Video Card bending down in case

[baylorrulez]

How do i fix my video card to not bend in the case it's screwed in tight but the side that is hanging is on a slight tilt anyone know what causes this?

Do you mean the part of the video card that is towards the inside of the tower? Did you make sure it is inserted into the slot completely?

its just the weight of the card, there’s really no harm as they’re designed to flex.

But if you want, like i did, attach a cable tie from the power connector lead to something near that will help it hang. It doesn’t take much to straighten it. Lucky for me though the connectors were in a position i could use without any chance of anything popping out. Hope you can work out something similar.

yea i assumed it's the weight i'll see what i can do with cable management on Wednesday or sometime around there i'll get back on this thread and tell you how it goes, i need to tidy up my cables anyway

Out of curiosity what kind of Card / Case do you have?

Any pics to give us an idea of how much it is hanging?

thr front of the card should be locked down with a screw or a screwless case bar. the back of the card should be locked in with the pci video slot lock. it should have clicked and locked the card into place.
