Graphics Card Sagging

[Its_Juicy]

Hi,
I recently installed a new system with a gigabyte gtx 680 superoverclocked version graphics card. Card works great but only problem I am having is the card sags a lot. Is it bad for the graphics card or the pci express slot for it to sag like this? Here is a pic of inside the system: http://i.imgur.com/p3FmRbl.jpg

I have seen a bracket some where you can buy to add to the end and take some on the weight off where the power is plugged in. You can make one out of an extra pci slot cover.

Hi mate , it shouldn't really be sagging like that...Remove the screws on the brackets and screw them back in and make sure they're screwed in really tight. Should do the trick

I tried adding an adhesive block that was included in the box with the graphics card and retightening the screws, but still experience some sag.

If it's not a LOT of sagging then don't worry about it...if you see that the gpu slot on the mobo is bending or causing tension then easiest solution is to put a book or something underneath it ^_^
