Me : Turns case horizontal. Problem solved 🤣🤣🤣
😂
Yup same here. Sometimes you gotta think outside the box and flip it 😆
Not enough room for me to do that 🥵
The part of the card that sags is the outer tail, where the power cables typically attach. So that's where the sag should be addressed. The way I do it is arguably a bit janky, but it does exactly what the GPU jack demonstrated here does. I use the empty barrel of an expired ball-point stick pen, cut a few millimeters too short (measured with the card in the desired, non-saggy position) with a self-stick silicone bumper on each end. Just wedge it it between the corner of the card between the fan shroud and the case floor or basement roof. You could also buy a 3/8" or so wooden dowel rod (finished as suits your build) and cut a piece to the right length. The advantages of this method are simple: it's very effective, and it's dirt cheap.
@TechLabUK
i would never under any circumstance push the gpu UP at the right most edge
this will not only push up the whole gpu/pcb it will also twist it and all the stress will be going directly under the gpu die, the risk of killing a gpu with that is just way to high.
9:58 My apologies for correcting you but with the coolermaster vertical mount shown, the lateral adjustment is not so you can move it more toward the center of the case for the sake of appearance... That mount is made for case where the the I/O slots on the rear of the case, have the divider strips in between each slot and that lateral adjustment is so you can move inward for the purpose of fitting your video cable and giving it clearance. Users should after fitting there video cables, slide the video card back to the left as much as possible without having the cable contact the case frame. Some cases have the divider strips cut out as it was in the case shown in the video. However, i bought one of the brackets for my my Corsair 4000D air because the strips were not cut out of that area. 10:29 The coolermaster vertical mount shown is made so you don't have to cut those bars out.
Thanks for the clarification 👍 makes backets like that even more useful. Didn't even pay that much for that one either as it was on sale 😃
The Asus TUF Gaming cards are especially prone to this. My RTX 3060 model is huge considering how "weak" the chip actually is.
It’s pretty nuts how bad they are for the cost of GPUs now. They should all be as solid as the Radeon reference cards really.
I use provided MSI support bracket with vertical Cooler Master ARGB in tandem. You have to be sure.... and it actually looks pretty cool.
Original PCs (1980-1995) laid horizontally. Inline with gravity.
I feel it is just time to move to vertical mount as the standard with some universal case fitment. There isn't a whole lot of reason to avoid it any more, it's not like there's a lack of room in cases given most people will run a GPU and at most 1 extra expansion card these days.
Obviously not suitable for all cases but for most it would work fine. It's not like I can see GPUs getting any smaller and lighter, there's a lot of advantage to extremely over-built cooling systems and on balance I think it's worth it.
So there is always case design like the TT tower design where the gpu is always vertical but I chose a cooler master vertical mount and been very pleased with the results
I have one of them Phanteks vertical mounts in a Meshify 2, works well and looks great 👍
The Phanteks ones are really good quality tbh. Simple design that just works.
THIS IS A WERY BAD WAY TO FIX GPU SAG..turns out this actually cant twist the wole card and rips the soldering under the die..Gpu fixers all over are reporting on this now.
Vertical mount is the only way to go
Isn't he actually using vertical mounts at the end? Or by vertical mount do you mean when the card runs from the top of the case to the bottom?
@@zombizombi yes he does👍
My Asrock Extreme Z690 came with a board-mounted anti-sag arm, but I'm a vert-mounter...it's the thought that counts..😉
That's really cool tbh. Vertical mounting has always been the go to for me :)
Thermaltake CTE, solves all this
Buy a case which has GPU riser.
Vertical mount....the best thing since sliced bread....
This is true 👆
