Hello fellow EVGA users, After re-assembling my loop ( took it our for 6 month cleaning and changing gpu block), I noticed that my gpu slagged a little, less than half inch, based on the distance to the right ram slots. Should I be worried about this sagging problem? All the screws of block and backplate are correctly tightened, and I double-checked the block after assembly to make sure there was even contact. Pics of the build are below, I even took a picture before running the tubing and did not see the sagging of gpu; that was kinda dumb, I know... Thanks in advance for your help.

I am pretty sure every card sags a little because of the weight of the card. There is nothing supporting the right side or front of the card, which means weight will take a minor toll over time.
It isn't anything to worry about. If you want it even, companies do make support braces to add a level of support for the card.

You can even build one out of Legos if you have some just laying around doing nothing :)

Thanks Scarlet, you're extremely helpful as always :). I never paid attention to sagging card before until now because I just switched to a new case that has side window.

@OP, What's going on with your RAM configuration? You're sacrificing your Quad-Channel bandwidth putting sticks in separate banks on the left side. Your right side is configured correctly for an Asus ROG board. (off topic noted)

I knew some one will eventually notice this :)) My B channel stopped working a couple weeks a go, it's either the board or the cpu :(. Can't send it back right now and be without my rig for a couple weeks (likely more with the awesome asus support) cause I'm in the middle of some very important project :(, besides the dead channel, everything else is working fine.

Well then, perfect excuse to go out and buy some? haha You can even make a nice diorama inside your case :) You have such a pretty window, but it's so boring to look at :P
