Backplate Necessary? | MSI GTX 970 | Hanging

[DutchMike]

Howdy great peeps,

Build me an entirely new build today,
but what worries me a bit is the MSI GTX 970 Gaming G4.

The card is inserted correctly into the motherboard & screwed,
however the end part hangs a LOT down...

Is this any cause for concern?

Much greetings,
Mike

Can you take a picture?
Most cards do flex quite a bit, but sometimes it does get to be too much.

Howdy,

Never mind, it did hang a bit but nowhere near as some others I've seen now.
I fixed it by putting a black 'zip?' on it. It seemed the direction the power cable was coming from,
was pushing it down more - so I 'zipped' it to the water cooler tubes.

You can see it on the top right (direct link http://i.imgur.com/7wZtQPX.jpg):

If it works, it works haha
That card looks relatively level now, just make sure you dont pull on those h100i tubes too much (which it shouldnt)
