I was wondering if the cards needed a little extra support to prevent sagging. What do you use to support your card?

I created a handle that can utilize existing Evga bracket. These are expensive and extremely heavy cards (I have 3080 ti FTW3 Ultra), I cannot imagine having this in socket without support. The advantage of my handle contraption is also that it can be used as safe PCI-E lock unlock tool (PCI-E lock is buried behind card). Handle: Evga bracket: Mounted in case:

My Phantek's P500A comes with an anti-GPU sag built in. It pushes the card up via the back plate area. Works great! Also the 3080FTW/Ti dont sag that much.

Results vary, subjective really. I think the 3080 FTW3 cards have a lot of sag. Chonky, but great looking cards. I'm a "no sag" kinda guy. Not even a mm.

I mounted mine vertically...so no, no extra support. (ie: I'm not a good candidate to answer ;))

I used the Lian Li bracket on my old setup. Won't work on with the heatsinks on my current Aorus motherboard. It should work with any board like the Strix or any board without heatsinks where standoff is not blocked off.

Doesn't the lian li bracket prevent the pci-e clip from clipping? I've had issues getting it to lock in place.

Paper towel roll cut to size works great. If you're a Person of RGB maybe you could wedge a fidget spinner underneath it?
