GTX 770 bending

[TheMagicalWallaby]

My (reference design) 770 is bending toward the front and the side and I don't know why. It really bothers me and I got this card in January. What should I do? And do not say put a stick in their to support it.

Can you post some pics of it?

If the PCB is still liner (or not too bent) It should be fine.

Either let it bend or fit something into the case to support it.

Tell me if you need a better picture. In the second picture, you can see that it kinda blocks a PCI-e slot.

MAKE SURE you look at the second image, it is more accurate.

I used a piece of black paracord to support my card, but not really necessary, just gives me piece of mind seeing it level.

Thats not even close to bending, just sagging. Remember its only being held up by the back and side, magic isn't going to keep the nose up.

Yeah, that's pretty damn straight if you ask me. Only reason I supported mine was because of the massive heatsinks and fans Asus put on but for that card, it's TOTALLY fine.

Yeah thats fine, the PCB is at a slant, not bent. My card only stays level because of my EVGA backplate that came with it.

wanna know the easy way to straighten it out?

Right now you have the power cords to it coming up from the bottom and plugging into it. Just run them so they come out above the car, then zip tie them to the case so they have just enough tension to keep the front of the card from sagging. Not too tight though, just so that if you hold the card straight, the cords are barely tight, but if you let go of the card, it holds it in place.
