[SOLVED] Will this damage my GPU?

[max13]

I have RX5700XT Gigabyte. The card was too big that when I put it on. The card was sagging.
I was afraid that I was gonna damage my GPU.

So I came up with some solution. Tied it up with some pieces of fabric.

Its not sagging anymore but i'm kind of afraid tied up the card like this will damage it somehow?

Don't attach it to the cables. You're putting the weight of the sag on the PCIe connectors. I think that's the worst spot. Well a worst spot would be attaching it to a blade of the fan on the GPU.

What can I do?

You can put something under the card. People have been creative with this. Like putting a figurine that touch the corner of the gpu creating an anti-sag figurine. Use something plastic at a good height to remove the sag and keep the GPU up.

Pulling on the connectors could eventually break them so if you are willing to spend a few bucks on a much better and more practical solution that won't hurt anything, then this is your best bet:

If you like it, more power to you.
I'm an anti-rainbow guy; performance first, aesthetics... 'meh'.
