DIY anti sag solution?

[Yukiko ~Snow Child~]

The anti sag bracket that came with my video card doesn't fit in my case and I can't use one of those beams with the magnetic bottoms because I still use an old HDD for storage. Is there anything else I can use to prop up the card?

fishing line....did it with a GIGAbyte windforce 4gb 680 in 2011....

You can use pretty much anything as long as it doesn't cause damage to anything. Fishing line is pretty common because it's not easily seen, but I've seen people use LEGO bricks, figures, and all manner of horrors to keep their GPU propped up

What about the types of support brackets that are supported by multiple I/O screws?

(I'm not recommending this one in particular, but it's the first example of the type I mean.)

My graphics card came with this type of support bracket included and it works well for me. Installation can be slightly tough (perhaps depending on case) but nothing too difficult.

Otherwise, any custom method which adds support to help prop up the weight will work.

or wood or anything can work

I am in favor of built-in brackets which really should be found more so than not in cases these days - I would hope because my mimic case with updated tempered glass has one which is the 2019 update from the 2016 model, but idk OP, it is a gamble - just make sure nothing you use hits those GPU fans is all - take into consideration vibrations and such.

That looks useful.

Wooden chopstick, cut to size.

This G.P.U. Support Bracket[www.amazon.com] looks like it grabs onto the card and uses a base for stability.

My desk is tiny.

do u know you can buy one of those gpu extension cords and put your gpu anywhere you want i might try to find a long one so i can just put it on my desk outside the case beside my mouse so i can blow off the dust every day and never have to worry about it clogging up again because im looking right at it., it beside my mouse.

aha!

well you can probly find a tiny case with vertical gpu mounts. something else i had to do before because it was getting bad, i just laid my desktop on its side. now it just sags harder into the slot rather than down

Put the HDD some place else, it can go elsewhere quite easily. Just have to be careful if moving the tower or transporting that PC.
