I installed this GTX680 SOC and it was sagging so I was worried about the motherboard being damaged so I put this book under it (temporary). Does anyone know of a good way to permantely fix the sagging?

PS. There's no CPU cooler because I am waiting on an H100

+1 Resourcefulness. Level up! ... Seriously, I have no clue. But you do get points for thinkin' with your brain.

I don't know, you could probably route the PCI-E power connectors to come down from above the card in a way that they act like a support cord to help hold it up. But I'm not sure how good of an idea that is lol. If I had a card that heavy, I'd probably just put it in a "cube" style case where the motherboard lays flat and graphics cards weight just pushes straight down into the PCI-E slot.

tie it to your case?

I think I might route the cable differently (come from above like a support)

I saw one of these a week or two back. Not sure where to find some more until they restock but since you have a bottom mount PSU it should work fine.

Yup, a PowerColor Power Jack or the one HIS makes might do the job, I just don't know if it can stretch that long.

BTW, your rig looks awesome.

Have annyone else had a vision of that book catching in fire due to the heat?

Thanks

LOL.

It's unlikely, unless that GPU is severely overclocked. He does have a custom cooler though.

It has the highest factory overclock 1202MHz

Well, 680s run cool anyway.
