Question Recommended support bracket for GPU?

[King_V]

Let me start by saying this:

So, yeah, GPUs are getting larger. And, there was a crack, a moment of weakness, and I bought a Sapphire Nitro+ RX 6700 XT. It's got some heft, though I know there are larger ones. Still, I'd like to do this right.

It's going into a Gigabyte A520M DS3H motherboard. CPU is a 5600X.

I'm thinking that, just for the sake of my peace of mind, that I should get a support of some kind for it, as the idea of it sagging, and putting stress on the PCIe slot, makes me slightly paranoid.

Any recommendations/preferences?

Might want to try this free method first.

Or, like I told another person: stack some legos.
You probably have something around the house you can use.

While I get the concern, id wait until everything is installed and see how it looks.
My Red Devil 6700XT is the largest they make (I think), and it dosent sag.

some recomendations below.

i never recomend ones joined from the back of the pci slot as there usually garbage.




is the a520 the current motherboard you have ( i would recomend b550 so you can fully utilise the 5600x)
as that gives you pci gen 4. and pci gen 4 storage speed.
a520 is pci gen 3
