Vegan Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 I have seen some recent posts on twitter of new chassis with a bracket to support the video card. I have not had problems with video cards so I am wondering of this more gimmick than function? I have some tools and aluminum so I could add one to almost any chassis quickly.

LeDoyen Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 anti sag brackets? Well, with time sag can kill a PCB. A friend of mine has an old 7 series GTX with serious sag.. if you try to support it to make it horizontal, the thing won't boot at all. With heavier air coolers yea it's totally useful in the long run, even if it's mostly used for aesthetics purposes. When you have to transport or ship a computer it's also protecting the GPU from snapping. I believe the O11s have one (i think i saw one in the package^^'). one Inwin case i used had one by defaut too. It's getting pretty common.

Blacksad Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 There are a number of them you can buy pretty cheap if you feel you need them. Many motherboards currently come with reinforced Pcie slots, and is getting to be fairly standard practice nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
