be able to answer your fan question other than to say that fans are most efficient in line and can technically move less when pushing upwards. I have no idea how much effect this has or if it is even measurable.

However when it comes to gpu sag I saw a video that changed my life forever on youtube. If you look at the back of your card where the inputs are you'll notice a "fork" that usually slides between two slots in the back of your case. There will be some play in this with a decent sized gap either side. If you can access the back of the case where these holes are while your gpu is plugged in then you can use a small screw to fill the gap so that this fork can't move up and down. This will keep the card from sagging. It worked so well for me that I gave away my card bracket since it was just ugly and in the way.
