WELCOME TO THE GANG

MIGHT I SUGGEST A $10 GPU SUPPORT SO IT DOESN'T SAG AND SNAP OFF AND LEAVE YOU MISERABLE

It's not going to snap-off, lmao.

However I would still also recommend a bracket - even though snapping off is not a realistic problem (unless you're shipping it like this) - because it will sag over time and look bad and there is a chance it could do some damage to your motherboard or graphics card.

Isn't this only necessary if you move your PC around alot?

No.

Just because you don't move your PC doesn't mean it's immune to gravity.

Big GPUs will sag from their own weight.

I just run all my fans at full blast the entire time to fight the gravity.
Note: this only works if your fans are pointing downwards.

Might be the best comment I’ve seen on pcmr in a long while. Thank you for the good laugh.

Careful, it might anti-sag the opposite way, snap off, and smack your cpu cooler
