Video Card Mounted Correctly?

[clueless404]

Hi guys, I am a new computer builder. I am concerned about my video card's mounting. I believe I mounted it correctly (I used screws, made sure everything was plugged in, etc.), but am concerned if it is falling out. I know it is a stupid question, but I'd still like some reassurance. The computer is performing perfectly, but looking through the side panel window I see the video card is not completely horizontal. Is it okay if the GPU is leaning to the right a bit? I'd estimate 10-20 degrees. Thank you for the help! I really appreciate it.

If everything is working it should be ok. Some heavier gpu's get a bit of a lean, the Devil 13 R9 295X2 even comes with a stand to help prop it up.

Its not unusual for graphics card to be slightly bent under their own weight, particularly if it has a beefy cooler. Its fine, just a symptom that the PCIe form factor was never intended for any hardware that would require significant cooling.

The only thing to do at this moment would be to check if you can find a backplate for your GPU, and mount it on.
This should help stiffen up the card, and remove most on the bending.

Thanks for the help everyone! I can't find anything to prop it up, but it is running alright, and if anything goes wrong I know how to fix it. I just wanted to make sure it was alright to be running, etc. Thanks again!
