Hi guys,
wanna share with you my homemade solution to GPU sag.
Card is a GTX980 G1 and it's got a sag worth of a granny's rack.
So here's what i come up with.
Plastic brackets, so I have electrical insulation. This plastics were taken from some leftovers, nothing purpouse built.
Just made some cuts here and there, some fittings.
Used nuts n bolts for securing.
Now everything is ROCK SOLID, the GPU just doesn't move at all.
NOTE: this is it's neutral position when chassis lays on the side. Guess i was lucky with the bracked being aligned.
Rate, comment, rage, insult.

yeah as i said, plastic leftover. Did not have the choice.

And another.
Let me hear your opinions. I think that's already doing a great job, may come up with some additional fit, finish, polishing, etc.

Maybe instead of routing your PCI-E power cables from the bottom (dragging the GPU down) you should route them from the top (like pic related) and the GPU won't sag as badly. Might still sag, but it will help stop the sag.
This is mine, never had a problem with sag.

but why?

look at the pcb on the top left of your card in the picture and compare it with the top right
>never had a problem with sag
ok m8

they are routed from the top, but still the result did not satisfied me.
Had to make a proper solution, really. Maybe it's just me, but this now is good, solid, and the cables don't stress the connectors anymore.
Why did you put the thing over the GPU and then screw it on it instead of putting it under the GPU to let it rest ever so comfortably on a green shelf?
based 250d antisag setup

There are the fans under the card and also, this way I could use the HDD internal slots while having a more stable grasp to the backplate of the card.
Also it looks cleaner IMHO
