[SOLVED] New RTX 3070 -- is the sag bad?

[Deleted member 2720853]

Installed a new MSI RTX 3070 Gaming X Trio yesterday. Decided to skip the optional GPU sag mount and the GPU looks like this:

Is this small amount of sag a reason of concern? I really don't wanna install that GPU mount, it's a pain. Thank you.

Also, sorry if this is a stupid question, never really had a GPU THIS large before. Thing's the size of my forearm.

I would advise on installing the anti-sag mount for the GPU given how girthy the card is, and over time that sag will increase.

Since installing that anti-sag mount makes me want to jump out a window I ordered a cheap GPU holder instead.

Personally I wouldn't worry about it. I'd leave it as is. I very much doubt it would cause any issues even after years of use. I have Gainward Phantom RTX 3070 which is marginally smaller than yours, but it's going nowhere while sitting statically in my case.

Well at this point it's bothering me aesthetically so I'll just use one of those adjustable anti-sag mounts instead of the included one

GPU sag: gone.
