Yeah, like a bracket you can screw into the unused PCIE brackets or something, like this: http://i.imgur.com/vgQwk2J.jpg

You can actually buy them!: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B019ZZQVK8

u/FuzyWumpleStump · 18 pointsr/battlestations

Definitely! It can help prevent shearing of your GPU when the case is in transport. That's why people have GPU props like this:
https://www.amazon.com/Puget-Systems-Universal-Acrylic-Brace/dp/B019ZZQVK8
GPUs are heavy and can put stress on the PCI slot on the mobo if the case is jiggling around a lot (like if it were in a car).

EDIT: okay...I guess I get downvoted for logic and facts..funny.

u/DyLaNzZpRo · 17 pointsr/pcmasterrace

Uh...


Edit : Not sure how the fuck I managed to post the wrong link.

u/violenttango · 9 pointsr/pcmasterrace

Since you have an open slot directly below the GPU get this, https://www.amazon.com/Puget-Systems-Universal-Acrylic-Brace/dp/B019ZZQVK8/

u/zerok3wl · 9 pointsr/nvidia

This. Works gloriously

u/Rybaka1994 · 8 pointsr/pcmasterrace

This is how it's supposed to look

and here is a link to the GPU Brace!

u/BigBlackPenis · 7 pointsr/buildapcsales

Oh, shit, I was just looking at this on Amazon.

Anyway, I'm hesitant since I'm looking for a GPU brace that can be used for a PC that's going to be lugged around as well. Been searching for months, and found these options:

mnpctech I'm liking this the most because it's made of metal, has more options, but it's also the most expensive.

Puget Systems
Probably the first GPU brace on the market. I remember it used to have 4+ star reviews but now it's dropped.

Atlas This is new, and I'm liking it the second most.

MSI Another new option I've never seen. I like how the pole braces against the top and bottom of your PC case, but I can't stand the MSI Gaming logo even though I have an MSI 480.

u/Richard_MF_Nixon · 6 pointsr/pcgaming

It could well be enough, but since you're on a bike I'd recommend being safe than sorry. Something like this will spread the weight distribution out a bit more and should keep the card safer.

u/Trazac · 5 pointsr/pcmasterrace

It's mostly aesthetic but can cause some damage to PCIe slots if it's really bad. You can get something like this to correct it, or engineer your own solution.

u/SirAxolotlTheThird · 5 pointsr/pcmasterrace

not really.

but a gpu brace (https://www.amazon.com/Puget-Systems-Universal-Acrylic-Brace/dp/B019ZZQVK8) is 18.50$ and could help, the card might not be damaged from this slight sag but it will annoy you because you know that it is sagging.

think of the brace as a good bra or a boob job for your pc, personally i would plastidip the brace black or whatever color you prefer. (because clear plastic is yucky.

edit: you could just use some random item to brace the gpu but that wouldnt look very neat would it?

u/iAmAddicted2R_ddit · 3 pointsr/pcmasterrace

Holy sag alive, I would try to straighten up that GPU

If you can spare $20, something like a PCI support brace would be ideal, but anything semi-straight that can be placed on the case floor and reaches from the floor to the GPU would also work

u/Kavari · 3 pointsr/nvidia
u/Iamnotyourhero · 3 pointsr/pcmasterrace

Yeah unfortunately there's really not a lot out there. I found this Puget one that looks like it would snap if I tried using it with my 980Ti, and this one which I think is fugly, and probably also wont fit.

u/0bviousTruth · 2 pointsr/nvidia

Yeah, saw it on Amazon and thought it might be a good idea since GPUs keep getting bigger. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B019ZZQVK8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

u/DZCreeper · 2 pointsr/buildapc

As long as you have rear PCI slots below your GPU for the bracket to attach to there is no reason you couldn't use it inverted.

Just FYI, you can get cheaper brackets such as this one:

https://www.amazon.com/Puget-Systems-Universal-Acrylic-Brace/dp/B019ZZQVK8

u/SamuelCish · 2 pointsr/pcmasterrace

Pugnet Systems sells an acrylic GPU brace that looks good in any system. It's worth the investment, trust me.

Edit: Amazon link

u/royalblue420 · 2 pointsr/nvidia

You could also use a stick. Saw that Galax has a stick they send with their GTX 1070/1080 Hall of Fame cards. If you want to be flash, I wouldn't recommend using an unsharpened pencil...but.

I've also seen this:

https://www.amazon.com/Puget-Systems-Universal-Acrylic-Brace/dp/B019ZZQVK8

Though 18 dollars and shipping for a piece of acrylic is a lot for what it is, it may serve the purpose.

Also zip ties > twisty ties every day of the week.

u/JiMM4133 · 2 pointsr/pcmasterrace

This product would help. There are a couple of other companies that I've seen make them. But, sadly, this is the only one I can find right now.

u/Fugiocent · 2 pointsr/AMDHelp

Are you talking about something like this?

Are you sure that this is even a problem? I thought that backplates were supposed to prevent significant GPU sag.

u/SolidSeverus · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

This is what I use, it's just an acrylic brace that screws in below your GPU. Unfortunately it isn't available on Amazon right now

u/UrMom306 · 1 pointr/nvidia

Looks like the price went up to 18, but still pretty cheap. https://amzn.com/B019ZZQVK8

u/THAT0NEASSHOLE · 1 pointr/Amd

Buy this and never worry about it again

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B019ZZQVK8

u/FastRedPonyCar · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

Puget sell acrylic ones on amazon

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B019ZZQVK8

u/knives_chow · 1 pointr/hardwareswap

You could always just pick up one of these guys: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B019ZZQVK8/

u/UGSim · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

Something like this is very nice, but quite pricey.

There's also this.

u/Sletts · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

https://www.amazon.com/Puget-Systems-Universal-Acrylic-Brace/dp/B019ZZQVK8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1480807868&sr=8-1&keywords=puget+gpu+brace

This is the one I got. It's kind of a bitch to put together because the little block attachment isn't threaded (so tough to screw in), but once it's together it seems pretty sturdy to me. I'm sure there are other options too. I've seen some people just stack legos up and hold their GPUs also.

Congrats on your first build!

u/ManRAh · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

Heavy cards should come with anti-sag GPU braces.

u/oldmanotaku · 1 pointr/nvidia

There is this bracket on Amazon. Also the Cooler Master HAF X comes with a VGA support bracket for multiple cards.

u/CeeeeeJaaaaay · 1 pointr/watercooling

I would also get one of these or something similar for the GPU:

https://www.amazon.com/Puget-Systems-Universal-Acrylic-Brace/dp/B019ZZQVK8/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1487429394&sr=8-3&keywords=gpu+brace

I can notice the sag just a bit. If it doesn't bother you of course it's not a big deal.

u/LeftyT13 · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

TL;DR

Since my main focus is gaming, over time the most common upgrade for me is a new GPU. Ya know how some people will say "buy the 970 now and if it isn't good enough, SLI it later"? And other people will go "No, you'll just end up never doing that and it will be a waste, wait a month to save up for a 980ti"?

Well, I'm actually the person who really goes from single to SLI builds over time. My history is:

  • GTX 275
  • GTX 275 SLI
  • GTX 570
  • GTX 570 SLI
  • GTX 760
  • GTX 760 SLI
  • GTX 970
  • GTX 970 SLI

    When I got the first 760, I bought one of those braces from Puget Systems. I used it until I went to SLI. Then put it back in again for my single 970. I had to pull it out again for SLI, obviously, but when I upgrade next I'll put it back in again. It's worked great for me.

Or, if you're in the US, there's always this option: Puget Systems GPU Brace Amazon Link

u/splodead · 1 pointr/nvidia

You could get a card brace like this LINK.

They take up the adjacent slot and clamp onto the card to give it support. I'm unsure how helpful they wind up being and have never used one.

u/liath_ww · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

Had a few minutes while I wait for this clone to finish....

Can't find the part that I was hoping for, in the meantime, found this:
https://www.amazon.com/Puget-Systems-Universal-Acrylic-Brace/dp/B019ZZQVK8

What I was looking for is MUCH better -- used in a few server chassis that I've worked on. Was 2 bars that mounted at the top and bottom of the case and were joined in a few spots with crossbars, and had little... 'feet' or other grippers that you'd push down onto the card, then tightened a nut on the back and it would lock it exactly where it is. Was nice.

u/iBoMbY · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

I would also blame it on the GPU designers. I think it could be resolved with a strong metal plate on top of the GPU up to the slot brackets.

Like this Acrylic Blade made of metal, on top of the GPU.

u/Kerolyte · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

A GPU Brace like this one.

u/Remmes- · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

Yeah I wouldn't want those leds. (Don't even have a window). 12 sounds a lot more reasonable than 17.

Edit: it's even 18 now. And that's without shipping.. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B019ZZQVK8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_F46Jxb6GE7J0S

Where exactly did you get yours ?

u/johnnyp42 · 1 pointr/techsupport

http://www.amazon.com/Puget-Systems-Universal-Acrylic-Brace/dp/B019ZZQVK8

I don't know if you can manage to fit one for each card, though.

Some people just use fishing line or string and attach it to the case to hold the card up. Other people would tell you not to worry about it at all.

u/Wendon · 1 pointr/buildapc

I'm looking for a GPU bracing solution that's cheaper than the Puget Systems one, but also looks better than just stacking lego's. Any suggestions?

u/Caleb10E · 1 pointr/buildapc

Does your case have a window? Otherwise I wouldn't worry about the sag.

If it does, the only other bracket I'm really aware of is this one from Puget Systems.

u/lyeatin · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

something cheap and quick is string, but there is also this
