It's not what you think it is.
I got the bracket and was dumbfounded that EVGA wouldn't provide a list or any further info on how this bracket is actually used in a case for support. Makes them look stupid IMO
I was too, even worse when I called support and they didn't even know or have a list... not sure why they even included it, but it is what it is I guess.
Your attention to detail in these kinds of operations is admirable. Some times it just takes a little hand holding to give one the courage and ease of mind to get through this, much appreciated!
That bracket is intended for more off-the-shelf workstation type cases (think Dell/HP/etc). Brackets like that come pre-installed or integrated into the design of most workstation-class graphics cards and the chassis generally has a way to mount it in-place. If you notice, the bracket has a very enterprise/industrial look to it, much like the inside of a server or workstation where aesthetics is not a concideration.
Its cheaper and mostly invisble to tie a knot in some clear fishing line after threading it through a gfx card screw hole and tie it off at the top of the case. It won't fall off, like the MSVDSGF.
You are right but it won't be as functional is you need to move around a lot in your PC, the stand works great and doesn't fall, unless you are moving around a lot in your PC, which you can just move it for the time being.
Yeah I got this card today and also have that case and it just dawned on my how tight of a fit it was going to be! Glad to see you can still manage to get it in there.
yeah, after a little while, like now for me, the cables have been trained and it slides in a lot easier. Now, I can literally slide the side panel on and off without having to force it in.
Great content, but I feel like this video was for everything but the EVGA bracket lol, is it safe to bend any PCIE cable from other PSU brands? Been thinking to put my GPU vertically instead, that way the PCIE would be less forced.
The entire "Safe to bend" thing started with the 16 pin cable, it never existed before, I've been building for over 25 years (it was my job for over 10 years), its never been an issue. Vertical cards potentially get hotter, they are pushed VERY close to the glass unless of course, you remove the panel, like you have to do with the Y60, then you have to worry about the riser being subpar, which causes a TON of issues. As for the everything but, I guess you didn't watch it, because I showed you how you could use it, but as I mentioned in the video, EVGA themselves told me that it was made for a VERY small segment of people since it would fit a VERY small niche of cases, the MHQJRH bracket takes care of it.
Always a pleasure my friend, so very happy you stopped by, checked out my video, liked and subbed as well as took a moment out of your day to thank me. It means a ton to me. As for the pronunciation hahaha, I couldn't figure out any other way hahah.
If you know someone with a 3d printer, have them design an upper case letter L for you. You will be drilling holes in the bottom of the L to match the anti-sag bracket (or 2 screw holes already on other cards). The L will sit in your case at the end of the card but rotated 180 degrees so that the thin part extends to the bottom of your case near the motherboard and 2 screws will go into the bracket holes. Bonus points if you have a countersink bit. It will be near invisible and with proper measurements... extremely effective. Edit: BTW, if you do go with the $15 support (which I do have one that has to be sent back now)... take a look at the ones with magnetic bases. Moving the case can cause the gpu to bounce a little and the non-magnetic stand will just fall over onto/into stuff.
Sadly I don't have a 3D Printer, and not many do but with that even if I did I wanted to provide a solution best for all, this $13 solution in this video is adjustable, black anodized aluminum, has soft rubberized pads for your card and the base to sit on to not scratch the card or your case and also has a magnetized base, everything you could ask for, cheaper than what you mentioned too ;) But yeah, life would be easier if we all had 3DPrinter. I am trying to get one to review, have been approached by 3 different companies, but after I give them my address to ship.... they disappear... awesome aint it ;)
@@ThisBytesForYou Just an fyi, many libraries have 3d printers available for public use. They are also prevalent at the middle school through college level institutions for those with kids or attending themselves. For those that fit the availability above, it is all free including the used filament. Like anything, it generally takes more work to DIY than just to pay amazon. Just offering more solutions... which shouldn't be a bad thing.
@@easyperl no, not taken bad at all, and I love the input, though it may sound like I did not. Myself I didn't know the library offered these kind of services, which is pretty awesome but I may take that into account for later. I want to give people an instant solution here though, or at least relatively instant but again, I do thank you for the input.

It means a ton to me and I am so very happy I could help you. You might like this one too, about different brackets : ruclips.net/video/hyEJz56yg24/видео.html
There's nothing more I could do with the bracket, it's not compatible with my case, so I had to use the alternate one I bought. I might be able to get it to work if I mod the case, it's not worth it really.
Always a pleasure my friend, so very happy you stopped by, trusted in me to help you, liked and subbed as well as took a moment out of your day to thank me. It means a ton to me and I am so very happy I could help you. I love this sag bracket, I bought like 5 more afterwards haha, its soooo simple, it just works. I am so happy I could help you my friend.
I know I'm coming late to the party for this GPU but hey the prices are actually nicer so I got one. I heard about the sag but you did a good job showing it. Absolutely getting the stand now! 💯
Always a pleasure my friend, so very happy you stopped by, trusted in me to help you, liked and subbed as well as took a moment out of your day to thank me. It means a ton to me and I am so very happy I could help you. Still using this card on my workstation, such a great card, you will love it.
Well, yes and no. The sag could potentially block some air flow, but the reason for the bracket is to protect the PCIE slot from being ripped out, potentially bending pins, breaking traces both on the card and motherboard and just making the system look nicer. Always a pleasure my friend, so very happy I could help you my frien.
Thanks for the explanation! Let me ask you... This card is still working perfectly? Did you tried playing old games or light games on it? Cause a lot of EVGA 3090 and 3080 are dying or going black screen (before dying) when people are playing League of Legends or Halo... Since you have it since september, I wonder if it's still running fine and if you found any problems. Thanks!
working perfectly, that issue happened when the cards came out, quite some time back, since then there have been plenty of fixes in there, so you are good my friend and this card is amazing. Thanks so much for stopping by, checking out my video, liking and subbing and commenting, it means the world to me.
@@ThisBytesForYou thanks a lot for such a quick reply! Mine arrived today and I'm so worried about all those rma posts on evga forum! Haha! Very good to know yours is all good and kicking! :D
yes, make sure to install EVGA precision X1 as well, it will update the firmware on the card. Always happy to help my friend ;) And congrats, you will love it
Drill two holes in that bracket block and fasten to the bracket that came to the card. Bonus points for spray painting the card bracket Black! Cause Black is Beautiful!
Hey, I know it's a stupid question but I want to know. In 6:07 you adjust the gpu several times which makes the gpu up and down several times. Is that will affected the perfomance? I mean because the GPU copper will scratch.
@@ThisBytesForYou Wow that's cool! I'm glad to have this card. And one more thing, I'm quite often moving from one country to another nowadays and bring my PC in my car with me. I'm packed the pc with foam all over it to make sure it's safe. But sometimes in the road there's some small turbulance, so is it will affected the GPU? I mean, will it break?
that will affect your PC for sure, parts getting knocked loose and such, I would recommend a laptop, desktops are not meant for this sort of travel but if you have to travel with your pc, I recommend buying lots of these, they will help you tons: geni.us/vtAGF8t, this is my global Amazon affiliate ink
@@ThisBytesForYou Thanks! I'm gonna buy it. But I'm courious about the capability of gpu to handle the shaking, is there any case of the gpu break into pieces?
no, no case will survive severe shaking. The foam panels I linked up, I found while looking for better shipping solutions when I was a product development engineer for Velocity Micro, it worked wonders.. You will just need to buy new ones each time you ship.
Always a pleasure my friend, so very happy you stopped by, trusted in me to help you, liked and subbed as well as took a moment out of your day to thank me. It means a ton to me and I am so very happy I could help you.
My friend i just ordered the gpu and the support, but the gpu will arrive 20 days earlier, you think is safe to use without support for 20+ days? Thank you!
@@ThisBytesForYou I walked in MicroCenter the day before I got it, I asked when will they have any in and he said well be here tomorrow morning so I did got there around 9am 7 people camped out I was like damnnn but the manager came out before opening and said are you guys here for the card and passed out 8 vouchers I was so lucky to spend my life savings on it lmaooo
@@LOONIBEATS thats awesome to hear, so very happy you got one, and I saw some videos on that too, the camping out, thats nuts hahah. Well, time to start saving again ;)
The cases they suposedly made the bracket for simply don't exist. Maybe they tried to work with some case manufacturers, but then said manufacturers decided not to include a feature that only supports one brand of card, with varying lengths for 60/70/80/90/ti.
Another awesome video. I would've had no clue how to solve the sag problem without this video. Thank you so much. I just ordered the doo-hickey thru your affiliate link.
you are so very welcome my friend, so very happy I could help you and thank you so much for using my link, it means the world to me. I am thinking of ordering a few more of these for my other PC's.
Nice camera! Is it a phone? Surprisingly great quality and thanks for the tutorial. After watching, i think i'll pass on the bracket. I have an anti-sag post similar to yours if i have any problems with my 3080 ftw3 ultra
Thanks buddy, no its not a phone, its a camcorder, you can see and compare the differences from my old camera to this one here: ruclips.net/video/WqwtdsxnD9g/видео.html, as for the anti sag, thats great. so which 3080 did you go for?
Anytime my friend, so very happy I could help. Everyone expect, including myself to i being a worthwhile solution, sadly it was not, but thankfully there are options. Did you end up getting a card, if so which one?
Thank you! This is super informative. Like the way you talk, slow and detailed. Wonder why EVGA choose to put the sag bracket that way, they could just give us the cheap GPU holder/bracket like those on Amazon, much more convenient.
Thank you my friend for your kind words and I am so very happy I could help you. I wish I knew why, but it is what it is I guess. The bracket I used afterwards is from Amazon and is in the link. One thing is that these guys, EVGA, Asus, MSI, etc make VERY little on the sale, maybe $30. NVIDIA charges a lot of the GPU, then in this case EVGA has to put in all their things, so they don't make very much. Putting in an additional cooler, the price would go up. Since everyone has their thing, many people would probably throw out the bracket, even if it were better for a different type.
ThisBytesForYou Wow what a greedy bastard Nvidia, thanks for the insight, I didn't know that. Just got my 3080 yesterday and I'm happy because I already got the gpu holder from Amazon in advance :D Oh btw so the RGB on the EVGA 3080s/3090s FTW3 can only be accessible via a 4-pin connector? That's strange, I never had any cards that required extra pin to light up.
Can't blame NVIDIA, they have to make their money, AMD does the same though they do it with more, since they sell the chipsets for motherboards and Intel as well with their Chipset's, nothing in life is free. This is why NVIDA/AMD say during their videos, MSRP, because they sell it for a few dollars below that price to give AIB's room to charge something reasonable. No, the 4Pin connector is for additional power, you don't need to use that, unless the unit you have for RGB requires that.
ThisBytesForYou Thank you for your insights. So the extra 5v and 12v pins are for other RGB peripherals such as case fans, instead of connect them to the supported motherboard, we can connect to the card instead?
I have 3 exhaust fans on the bottom of my case and the funny thing is we have the same case I don’t wanna get rid of one of my fans to get this mount is there any other product or something I can do so I don’t lose one of my exhaust fans?
You don't want exhaust fans in the bottom, heat rises and those fans are fighting with the gpu fans, lower the life span of the gpu fans and making them work harder provided less cooling.
Hi! Wondering if you could help, I have the EVGA gtx 1080 and I'm wondering how I could control/customize the LED on it? Appreciated it if you could help!
@@ThisBytesForYou Thanks for replying! In that case, you can do three fans at the bottom, right? When I'm building my Lian Li, I plan of having the bottom three fans as intake. The place this mount is installed looks like it takes the place of the bottom right fan. Oh wait, we may have been on a different page. I was thinking about your case as being the one I'm building with, the Lian Li Dynamic o11. In that case, I'll be filling the bottom with intake fans, and this mount looks like it would come in the way of the one on the right, make sense? Sorry about that confusion!
@@chadsmith80 oh oh oh, I see what you mean, you said front though, so I was confused. You might need to get rid of one of the 3 fans on the bottom then. You can however have 3 on the side or on the top, I dont know if you have watched the video, but it might help to understand. As it goes, I don't think you would need bottom fans, as you can see I have the 3 on the top and 3 on the side and it cools VERY well.
The stand is the exact same thing I ended up doing. I tried to get brackets that run along the length of the card but they line up over the fans unfortunately. The stand worked the best
Did you psu come with those cables or? I have the 3 pcie cables but they have the secondary attachments so they split makes cables management on the card impossible. Any suggestions?

I've never compared them to be honest havent used molex in a long time but I do have molex cables not in use. I'm using the evga GeForce ftw3 ultra 3080.
you can use which ever, I figured to recommend the PATA one because you probably don't use it anyway, going off of a seperate rail, but SATA works as well.
You can make a clear piece of lexan about 2 inches wide and 6 inches long and screw it to the bracket at the top and cut it to the right length so it rests on the bottom.
Yes you can, but it's not practical, not everyone has the tools or the time to do this, it's easy enough with the mount, click and have it at your house in a day or two. Plus, if you cut wrong... you gotta do it again. I can tell you I personally don't have the time, replying to over a hundred comments a day, helping people, recording editing, reviewing, benching and the little time I have,... To spend with my wife and kids.
Thank you so much my friend, I truly appreciate you stopping by, check out the video, commenting, your kind words and the subscription, it means the world to me and I am so happy I could help you.
ThisBytesForYou my friend what are your thoughts on these two monitors paired with a FTW3 3090 ultra ? Samsung Odyssey G9 vs LG CX 48” Oled? Thanks for your help
ummmm, I would need to test that for you... you know to make sure it works well hahah, not but seriously, the G9 with 240hz looks Amazing, I would get that one, looks awesome.
Thank you for the video. I have the evga 3080 ftw3 and I dont know how to install the cables to my motherboard. I know it supose to be basic, but I'm a beginer. I cant even find the instructions! There's 3 different connexions and I need to identifie each other. Do you have a video about this?
Always a pleasure my friend, the cables would be identical so you are good here. Sadly I don't have a 3080 to review, I had to buy the 3090 to bring information to you,... I am still paying it off sadly and my card is kinda maxed, I need to pay that off before I can do anything, which is killing me and I am too small for NVIDIA to look at me, thats where I kinda need your help haha, well all my viewers. NVIDIA only looks at reviewers who get hundreds of thousands of views right when videos get launched.... and that takes me a LONG time but anyway, I am pushing. Back to you card. This video will help you get it installed: ruclips.net/video/A2aqpr05-WA/видео.html, please let me know if you have any questions and as being a begininner, no worries my friend, we all started somewhere and I thank you so much for your trust. Thanks a ton for stopping by to check out this video, liking and subbing and commenting, it means a ton to me. Thanks again my friend and let me know if you have any quesitons.
Hey man can you comment on the cards noise levels and thermals under load? I got a gigabyte 3090 and under load the fans kick up to 80% to keep it at 70C and it sounds like a jet engine
Well, what kind of cooling does your case have, how many fans in the front, are they intake or exhaust, how many on the top and are they intake or exhaust and how many in the back and are they intake or exhaust?
@@ThisBytesForYou I have the Meshify C mid tower. Its as small as a mid tower can get. Two intake fans in the front one exhaust in the back. CPU cooler has two fans as well (noctua cooler pretty large) I was just curious if you had a review of your specific card and its noise levels and thermals. This Gigabyte one runs very hot and therefore loud.
@@dorsmap I was going testing, but then started working on a new build, last unboxing for new components will be over the weekend, if you check out my recent unboxings, you will see everything that will be in the build, next unboxing coming out tomorrow and maybe another on Saturday and then next week I will release my build video, showing people how to build the machine, cable and integrate it. I hope to see you at those videos, but then after that I can do real testing. The Cpu cooler you have, which way is it pulling air from and which way is it exhausting? I will bring you everything you want soon, as well as videos on the heat and noise levels as well.. Stay tuned my friend ;)
@@ThisBytesForYou OK sounds good man I will keep an eye out. The CPU cooler pulls from the front and exhausts out the back. Here is the photo of my build. photos.google.com/share/AF1QipP7XyGppmC9MEPS69myEauV6d3Z1H9VHvlNBIOL2zcmxbrFJ2wtsiZm8DZlAZdQoA?key=RVdCZi1Ka0tHZzlVOU5NcENudUNweGgzNzI1ZUdn
Ok good, just making sure. Good installation of the cooler, some people have it all wrong, so I need to ask and its a nice looking build, good job my friend.
Thank you for this video! I just bought the bracket through your link (at least I think.. not sure how those affiliate links actually work). I had opened up my FTW3 3090, saw the bracket and then looked at my case (Fractal Define 7) and realized there was no way it was going to work lol.
awesome my friend, so very happy you enjoyed this video and found it beneficial. Yeah, the bracket servers its purpose, but such a small percentage of the population, it doesnt make sense.
@@GurksTheGamer I think you are confusing vertical with horizontal maybe then because I try evgas then I use a vertical stand. Maybe I am miss understanding?
It's a pity you can't screw it on the other side. Then it could be used to cling with a normal bracket. On my 3080 EVGA there is nowhere to catch on, the design is a triangle, the holder flies off, or you interfere with the operation of the video card cooler. In general, this iron thing on top would help from sagging, if it were possible to deploy it
Walmart tool section they have red and black colored bar clamps, take the end off and reverse it and now you have a spreader or jack that would work perfect for this.
Always a pleasure my friend, yeah the bracket included is kind of worthless, but the one I show you in this video should help, I use it lots now actually, might but a few more for my other cards for reviews. thanks so much for your kind words.
@@ThisBytesForYou The bracket in the box doesn't really exist for you and I to use. It is intended for SI to use in their prebuilt machines. Nvidia has had those mounting points on their FE cards for a couple generations now, and has now required AIB cards to have them as well. This add on bracket was EVGA's solution to meet the requirement. Other brands like ASUS have the mounting holes built into the shroud design. That being said, you could probably run some fishing line from the bracket to a fan screw at the top of your case to support the card.
@@OmairArif yup, I used to use them when I was a product development engineer at alienware, then NVIDIA/PNY (Quadro's) only placed the holes, with no bracket at all, I had to develop them with Purcell. In the video though, I give you the perfect solution, for about $15, I wouldn't put fishing wire in my system, thats just me though, nothing wrong with that.
Wait, how is that extra weight at the end of the card, if it lifts the card? As for the pronunciation, I studied with monks for 3 months to learn how to pronounce it, it was a moment of enlightenment
@@ThisBytesForYou I know it's been over 6 months, but you screwed the metal bracket onto the top of the saggy end, only to have no way to use it. The stand doesn't connect to that.
@@Coltknows Sorry my friend, I am not sure I understand what you mean, though my head is hurting right now, so maybe thats why, but can you please explain it differently?
@@ThisBytesForYou Faye was referring to the retention bracket that came with the card. You screwed it onto the card, as it is intended, but had nothing in the case that connects to the bracket. So the bracket is just extra weight on the card. It's a good thing you have that support stand, since that nullifies the weight, but without that, EVGA simply added more sag potential. LOL!! Also, I didn't realize I was talking to the channel author. LOL! Thank you for the video, btw!
@@Coltknows ahhhhh thanks bud, I don't know why I couldn't figure that out, hahaha, thanks for clearing that up. Yeah, and actually I just bought a different type of sag bracket, for another video on this. Yeah, I reply to all my comments, unless RUclips doesn't deliver them to me, which sadly happens often, I look through my videos every so often for recon, but I have almost 400 videos, so it gets kinda difficult at times. Haha, thanks so much for stopping by and thanks so much for your kind words.
I have the same case as you, and unfortunately you can't use the sag support bar thing because of the intake fans at the bottom of the case, which is unfortunately. Thankfully the sag isn't too bad. I have the 3080 version of that card, and it barely sags, at least from what I can tell. Sad that the included support bracket is mostly useless, but I guess it's better than nothing.
@@ThisBytesForYou well the included bracket I for sure can't. I just noticed you have the O11, and I have the XL, but the bracket doesn't work with either. But I was mostly referring to the third-party sag bar thing you demo'd in your video. I personally have (2) 140mm fans on the bottom of my case as intake fans, and with those in place, I have no where to rest the support bar thingy (I really don't know what to call it). In your case you don't have fans down there, but rather what appears to be either SSD's or fan controllers.
Ahhh ok, I was confused since mine didn't have fans in the bottom haha. Yeah there are 2 trays on the bottom built in, I think you would have them too if you didn't have the fans. This is such a great case right. What's in your build?
@@ThisBytesForYou currently a 3700X + ASUS x570 Strix E Gaming, and an EVGA 3080 FTW3. Those are the parts worth mentioning :) Hoping I can finally get lucky and pickup a 5950X, but I've been trying for nearly a month with zero luck. But yes I absolutely love the case. I think it's beautiful while also a solid thermal performer. I am using an Artic Cooling Liquid Freezer II 360mm AIO mounted on the top for my CPU, and a bunch of other Arctic Cooling P-series fans throughout the case, some 120mm and some 140mm. Very very happy with this case.
Cool, as you saw I am also using the liquid freezer ii 360, it's awesome. You may want to check out roguecast.com, I also review for them and while they don't have any 5950s atm, they get in inventory all the time and they are strict not only about bots and scalpers but they charge msrp. Even though they so not have them now, register there for when they do, you can quickly nab one. Nice on the 3080.
I got 180 degree pcie power adaptors for the side panel. I think the way to eliminate all these issues is to use a vertical Mount because heat is also an issue this way
yeah, if you checked out the video, I did use a vertical mount, one I bought separately but the heat is not an issue since it's sooooo think and being aluminum adds a little to the cooling aspect.
hey i just wanted to say thanks for the video, i thought i was in the clear when i found the bracket in my box but now i know i still need a support bracket. I dont know if you knew this but LianLi creates a bracket that screws onto your stand off of the motherboard really really discretely for about 8$
I saw it, but I am scared of it running into other things. Since lian li doesn't work with me on other projects, I didn't ask them, I got this case from roguecast, I review for them as well (sooooo much work) but thank you so much for you support. You are so very welcome, thank you so much for letting me know I could help, liking and subbing and checking out this video, it means the world to me
So the gpu support bar doesn't need to be installed if you just use a anti sag rod. Alternatively, prior to installing the support bracket, simply place it against the support rod platform, lengthwise. Mark the area where the holes on the bracket are, and simply drill some small hole, affix the support bracket to the bar platform using the screws, then install. Now you just line up the bar, slide it in and screw it to the bar. Done, took me 15 min.
I watched the video, because I was hoping maybe there was an alternative to my method. I commented the method I used, simply because it worked, and utilized both items mentioned in your video. Hope that's OK, dont want to overstep.
Awesome, the 240 is great too, I had the original one, the 1st gen so I sure that one is going to be great also. Awesome about the card, where did you get it from?
very cool, so very happy you enjoyed it and so very happy i could help you, thanks so much for stopping by, liking and subbing as well as taking a minute out of your day to stop and thank me, it means the world to me.
@@ThisBytesForYou thank you so much for replying! I have an ATNG Power supply. This PC was built for me at Cyberpower. Model number APED-1150FC-GO. It looks like there are spare cables on the inside all tied up and tucked away, but doesn't appear to be a part of the group that they put for the GPU. I have a 1080ti currently and want to upgrade. Just not experienced with building my own or messing with the PSU/cables.
@@justinb6790 No worries my friend, I am always happy to help. You might want to pull those cables out and see what is there to use, you might get lucky. Now, Cyberpower is a decent Boutique shop, but they do a lot of budget things, so there is a chance it does not have it. If they dont have it included, there is a chance it is a semi-modular power supply, which means it migth have sockets for additional connections, but it might mean you need to pull the power supply out. Check the cables first, make sure there are 3 seperate cables that are either 8Pin completely, but it is Ok to use 6+2Pin cables as well, it is not OK to daisy chain the cables though. What i mean by that, is if 1 cable has an 8Pin, then it has a hook off of it that has another 8 or a 6+2, dont use both of those, only use one of those 2. If you can't find them, and the power supply is not semi-modular, you may need to buy a new one, but here is a video I made on installing the card, very easy to follow: ruclips.net/video/A2aqpr05-WA/видео.html If you are looking for a power supply, you can check in the description of that video, I have my Amazon affiliate link to a 1000Watt power supply I use in this video. I hope I have helped you my friend.
man good video but such a horrible design for that bracket from them must admit i like my bracket on my GPU so much better. good video and thank for showing everyone
Thank you for making this video. I have been wondering about this ever since I saw it. I already know my case won't have anything for it. I have seen a different method using just a single case screw mounted from the back of the case where the video card tabs are installed. The screw is installed in the top above the top tab preventing the video card from sagging.
anytime my friend, but in this case, where I had an E-ATX case, that wouldn't work for me and anyone else with an E-ATX board so the additional bracket I bought, pretty cheap too, fit's the bill perfectly. Thanks so much for stopping by and your kind words, it means a ton to me.
@@ThisBytesForYou I am confused. I am not terribly familiar with e-atx cases. Shouldn't the plate at the rear of the video card (where the display ports are) have tabs that extend into the internal backing plate that the motherboard attaches to? When I was watching your video I briefly considered the idea of using fishing line to that EVGA support. But then considered it would look even worse. I don't dislike the price or the look of the black anodized metal support.
@@FSDraconis E-ATX is a motherboard standard, it's a longer board, so it requires a longer case,... which requires more stand-offs and posts. So screwing the support bracket they included in the box to a standoff hole, would not work. In order for an E-ATX motherboard to fit into a case, the case needs to support an E-ATX motherboard, so it's kind of a 2 part process. Yes the video card has a top that extends to the IO of the case, where you screw the card into, but then the rear of the card has all it's weight dependant on the PCIE slot, and this card is heavy, that is why the support bracket here makes sense. I hope that helps?
@@ThisBytesForYou Gotcha. In the first post I was not suggesting using the bracket. I was referring to the tabs from the rear plate of the video card. Usually (but not always) the case has slots for those tabs that have too much slop. It isn't designed to, but I have seen the results of installing a screw from the rear of that slot above the tab to help push that corner down. I don't know if that will be enough for the heft of the 3080. So this could all be moot. My Corsair Graphite Series 780T won't be able to use the support bracket. So I will probably find a similar solution like you did.
@@FSDraconis yeah, the bracket I used in this video is linked in the description and pinned comment using my amazon affiliate link, I didn't like the idea till I got it and realize the strain put on my pcie slot, I didn't notice it before. Let me know what you end up doing.
Hey my man! Good news, I was *FINALLY* able to get a EVGA 3080 FTW3 Ultra and it's already been shipped, will arrive next week at my house :) I am so happy man 😍🌈
Very cool my friend, so very happy for you. I will be coming out with a lot hopefully this weekend and the coming week too, new build, so a bunch of unboxing a as well
Always a pleasure my friend, so very happy you stopped by, trusted in me to help you, liked and subbed as well as took a moment out of your day to thank me. It means a ton to me and I am so very happy I could help you.

Not going to lie, I am not a huge fan of it, but I wanted to address the question a lot of people had about how and what that sag bracket included in the box was about and if anything how to deal with it.
@@gionieves2646 My point was there are a hundred less ugly solutions to this problem. That thing is hideous. You can get perspex sag brackets (less visible), nice looking metal ones (more visible), or even RGB brackets (very visible), but I’ve never seen a solution as ugly as this one. And that matters to people these days where most cases are windowed and people focus on looks, RGB and cable management. On the aesthetic.
hahha yeah for sure, and you spent so much on the card,... you don't want to cheap out, I think the MHQJRH I use here is pretty nice, I bought like 5 of them.
@@Farmhand2k dude, hahah I am an idiot you are absolutely right. Still, it won't look as nice, I kind of like the look of that brace but it can get in the way. Would have been great if EVGA included something just a little more universal for the card.
you may need to reinstall the drivers for it (the thunderbolt card) or installing the card (the 3080), you disconnected cables (if there were some) or knocked the card lose. If the thunderbolt card required too many PCIE lanes, more than your previous card, the 3080 may have needed them, you may need to change your PCIE lanes allocation in the BIOS, check the thunderbolt cards manual to be certain.
@@ThisBytesForYou I’m going to try to reinstall the drivers of the thunderbolt card .. I can’t find the settings on my motherboard for the pcie card slots I thought it was plug and play I already move the cards around I can’t get the thunderbolt to work with the gpu . I thought about them both sharing the energy on the pcie slots but I can’t find the settings
eeek, plug and play is nice and all, but it's never been totally real, you still need to install drivers and configure things, its not like back in the day where we had to set IRQ's, dip switches, resource issues and so so so so much more, but still drivers and BIOS settings rule a PC. Check this video on how to install your 3080, as for the thunderbolt card, they are picky, I dont know what to tell you, you need to find the manual for that: ruclips.net/video/qsOC2IkKi1s/видео.html
@@ThisBytesForYou I know the bios it’s something im not very good at setting things up there but my card was working fine at first the gpu was the one not being recognized now is the thunderbolt card I know they don’t share any lanes . I’m thinking maybe the power from the motherboard? That thunderbolt card doesn’t have extra power supply and I have a m.2 a hdd and ssd drives idk if maybe the motherboard has a limit for the power I will try to do a fresh install on a ssd and install the gpu first and then the Audi audio card
@guillado gui M.2 SSD's take up PCIE lanes, like your video card and the thunderbolt card. Please list the manufacturer and model number of your video card, motherboard, power supply, processor, thunderbolt card M.2 drive and audio card, which also takes up PCIE lanes.
My FTW3 Ultra 3090 looks like the leaning tower of Pisa so I'm going to try the Cooler Master ELV8 bracket, just trying to find someone that's using that bracket for this particular card.
@@ThisBytesForYou Thanks for the reply. No not yet I'm ordering it now, bracket is 305mm long and our card is 300mm so it should fit fine. From videos I've watched it looks pretty good, I settled on it after looking at all the options. The Up Here bracket looks ok but I settled on the ELV8. The sag is crazy with this card.
Always a pleasure my friend, sadly I have never used this exact one, but years ago, when I worked at Alienware, (before Dell bought us) this bracket was first introduced, it was never correctly patented so everyone got to use it. These types of brackets were never any good, many times they would hit fans and get in the way, so I dont recommend them, I recommend the bracket I used in this video, and its cheaper than the one you selected as well.
@@ThisBytesForYou The bracket in your video is great except I have the Dynamic XL with 10x fans installed 3x at the bottom. Unless I just rested the bottom on one of the fans? Or perhaps I can extend the bracket towards the back of the card?
Looks awesome my friend. I wish I had the time for it, as a reviewer/creator, I spend my time making and editing the videos, as well as actually testing the product's and writing reviews for them (I am also a reviewer on Dragonblogger) then I have my day job so with all that.... I have to find time for my wife and kids.... I would love to get into more modding type stuff.... I just don't have the time.
I bought the the stand based on this video recommendation and frankly, I wish I didn't. The stand isn't very secure and I don't trust this giant metal bar just hanging out in my PC without being bolted by something.
Funny, it's been perfectly secured for me as long as you don't play volley ball with your machine. But hey, if you have something better, please recommend it.
Always a pleasure my friend, so very happy you stopped by, trusted in me to help you, liked and subbed as well as took a moment out of your day to thank me. It means a ton to me and I am so very happy I could help you and let me know which one you get.
It might, haven't tried it but most don't want something odd like that, they want either something a little hidden, since this is black its pretty hidden (the alternative I showed, for black insides) or something to go along with a theme.
Wow, I'll say this. For that kind of effort one could easily just buy something or just make something with a 3d printer that was way less obtrusive then that. That looks pretty obnoxious for how much effort one goes about trying to make everything look as clean and tight as possible . It seems like that would be one of the first things that catches someone's eye .A tall metal Pole right in front of their case..
Yes, you could and I could to but as a reviewer I can't assume everyone has a 3d printer, I don't and I can't assume everyone has the tools to make them themselves, I don't anymore. What's next, buying a low cost alternative, and there are others but this was the quickest and easiest I can find. Making it yourself takes a lot of time as well. I have a day job, a family, a house and I record all these videos, edit all these videos, create all the thumbnails and reply to all comments... I don't have time to create them. With all that said.... The solution I presented looks pretty good right?
@@ThisBytesForYou sorry, wasn't meaning it as a personal attack, just one man's opinion. Love your videos for sure.. And I wouldn't actually make something myself cuz I'm not that talented I was just go on google and Search for Mini Adjustable Graphics Card Stand Support Brace Anti Sag GPU and there is an awesome very indiscrete one for only $5 and looks great, mostly because you wouldn't be able to see it . I actually just ordered it.:) www.etsy.com/listing/911176891/mini-adjustable-graphics-card-stand All kinds of diff sizes as well.
@@Jackjack1978. ahhh, I saw your comment come in yesterday and it didn't show up when I clicked on it, then I saw that you had a link and it went to spam. I place a block on all links as to protect my viewers against potential issues, but i approved the message, now I can respond haha. So no my friend, I did not take it as a personal attack, though I did get into an argument a few days back with another guy with somewhat a similar comment saying that he could make it himself and didn't realize (even though I told him) not many people could, nor did I have the equipment or time to make it. I 100% value your opinion and the fact that you came to my channel to not only watch the video, but comment, interact with me and many don't realize I reply, I reply to al my comments and people get surprised. I greatly appreciate the interaction. As for the solution you presented.... I don't know, it just doesn't seem sexy to me, I kinda like the bracket I used, and since its black... you don't really notice it till you really look in. My opinion as well of course. Thank you so much for checking out my video, liking and subbing as well as commenting, it means the world to me.
we will more than likely always prefer what we have bought, its a common coping mechanism but this is what I could find quickly, and it works, looking ghetto.... a preference of course. But you can check out this video on 4 different types of GPU Anti-Sag methods: ruclips.net/video/hyEJz56yg24/видео.html, unfortunately when I google search ez mounting kits, there are a trillion, non of which I could quickly find was for gpu's, could you provide a link?
And make your build look like a piece of crap. I want this to look nice cuz then of course someone comments that it doesn't look right, you can't please them all.
Dang my guy I'm going to just use a small L bracket black and mount that to the bottom of my case and then run a piece of thin flat steel to the proper height and put another small L bracket to hold the card up. I will dip it all in liquid rubber black and then it won't really be seen. Evga should have sent that piece to begin with, or actually I'm just going to dip a small L bracket and mount it to the back of my case and it won't be seen at all
I promise you it does, but sag takes time sometimes, but it does and some cases have provisions to help it or provisioning on the pcie slot itself but they sag.
Nice dude, congrats. I don't think the bracket it comes with will work for you, but in the description I have a link for an inexpensive bracket which I still use today and it works great. let me know how it goes for you and if you have any questions.
It's kind of unfortunate that this is an issue in the first place and that the MB manufacturers haven't devised a better way of installations that are still ATX standard. I've seen some strange standoff board addons that sort of make it different, but they're not a standardized fix either.
@@ThisBytesForYou I fortunately don't need mine for my evga 3080ti, but my evga 3090ti in the mail seems to be coming with an e-leash, if it has the retention bracket ill just use that instead because my case has plenty strength but we shall see
@@Jakevoss96 I am curious as to that e-leash, kinda funny/sad feature, but at least it comes with the card, so that's cool. Sadly since I am a small reviewer, that card is too much for EVGA to send it to me, hopefully one day I will get there, but I have had to buy all my cards to review.

@@PraisetheKINGofkings2405 always a pleasure my friend and thank you as well
I got the bracket and was dumbfounded that EVGA wouldn't provide a list or any further info on how this bracket is actually used in a case for support. Makes them look stupid IMO
I was too, even worse when I called support and they didn't even know or have a list... not sure why they even included it, but it is what it is I guess.
Your attention to detail in these kinds of operations is admirable. Some times it just takes a little hand holding to give one the courage and ease of mind to get through this, much appreciated!
Thank you so much for your kind words and support my friend, it means the world to me and I am so very happy I could help you.
That bracket is intended for more off-the-shelf workstation type cases (think Dell/HP/etc). Brackets like that come pre-installed or integrated into the design of most workstation-class graphics cards and the chassis generally has a way to mount it in-place.
If you notice, the bracket has a very enterprise/industrial look to it, much like the inside of a server or workstation where aesthetics is not a concideration.
Yeah that's what support had told me, but he did not have a list of what cases had it, kind of frustrating.
Its cheaper and mostly invisble to tie a knot in some clear fishing line after threading it through a gfx card screw hole and tie it off at the top of the case. It won't fall off, like the MSVDSGF.
You are right but it won't be as functional is you need to move around a lot in your PC, the stand works great and doesn't fall, unless you are moving around a lot in your PC, which you can just move it for the time being.
Yeah I got this card today and also have that case and it just dawned on my how tight of a fit it was going to be! Glad to see you can still manage to get it in there.
yeah, after a little while, like now for me, the cables have been trained and it slides in a lot easier. Now, I can literally slide the side panel on and off without having to force it in.
Great content, but I feel like this video was for everything but the EVGA bracket lol, is it safe to bend any PCIE cable from other PSU brands? Been thinking to put my GPU vertically instead, that way the PCIE would be less forced.
The entire "Safe to bend" thing started with the 16 pin cable, it never existed before, I've been building for over 25 years (it was my job for over 10 years), its never been an issue.
Vertical cards potentially get hotter, they are pushed VERY close to the glass unless of course, you remove the panel, like you have to do with the Y60, then you have to worry about the riser being subpar, which causes a TON of issues.
As for the everything but, I guess you didn't watch it, because I showed you how you could use it, but as I mentioned in the video, EVGA themselves told me that it was made for a VERY small segment of people since it would fit a VERY small niche of cases, the MHQJRH bracket takes care of it.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I do like how you pronociated this bracket, definitely best content spice I ever seen. Keep doing, you the best! Greetings from France
Always a pleasure my friend, so very happy you stopped by, checked out my video, liked and subbed as well as took a moment out of your day to thank me. It means a ton to me. As for the pronunciation hahaha, I couldn't figure out any other way hahah.
If you know someone with a 3d printer, have them design an upper case letter L for you. You will be drilling holes in the bottom of the L to match the anti-sag bracket (or 2 screw holes already on other cards). The L will sit in your case at the end of the card but rotated 180 degrees so that the thin part extends to the bottom of your case near the motherboard and 2 screws will go into the bracket holes. Bonus points if you have a countersink bit. It will be near invisible and with proper measurements... extremely effective.
Edit: BTW, if you do go with the $15 support (which I do have one that has to be sent back now)... take a look at the ones with magnetic bases. Moving the case can cause the gpu to bounce a little and the non-magnetic stand will just fall over onto/into stuff.
Sadly I don't have a 3D Printer, and not many do but with that even if I did I wanted to provide a solution best for all, this $13 solution in this video is adjustable, black anodized aluminum, has soft rubberized pads for your card and the base to sit on to not scratch the card or your case and also has a magnetized base, everything you could ask for, cheaper than what you mentioned too ;)
But yeah, life would be easier if we all had 3DPrinter. I am trying to get one to review, have been approached by 3 different companies, but after I give them my address to ship.... they disappear... awesome aint it ;)
@@ThisBytesForYou Just an fyi, many libraries have 3d printers available for public use. They are also prevalent at the middle school through college level institutions for those with kids or attending themselves. For those that fit the availability above, it is all free including the used filament. Like anything, it generally takes more work to DIY than just to pay amazon. Just offering more solutions... which shouldn't be a bad thing.
@@easyperl no, not taken bad at all, and I love the input, though it may sound like I did not. Myself I didn't know the library offered these kind of services, which is pretty awesome but I may take that into account for later. I want to give people an instant solution here though, or at least relatively instant but again, I do thank you for the input.

There's nothing more I could do with the bracket, it's not compatible with my case, so I had to use the alternate one I bought. I might be able to get it to work if I mod the case, it's not worth it really.

Nice work, thanks for including the side panel discussion! Now to wait for stock in my country haha
anytime my friend, very happy you liked it, I hope you get it soon.
Does it help lowering the temperature as well?. How does it help overall?. Thank you
Well, yes and no. The sag could potentially block some air flow, but the reason for the bracket is to protect the PCIE slot from being ripped out, potentially bending pins, breaking traces both on the card and motherboard and just making the system look nicer. Always a pleasure my friend, so very happy I could help you my frien.
Thanks for the explanation! Let me ask you... This card is still working perfectly? Did you tried playing old games or light games on it? Cause a lot of EVGA 3090 and 3080 are dying or going black screen (before dying) when people are playing League of Legends or Halo... Since you have it since september, I wonder if it's still running fine and if you found any problems. Thanks!
working perfectly, that issue happened when the cards came out, quite some time back, since then there have been plenty of fixes in there, so you are good my friend and this card is amazing.

@@ThisBytesForYou thanks a lot for such a quick reply! Mine arrived today and I'm so worried about all those rma posts on evga forum! Haha! Very good to know yours is all good and kicking! :D
yes, make sure to install EVGA precision X1 as well, it will update the firmware on the card. Always happy to help my friend ;) And congrats, you will love it
Drill two holes in that bracket block and fasten to the bracket that came to the card. Bonus points for spray painting the card bracket Black! Cause Black is Beautiful!
Maybe, but still something that could/should have been done for you when paying this much money for a card.
Hey, I know it's a stupid question but I want to know. In 6:07 you adjust the gpu several times which makes the gpu up and down several times. Is that will affected the perfomance? I mean because the GPU copper will scratch.
No, not at all, and no the copper has not gotten scratched, I still use this card today and the video is 2 years old.
@@ThisBytesForYou Wow that's cool! I'm glad to have this card. And one more thing, I'm quite often moving from one country to another nowadays and bring my PC in my car with me. I'm packed the pc with foam all over it to make sure it's safe. But sometimes in the road there's some small turbulance, so is it will affected the GPU? I mean, will it break?
that will affect your PC for sure, parts getting knocked loose and such, I would recommend a laptop, desktops are not meant for this sort of travel but if you have to travel with your pc, I recommend buying lots of these, they will help you tons: geni.us/vtAGF8t, this is my global Amazon affiliate ink
@@ThisBytesForYou Thanks! I'm gonna buy it. But I'm courious about the capability of gpu to handle the shaking, is there any case of the gpu break into pieces?
no, no case will survive severe shaking. The foam panels I linked up, I found while looking for better shipping solutions when I was a product development engineer for Velocity Micro, it worked wonders.. You will just need to buy new ones each time you ship.
Why not use the bracket mount you screwed onto the EVGA card to rest on the vertical bracket you purchased?
you could, but that would look just much more awkward for no real reason, unless you are thinking something different?
The anti-sag bracket was a life saver. Thanks.

The cases they suposedly made the bracket for simply don't exist. Maybe they tried to work with some case manufacturers, but then said manufacturers decided not to include a feature that only supports one brand of card, with varying lengths for 60/70/80/90/ti.

Anytime my friend, so very happy I could help. Everyone expect, including myself to i being a worthwhile solution, sadly it was not, but thankfully there are options. Did you end up getting a card, if so which one?
ThisBytesForYou I’ve got a 3080 FTW on back order. No idea when it will arrive, sometime in Nov hopefully. One of the down sides to being an Aussie.
Good luck my friend, I hope you get it soon.
Thank you! This is super informative. Like the way you talk, slow and detailed. Wonder why EVGA choose to put the sag bracket that way, they could just give us the cheap GPU holder/bracket like those on Amazon, much more convenient.
Thank you my friend for your kind words and I am so very happy I could help you. I wish I knew why, but it is what it is I guess. The bracket I used afterwards is from Amazon and is in the link. One thing is that these guys, EVGA, Asus, MSI, etc make VERY little on the sale, maybe $30. NVIDIA charges a lot of the GPU, then in this case EVGA has to put in all their things, so they don't make very much. Putting in an additional cooler, the price would go up. Since everyone has their thing, many people would probably throw out the bracket, even if it were better for a different type.
ThisBytesForYou Wow what a greedy bastard Nvidia, thanks for the insight, I didn't know that. Just got my 3080 yesterday and I'm happy because I already got the gpu holder from Amazon in advance :D
Oh btw so the RGB on the EVGA 3080s/3090s FTW3 can only be accessible via a 4-pin connector? That's strange, I never had any cards that required extra pin to light up.
Can't blame NVIDIA, they have to make their money, AMD does the same though they do it with more, since they sell the chipsets for motherboards and Intel as well with their Chipset's, nothing in life is free. This is why NVIDA/AMD say during their videos, MSRP, because they sell it for a few dollars below that price to give AIB's room to charge something reasonable.
No, the 4Pin connector is for additional power, you don't need to use that, unless the unit you have for RGB requires that.
ThisBytesForYou Thank you for your insights. So the extra 5v and 12v pins are for other RGB peripherals such as case fans, instead of connect them to the supported motherboard, we can connect to the card instead?
You could connect the 12v pins to an argb header on the board to have everything sync up
I have 3 exhaust fans on the bottom of my case and the funny thing is we have the same case I don’t wanna get rid of one of my fans to get this mount is there any other product or something I can do so I don’t lose one of my exhaust fans?
You don't want exhaust fans in the bottom, heat rises and those fans are fighting with the gpu fans, lower the life span of the gpu fans and making them work harder provided less cooling.
@@ThisBytesForYou I’m sorry I meant Intake I thought I put that but I didn’t realize I didn’t

@@ThisBytesForYou Hmm I don't see the LED option at the top where it has the graphics card icon and HWM
What is your exact card model number?
@@ThisBytesForYou where could I find the model number?
Either on a sticker on the card or the box
Dang, looks like you have to sacrifice that front 120mm fan for the mount. How to combine the two?
what do you mean you have to sacrifice front fans, I didn't?
@@ThisBytesForYou Thanks for replying! In that case, you can do three fans at the bottom, right? When I'm building my Lian Li, I plan of having the bottom three fans as intake. The place this mount is installed looks like it takes the place of the bottom right fan. Oh wait, we may have been on a different page. I was thinking about your case as being the one I'm building with, the Lian Li Dynamic o11. In that case, I'll be filling the bottom with intake fans, and this mount looks like it would come in the way of the one on the right, make sense? Sorry about that confusion!
@@chadsmith80 oh oh oh, I see what you mean, you said front though, so I was confused. You might need to get rid of one of the 3 fans on the bottom then. You can however have 3 on the side or on the top, I dont know if you have watched the video, but it might help to understand. As it goes, I don't think you would need bottom fans, as you can see I have the 3 on the top and 3 on the side and it cools VERY well.
The stand is the exact same thing I ended up doing. I tried to get brackets that run along the length of the card but they line up over the fans unfortunately. The stand worked the best
awesome bud, yeah the stand is pretty awesome and very affordable.
Did you psu come with those cables or? I have the 3 pcie cables but they have the secondary attachments so they split makes cables management on the card impossible. Any suggestions?
My PSU came with the cables, what is the manufacturer and model number of your power supply?
@@ThisBytesForYou hx1000i from corsair it only has the daisy chain pcei that came with it unfortunately.

Does the molex deliver more power than the sata? I've never compared them to be honest havent used molex in a long time but I do have molex cables not in use. I'm using the evga GeForce ftw3 ultra 3080.
you can use which ever, I figured to recommend the PATA one because you probably don't use it anyway, going off of a seperate rail, but SATA works as well.
You can make a clear piece of lexan about 2 inches wide and 6 inches long and screw it to the bracket at the top and cut it to the right length so it rests on the bottom.
Yes you can, but it's not practical, not everyone has the tools or the time to do this, it's easy enough with the mount, click and have it at your house in a day or two. Plus, if you cut wrong... you gotta do it again. I can tell you I personally don't have the time, replying to over a hundred comments a day, helping people, recording editing, reviewing, benching and the little time I have,... To spend with my wife and kids.
You won a subscriber. Your videos are helpful sir.
Thank you so much my friend, I truly appreciate you stopping by, check out the video, commenting, your kind words and the subscription, it means the world to me and I am so happy I could help you.
ThisBytesForYou my friend what are your thoughts on these two monitors paired with a FTW3 3090 ultra ?
Samsung Odyssey G9 vs LG CX 48” Oled?
Thanks for your help
ummmm, I would need to test that for you... you know to make sure it works well hahah, not but seriously, the G9 with 240hz looks Amazing, I would get that one, looks awesome.
Thank you for the video.
I have the evga 3080 ftw3 and I dont know how to install the cables to my motherboard. I know it supose to be basic, but I'm a beginer. I cant even find the instructions! There's 3 different connexions and I need to identifie each other.
Do you have a video about this?
Always a pleasure my friend, the cables would be identical so you are good here. Sadly I don't have a 3080 to review, I had to buy the 3090 to bring information to you,... I am still paying it off sadly and my card is kinda maxed, I need to pay that off before I can do anything, which is killing me and I am too small for NVIDIA to look at me, thats where I kinda need your help haha, well all my viewers. NVIDIA only looks at reviewers who get hundreds of thousands of views right when videos get launched.... and that takes me a LONG time but anyway, I am pushing.
Back to you card. This video will help you get it installed: ruclips.net/video/A2aqpr05-WA/видео.html, please let me know if you have any questions and as being a begininner, no worries my friend, we all started somewhere and I thank you so much for your trust. Thanks a ton for stopping by to check out this video, liking and subbing and commenting, it means a ton to me. Thanks again my friend and let me know if you have any quesitons.
Would gluing a right length of wood on bottom be okay? (I'm cheap.)
You are cheap with a 3090.... I mean yeah, that will work.
Hey man can you comment on the cards noise levels and thermals under load? I got a gigabyte 3090 and under load the fans kick up to 80% to keep it at 70C and it sounds like a jet engine
Well, what kind of cooling does your case have, how many fans in the front, are they intake or exhaust, how many on the top and are they intake or exhaust and how many in the back and are they intake or exhaust?
@@ThisBytesForYou I have the Meshify C mid tower. Its as small as a mid tower can get. Two intake fans in the front one exhaust in the back. CPU cooler has two fans as well (noctua cooler pretty large) I was just curious if you had a review of your specific card and its noise levels and thermals. This Gigabyte one runs very hot and therefore loud.
@@dorsmap I was going testing, but then started working on a new build, last unboxing for new components will be over the weekend, if you check out my recent unboxings, you will see everything that will be in the build, next unboxing coming out tomorrow and maybe another on Saturday and then next week I will release my build video, showing people how to build the machine, cable and integrate it. I hope to see you at those videos, but then after that I can do real testing. The Cpu cooler you have, which way is it pulling air from and which way is it exhausting? I will bring you everything you want soon, as well as videos on the heat and noise levels as well.. Stay tuned my friend ;)
@@ThisBytesForYou OK sounds good man I will keep an eye out. The CPU cooler pulls from the front and exhausts out the back. Here is the photo of my build.

Ok good, just making sure. Good installation of the cooler, some people have it all wrong, so I need to ask and its a nice looking build, good job my friend.
Thank you for this video! I just bought the bracket through your link (at least I think.. not sure how those affiliate links actually work).
I had opened up my FTW3 3090, saw the bracket and then looked at my case (Fractal Define 7) and realized there was no way it was going to work lol.
awesome my friend, so very happy you enjoyed this video and found it beneficial. Yeah, the bracket servers its purpose, but such a small percentage of the population, it doesnt make sense.
Personally, I think a vertical gpu mount would look good with this gpu
I agree, did you watch it, I use one.
@@ThisBytesForYou I watched the video but I didn't see any vertical gpu mount
@@GurksTheGamer I think you are confusing vertical with horizontal maybe then because I try evgas then I use a vertical stand. Maybe I am miss understanding?
@@ThisBytesForYou Sorry for the confusion. I am talking about mounting the gpu vertically with a vertical PCI-e bracket. like the Cablemod one.
Oh oh oh, thanks, now I see what you mean. I am not too much of a fan of that, but I have something like that coming real soon ;)
It's a pity you can't screw it on the other side. Then it could be used to cling with a normal bracket. On my 3080 EVGA there is nowhere to catch on, the design is a triangle, the holder flies off, or you interfere with the operation of the video card cooler. In general, this iron thing on top would help from sagging, if it were possible to deploy it
well, because of that, i made this video, i hope it helps: ruclips.net/video/hyEJz56yg24/видео.html
Walmart tool section they have red and black colored bar clamps, take the end off and reverse it and now you have a spreader or jack that would work perfect for this.
You can use many different things of course but this is what I choose.
What do you call that noise you made at 6:00 ... "and the muhTA-PFFBT...stand..."
I cant actually write it or say it.... I went for years at a Buddhist school to learn it...
@@ThisBytesForYou I wonder, did you go to school with Ryu? ruclips.net/video/xbHLQAthI7M/видео.htmlstart=50&end=122
Well, the possibility is there... we just cannot speak about it... but it may have happened, for sure maybe....
Isn't that metal bracket that comes with the gpu supposed to be for use only with certain cases like from system integrators
Did you see the video?
The 3080s come with these brackets as well. I fitted it up the other way and used a cable (zip) tie to secure the bracket to the chassis.
Nice video good sir, I was wondering wth was that "bracket" about when I was installing my card.
Always a pleasure my friend, yeah the bracket included is kind of worthless, but the one I show you in this video should help, I use it lots now actually, might but a few more for my other cards for reviews. thanks so much for your kind words.
@@ThisBytesForYou The bracket in the box doesn't really exist for you and I to use. It is intended for SI to use in their prebuilt machines. Nvidia has had those mounting points on their FE cards for a couple generations now, and has now required AIB cards to have them as well. This add on bracket was EVGA's solution to meet the requirement. Other brands like ASUS have the mounting holes built into the shroud design. That being said, you could probably run some fishing line from the bracket to a fan screw at the top of your case to support the card.
@@OmairArif yup, I used to use them when I was a product development engineer at alienware, then NVIDIA/PNY (Quadro's) only placed the holes, with no bracket at all, I had to develop them with Purcell. In the video though, I give you the perfect solution, for about $15, I wouldn't put fishing wire in my system, thats just me though, nothing wrong with that.
so extra weight at the very end of the card... but thumbs up for that random mhjhnk pronunciation, lol
Wait, how is that extra weight at the end of the card, if it lifts the card? As for the pronunciation, I studied with monks for 3 months to learn how to pronounce it, it was a moment of enlightenment
@@ThisBytesForYou I know it's been over 6 months, but you screwed the metal bracket onto the top of the saggy end, only to have no way to use it. The stand doesn't connect to that.
@@Coltknows Sorry my friend, I am not sure I understand what you mean, though my head is hurting right now, so maybe thats why, but can you please explain it differently?
@@ThisBytesForYou Faye was referring to the retention bracket that came with the card. You screwed it onto the card, as it is intended, but had nothing in the case that connects to the bracket. So the bracket is just extra weight on the card. It's a good thing you have that support stand, since that nullifies the weight, but without that, EVGA simply added more sag potential. LOL!! Also, I didn't realize I was talking to the channel author. LOL! Thank you for the video, btw!
@@Coltknows ahhhhh thanks bud, I don't know why I couldn't figure that out, hahaha, thanks for clearing that up. Yeah, and actually I just bought a different type of sag bracket, for another video on this. Yeah, I reply to all my comments, unless RUclips doesn't deliver them to me, which sadly happens often, I look through my videos every so often for recon, but I have almost 400 videos, so it gets kinda difficult at times. Haha, thanks so much for stopping by and thanks so much for your kind words.
@6:00 idk why him mocking the mhqjrh "brand" made me laugh so hard 😂
Cuz it's a funny name ;)
I have the same case as you, and unfortunately you can't use the sag support bar thing because of the intake fans at the bottom of the case, which is unfortunately. Thankfully the sag isn't too bad. I have the 3080 version of that card, and it barely sags, at least from what I can tell. Sad that the included support bracket is mostly useless, but I guess it's better than nothing.
Are you saying in your config you can't use the bracket?
@@ThisBytesForYou well the included bracket I for sure can't. I just noticed you have the O11, and I have the XL, but the bracket doesn't work with either. But I was mostly referring to the third-party sag bar thing you demo'd in your video. I personally have (2) 140mm fans on the bottom of my case as intake fans, and with those in place, I have no where to rest the support bar thingy (I really don't know what to call it). In your case you don't have fans down there, but rather what appears to be either SSD's or fan controllers.
Ahhh ok, I was confused since mine didn't have fans in the bottom haha. Yeah there are 2 trays on the bottom built in, I think you would have them too if you didn't have the fans. This is such a great case right. What's in your build?
@@ThisBytesForYou currently a 3700X + ASUS x570 Strix E Gaming, and an EVGA 3080 FTW3. Those are the parts worth mentioning :) Hoping I can finally get lucky and pickup a 5950X, but I've been trying for nearly a month with zero luck. But yes I absolutely love the case. I think it's beautiful while also a solid thermal performer. I am using an Artic Cooling Liquid Freezer II 360mm AIO mounted on the top for my CPU, and a bunch of other Arctic Cooling P-series fans throughout the case, some 120mm and some 140mm. Very very happy with this case.
Cool, as you saw I am also using the liquid freezer ii 360, it's awesome. You may want to check out roguecast.com, I also review for them and while they don't have any 5950s atm, they get in inventory all the time and they are strict not only about bots and scalpers but they charge msrp. Even though they so not have them now, register there for when they do, you can quickly nab one. Nice on the 3080.
I got 180 degree pcie power adaptors for the side panel. I think the way to eliminate all these issues is to use a vertical Mount because heat is also an issue this way
yeah, if you checked out the video, I did use a vertical mount, one I bought separately but the heat is not an issue since it's sooooo think and being aluminum adds a little to the cooling aspect.
Where did you get those single 8pin PCIe cables, mine are all pigtail ;(
What power supple manufacturer and model number do you have
@@ThisBytesForYou Corsair RM850x
@@chrischeung98 that power supply brings 6 x 6+2-Pin, use 3 of those 6 and you are good, use the straight portion of the cable, not the pig tails.
@@ThisBytesForYou functionally its identical to a single dedicated PCIe cable?
Yes, as long as you don't use th pig tail. The evga 1000 watt brings singles but the corsair does not
so I am guessing then you didn't need to put the bracket on?
So I'm guessing you didn't watch the video?
hey i just wanted to say thanks for the video, i thought i was in the clear when i found the bracket in my box but now i know i still need a support bracket. I dont know if you knew this but LianLi creates a bracket that screws onto your stand off of the motherboard really really discretely for about 8$
I saw it, but I am scared of it running into other things. Since lian li doesn't work with me on other projects, I didn't ask them, I got this case from roguecast, I review for them as well (sooooo much work) but thank you so much for you support. You are so very welcome, thank you so much for letting me know I could help, liking and subbing and checking out this video, it means the world to me
So the gpu support bar doesn't need to be installed if you just use a anti sag rod. Alternatively, prior to installing the support bracket, simply place it against the support rod platform, lengthwise. Mark the area where the holes on the bracket are, and simply drill some small hole, affix the support bracket to the bar platform using the screws, then install. Now you just line up the bar, slide it in and screw it to the bar. Done, took me 15 min.
I have to ask,... did you watch the video?
Of course and 👍
I asked because I go over this, though I don't screw anything in, more work than you need to do and thanks 😊
I watched the video, because I was hoping maybe there was an alternative to my method. I commented the method I used, simply because it worked, and utilized both items mentioned in your video. Hope that's OK, dont want to overstep.
No,no not at all, all input always welcomed my friend, thanks for checking it out
I'm watching the video
What is the purpose of the bracket?
Don't worry, the video goes over it. Let me know if you have any questions afterwards.
Good videos man, thanks
Thank you so much my friend, I truly appreciate it and I am happy it could help you.
I have the 240mm version of the Arctic AIO. Just ordered the card today so this is helpful. 👍👍
Awesome, the 240 is great too, I had the original one, the 1st gen so I sure that one is going to be great also. Awesome about the card, where did you get it from?
If your using the stand whats the point of the bracket?
Sooooo, did you watch the video?
@@ThisBytesForYou I did untill 7:25. Im watching the rest.

Guys, I want to get this card, but my current rig doesn't have that many PCIE cables. My PSU is 1000 watt. How do I get this to be compatible?
Well, what manufacturer and model number power supply do you have?
@@ThisBytesForYou thank you so much for replying! I have an ATNG Power supply. This PC was built for me at Cyberpower. Model number APED-1150FC-GO. It looks like there are spare cables on the inside all tied up and tucked away, but doesn't appear to be a part of the group that they put for the GPU. I have a 1080ti currently and want to upgrade. Just not experienced with building my own or messing with the PSU/cables.
@@justinb6790 No worries my friend, I am always happy to help. You might want to pull those cables out and see what is there to use, you might get lucky. Now, Cyberpower is a decent Boutique shop, but they do a lot of budget things, so there is a chance it does not have it.
If they dont have it included, there is a chance it is a semi-modular power supply, which means it migth have sockets for additional connections, but it might mean you need to pull the power supply out. Check the cables first, make sure there are 3 seperate cables that are either 8Pin completely, but it is Ok to use 6+2Pin cables as well, it is not OK to daisy chain the cables though.
What i mean by that, is if 1 cable has an 8Pin, then it has a hook off of it that has another 8 or a 6+2, dont use both of those, only use one of those 2. If you can't find them, and the power supply is not semi-modular, you may need to buy a new one, but here is a video I made on installing the card, very easy to follow: ruclips.net/video/A2aqpr05-WA/видео.html
If you are looking for a power supply, you can check in the description of that video, I have my Amazon affiliate link to a 1000Watt power supply I use in this video. I hope I have helped you my friend.
man good video but such a horrible design for that bracket from them must admit i like my bracket on my GPU so much better. good video and thank for showing everyone
anytime my friend, very happy you liked it. I am thinking its for a rackmount server or something case, but I am not sure.
Thank you for making this video. I have been wondering about this ever since I saw it. I already know my case won't have anything for it. I have seen a different method using just a single case screw mounted from the back of the case where the video card tabs are installed. The screw is installed in the top above the top tab preventing the video card from sagging.
anytime my friend, but in this case, where I had an E-ATX case, that wouldn't work for me and anyone else with an E-ATX board so the additional bracket I bought, pretty cheap too, fit's the bill perfectly. Thanks so much for stopping by and your kind words, it means a ton to me.
@@ThisBytesForYou I am confused. I am not terribly familiar with e-atx cases. Shouldn't the plate at the rear of the video card (where the display ports are) have tabs that extend into the internal backing plate that the motherboard attaches to?
When I was watching your video I briefly considered the idea of using fishing line to that EVGA support. But then considered it would look even worse.
I don't dislike the price or the look of the black anodized metal support.
@@FSDraconis E-ATX is a motherboard standard, it's a longer board, so it requires a longer case,... which requires more stand-offs and posts. So screwing the support bracket they included in the box to a standoff hole, would not work. In order for an E-ATX motherboard to fit into a case, the case needs to support an E-ATX motherboard, so it's kind of a 2 part process. Yes the video card has a top that extends to the IO of the case, where you screw the card into, but then the rear of the card has all it's weight dependant on the PCIE slot, and this card is heavy, that is why the support bracket here makes sense.
I hope that helps?
@@ThisBytesForYou Gotcha. In the first post I was not suggesting using the bracket. I was referring to the tabs from the rear plate of the video card. Usually (but not always) the case has slots for those tabs that have too much slop. It isn't designed to, but I have seen the results of installing a screw from the rear of that slot above the tab to help push that corner down.
I don't know if that will be enough for the heft of the 3080. So this could all be moot.
My Corsair Graphite Series 780T won't be able to use the support bracket. So I will probably find a similar solution like you did.
@@FSDraconis yeah, the bracket I used in this video is linked in the description and pinned comment using my amazon affiliate link, I didn't like the idea till I got it and realize the strain put on my pcie slot, I didn't notice it before. Let me know what you end up doing.

IMO, that widget looks WAY uglier than a little bit of sag. What a weird product.
Not going to lie, I am not a huge fan of it, but I wanted to address the question a lot of people had about how and what that sag bracket included in the box was about and if anything how to deal with it.
The bracket isn't for looks. Sag can over time damage the GPU, and the PCI-e socket. Form over function.
@@gionieves2646 My point was there are a hundred less ugly solutions to this problem. That thing is hideous. You can get perspex sag brackets (less visible), nice looking metal ones (more visible), or even RGB brackets (very visible), but I’ve never seen a solution as ugly as this one. And that matters to people these days where most cases are windowed and people focus on looks, RGB and cable management. On the aesthetic.
@@danhowdle9508 yeah I know. But it's like having a dodge dart with huge good plated wheels....it's corny.
The MHQJRH part did it for me haha
Yeah, its pretty awesome for sure
How does the bracket stay mounted to the case?
Watch the video
ThisBytesForYou I did it looks like you just put it standing up? But how does it mount?
sorry my friend, I don't know what you are asking, how it mounts, I show you in the video.
Does lian li work for that bracket
Never mind its on the opposite side
sorry I am not sure, It's been a while since I have worked with lian Li.
I was thinking about using Legos but I feel like it will be sketchy for some reason
hahha yeah for sure, and you spent so much on the card,... you don't want to cheap out, I think the MHQJRH I use here is pretty nice, I bought like 5 of them.
That's cool. An even cheaper way, just use 1 or 2 of the expansion slot covers as braces.
I mean you can, its just not going to look as nice then you have 2 open slots as well, but yeah that is cheaper.
@@ThisBytesForYou No open slots since you removed 2 to 3 for GPU... Some slot covers look ok depending on the case...
@@Farmhand2k dude, hahah I am an idiot you are absolutely right. Still, it won't look as nice, I kind of like the look of that brace but it can get in the way. Would have been great if EVGA included something just a little more universal for the card.
hey i just nstalled a rtx 3080 but now my system wont recognize my thunderbolt 3 card pcie any sugestions
you may need to reinstall the drivers for it (the thunderbolt card) or installing the card (the 3080), you disconnected cables (if there were some) or knocked the card lose. If the thunderbolt card required too many PCIE lanes, more than your previous card, the 3080 may have needed them, you may need to change your PCIE lanes allocation in the BIOS, check the thunderbolt cards manual to be certain.
@@ThisBytesForYou I’m going to try to reinstall the drivers of the thunderbolt card .. I can’t find the settings on my motherboard for the pcie card slots I thought it was plug and play I already move the cards around I can’t get the thunderbolt to work with the gpu . I thought about them both sharing the energy on the pcie slots but I can’t find the settings
eeek, plug and play is nice and all, but it's never been totally real, you still need to install drivers and configure things, its not like back in the day where we had to set IRQ's, dip switches, resource issues and so so so so much more, but still drivers and BIOS settings rule a PC. Check this video on how to install your 3080, as for the thunderbolt card, they are picky, I dont know what to tell you, you need to find the manual for that: ruclips.net/video/qsOC2IkKi1s/видео.html
@@ThisBytesForYou I know the bios it’s something im not very good at setting things up there but my card was working fine at first the gpu was the one not being recognized now is the thunderbolt card I know they don’t share any lanes . I’m thinking maybe the power from the motherboard? That thunderbolt card doesn’t have extra power supply and I have a m.2 a hdd and ssd drives idk if maybe the motherboard has a limit for the power I will try to do a fresh install on a ssd and install the gpu first and then the Audi audio card
@guillado gui M.2 SSD's take up PCIE lanes, like your video card and the thunderbolt card. Please list the manufacturer and model number of your video card, motherboard, power supply, processor, thunderbolt card M.2 drive and audio card, which also takes up PCIE lanes.
Very informative
thanks my friend, very happy you enjoyed it.
My FTW3 Ultra 3090 looks like the leaning tower of Pisa so I'm going to try the Cooler Master ELV8 bracket, just trying to find someone that's using that bracket for this particular card.
so did you already buy the bracket?
@@ThisBytesForYou Thanks for the reply. No not yet I'm ordering it now, bracket is 305mm long and our card is 300mm so it should fit fine. From videos I've watched it looks pretty good, I settled on it after looking at all the options. The Up Here bracket looks ok but I settled on the ELV8. The sag is crazy with this card.
Always a pleasure my friend, sadly I have never used this exact one, but years ago, when I worked at Alienware, (before Dell bought us) this bracket was first introduced, it was never correctly patented so everyone got to use it. These types of brackets were never any good, many times they would hit fans and get in the way, so I dont recommend them, I recommend the bracket I used in this video, and its cheaper than the one you selected as well.
@@ThisBytesForYou The bracket in your video is great except I have the Dynamic XL with 10x fans installed 3x at the bottom. Unless I just rested the bottom on one of the fans? Or perhaps I can extend the bracket towards the back of the card?
@@hardcorehardware361 ahhhhh yeah, fans on the bottom, uggg, I have seen it used, but I cannot say how well it works since I have not done it myself.
Once the bracket is installed onto the card would be a better video to make of fabricating something to actually attach it to the case for support.
Maybe..... If I had a method of fabricating such a device .. have you done that in your channel yet?
I will try to fabricate something and send you a picture. Grinder and metal from homedepot comes to mind
@@CaFFeineSouLja and time, lots of time
Looks awesome my friend. I wish I had the time for it, as a reviewer/creator, I spend my time making and editing the videos, as well as actually testing the product's and writing reviews for them (I am also a reviewer on Dragonblogger) then I have my day job so with all that.... I have to find time for my wife and kids.... I would love to get into more modding type stuff.... I just don't have the time.
Where are the benchmarks for this card?
Coming, waiting on parts for new build, which should arrive today.
I bought the the stand based on this video recommendation and frankly, I wish I didn't. The stand isn't very secure and I don't trust this giant metal bar just hanging out in my PC without being bolted by something.
Funny, it's been perfectly secured for me as long as you don't play volley ball with your machine. But hey, if you have something better, please recommend it.
It'll run hot and slow if you split the three 8 pin power cables off from a single PSU circuit. You need to pull power from 3 discrete PSU circuits.
right, which is why they are separate cables, you can see in this video: ruclips.net/video/A2aqpr05-WA/видео.html
i have the same exact case but a 3080ti, i need a anti sag thing but i have fans on the bottom :/

@@ThisBytesForYou awesome, going to grab the upHere, but its out of stock. But looks like amazon has similar ones!
Always a pleasure my friend, so very happy you stopped by, trusted in me to help you, liked and subbed as well as took a moment out of your day to thank me. It means a ton to me and I am so very happy I could help you and let me know which one you get.
@@ThisBytesForYou anytime, ill let you know!
Thanks bud
I don't smoke but a pack of cigarettes slotted in there in 5 seconds.........and your done. playing cards, picture frame, baseball, ...
It might, haven't tried it but most don't want something odd like that, they want either something a little hidden, since this is black its pretty hidden (the alternative I showed, for black insides) or something to go along with a theme.
Wow, I'll say this. For that kind of effort one could easily just buy something or just make something with a 3d printer that was way less obtrusive then that. That looks pretty obnoxious for how much effort one goes about trying to make everything look as clean and tight as possible .
It seems like that would be one of the first things that catches someone's eye .A tall metal Pole right in front of their case..
Yes, you could and I could to but as a reviewer I can't assume everyone has a 3d printer, I don't and I can't assume everyone has the tools to make them themselves, I don't anymore. What's next, buying a low cost alternative, and there are others but this was the quickest and easiest I can find. Making it yourself takes a lot of time as well. I have a day job, a family, a house and I record all these videos, edit all these videos, create all the thumbnails and reply to all comments... I don't have time to create them. With all that said.... The solution I presented looks pretty good right?
@@ThisBytesForYou sorry, wasn't meaning it as a personal attack, just one man's opinion. Love your videos for sure..
And I wouldn't actually make something myself cuz I'm not that talented I was just go on google and
Search for Mini Adjustable Graphics Card Stand Support Brace Anti Sag GPU and there is an awesome very indiscrete one for only $5 and looks great, mostly because you wouldn't be able to see it .
I actually just ordered it.:)

All kinds of diff sizes as well.
@@Jackjack1978. ahhh, I saw your comment come in yesterday and it didn't show up when I clicked on it, then I saw that you had a link and it went to spam. I place a block on all links as to protect my viewers against potential issues, but i approved the message, now I can respond haha.
So no my friend, I did not take it as a personal attack, though I did get into an argument a few days back with another guy with somewhat a similar comment saying that he could make it himself and didn't realize (even though I told him) not many people could, nor did I have the equipment or time to make it.
I 100% value your opinion and the fact that you came to my channel to not only watch the video, but comment, interact with me and many don't realize I reply, I reply to al my comments and people get surprised. I greatly appreciate the interaction.
As for the solution you presented.... I don't know, it just doesn't seem sexy to me, I kinda like the bracket I used, and since its black... you don't really notice it till you really look in. My opinion as well of course.
Thank you so much for checking out my video, liking and subbing as well as commenting, it means the world to me.
I hate the fact I will probably have to buy a new case after doing a custom loop because the power cables will be smashed.
yeah custom loops can be a real big pain in the butt, they look cool and all, and work great, but the are tooooooo custom.
How to I plug in the 3090 to the psu?
this video will help: ruclips.net/video/A2aqpr05-WA/видео.html
glad I bought the Ez mounting kit and not this. this one looks ghetto and it will easily get knocked down when connecting cables.
we will more than likely always prefer what we have bought, its a common coping mechanism but this is what I could find quickly, and it works, looking ghetto.... a preference of course. But you can check out this video on 4 different types of GPU Anti-Sag methods: ruclips.net/video/hyEJz56yg24/видео.html, unfortunately when I google search ez mounting kits, there are a trillion, non of which I could quickly find was for gpu's, could you provide a link?
Or, just, cut a piece of cardboard to the right height, roll it into a tube, and put it in place - done.
And make your build look like a piece of crap. I want this to look nice cuz then of course someone comments that it doesn't look right, you can't please them all.
Thanks for thus video,, had no idea how that bracket worked lol! But So glad my deepcool macube case, has a gpu support built in
awesome bud, so happy I could help you and so happy you enjoyed the video. Awesome that it is built in too.
Dang my guy I'm going to just use a small L bracket black and mount that to the bottom of my case and then run a piece of thin flat steel to the proper height and put another small L bracket to hold the card up. I will dip it all in liquid rubber black and then it won't really be seen. Evga should have sent that piece to begin with, or actually I'm just going to dip a small L bracket and mount it to the back of my case and it won't be seen at all
K...
The 3090TI does not sag at all. I guess the back plate is thicker.
I promise you it does, but sag takes time sometimes, but it does and some cases have provisions to help it or provisioning on the pcie slot itself but they sag.
Its for fix it to hdd cage no ?
Maybe, it all depends on your case.
@@ThisBytesForYou i got a fractal design r6c. HDD cage is a good distance of my future 3089 evga ftw3 Ultra ...is coming soon😉
Nice dude, congrats. I don't think the bracket it comes with will work for you, but in the description I have a link for an inexpensive bracket which I still use today and it works great. let me know how it goes for you and if you have any questions.
A little bit of sag is better, thanks for the video
Better than the anti sag bracket you mean?
ThisBytesForYou yes, but let me tell you, i didn’t know that the anti sag was a thing.
Nah, it's always great to have you video card and system looking great and added stress to your pcie slot is not good, anti sag is pretty awesome.
It's kind of unfortunate that this is an issue in the first place and that the MB manufacturers haven't devised a better way of installations that are still ATX standard. I've seen some strange standoff board addons that sort of make it different, but they're not a standardized fix either.
I 100% agree
Supporting the weight is more for the job off the case, but the 3090 is very large and requires an actual steel case
Even still I have had cards sag , these gpu support brackets do the job perfectly
@@ThisBytesForYou I fortunately don't need mine for my evga 3080ti, but my evga 3090ti in the mail seems to be coming with an e-leash, if it has the retention bracket ill just use that instead because my case has plenty strength but we shall see
@@Jakevoss96 I am curious as to that e-leash, kinda funny/sad feature, but at least it comes with the card, so that's cool. Sadly since I am a small reviewer, that card is too much for EVGA to send it to me, hopefully one day I will get there, but I have had to buy all my cards to review.
0:59 close your eyes and listen lol
Awesome isn't it?
