You thought that was bad? You should have seen the sag on my giga ud3h+7970 yesterday before the thing sagged so much that it possibly fried the pci-e lane, atleast 5* more angle than that LOL.

Replacement board I am taking no chances, zip tied the thing up to be straight.

edit:

photo was taken a few hours before the PCI-E slot fried

sadly gigabyte windforce can't really be propped up from below because of the cooler design. I have it suspended with 2 zip ties at a diagonal from the motherboard tray, which helps a lot but it still sags at the far corner.

I see what you did there, but in all seriousness.........

There is actually a study that bras make breast more saggy after time, then not using bras.

zip tie the PCI-E power cable to a cable higher up to offset some of the weight. unplug the cable and its free. problem solved.

i read that study. it was about small breasts and pushup bras. not really relevant to the topic tho.

My HIS 7950 has some major sag like that, thankfully I have some old plastic candy container that is perfect height to hold the card up off the dividing part of my 800D. If I weren't so lazy now I'd grab a pic. But I'll keep your idea in mind Mussels for if I ever change up cases.

mrwizard200 · Jul 21, 2013

Picked up a reference Nvidia 660ti from Best Buy. Thanks impulse buy. I do have to say the packaging is probably the simplest and cleanest of all the boxes i have opened.

Holy PCB sag on that video card.

Too right! Looks worse on the photo, this is probably why evga do those free backplates! Still waiting for mine, will probably be 6 months before I get it!

My upgrade itch is bad at the minute but i can't let myself be tempted!.

I'm just hoping that when Primochill acrylic tubing hits over here that it's enough to tide me over.

I have been going to bed lately and thinking of how my next loop is going to look it's that bad.

I like that idea but could it strain the solder points for the card's power?

I want that board.

I just got some cable sleeving done. I'm quite happy with the sleeving from ebay. $6 for 25ft.

It's a bit of a birds nest, I might look at making it look a bit straighter after I do the PCI-E power cables.

I really need to paint the inside of my case black, but I think it would be cheaper just to buy a new case. The thing is I love the airflow in my HAF, so I have a bit of a dilemma.

Lots of good airflow cases with black interiors though, maybe see if someone will do a trade?

Check this case out SILVERSTONE RAVEN Series RV03B-WA Matte Black with...

silkstone · Jul 21, 2013

Sadly, I'm not in the US otherwise I wouldn't have gone with this case in the first place.

Don't get me wrong, it's a nice enough case, I don't mind the looks and the airflow is amazing but there were no other options when I bought this and very few now.

that looks so damn cool! ive been wanting to do this since ive seen it on the ROG site. do you know if it can be done on an asus CHVF?

its a lot easier on the card than the stress of being bent in half.

Knight091 · Jul 22, 2013

My computer so far.

Just making sure they line up. Will have compression fittings on all the lines when done.

Kast · Jul 22, 2013

I need a case. That 900D would be perfect.

Dat amount of goop you put on your GPU!

khemist · Jul 22, 2013

Yeah, it's enough for about 20 gpu's.

Those poor bits around the die have gotten sodden in paste too.

d1nky · Jul 22, 2013

^^^ OMG!

say bye bye if thats conductive. the amount of paste you need would fit within this - OH

NOTSOMETHINGLIKETHIS but this much = OH

less really is more, it should help contact between metal to metal not metal to shit to metal!
