raident30 · Jul 13, 2014

i am planning to attach this GPU after market cooler to my GPU:

but after reading reviews and looking at pictures in google, i've noticed that their gpu together with this cooler are kinda drooping and i think its bad for the PCI slot as it stresses it.

(the last picture)

so my question is, how do i prevent this? are there any support stand available in the market?

you can cut a wood dowel and prop it up from the bottum or use threaded rod from the top of the case.

A tiny shower curtain rod. Try looking in the Barbie beach-house.

There is this:

You're welcome! :thup:

It took me a while to find it. Especially when I didn't know what it was called. I would have never guessed "weight lifter"

Even after I found out the name, do you know how many body building sites come up when you google search "his weight lifter" :facepalm:

there is a free one when you buy a powercolor 7990 last year and they called it powerjack... well i don't think that's sold separately though...

I can only find an out of stock Newegg link on that one. It is easier to find though.
