I just got a new Asus Tuf 5070, and I'm having some trouble fitting it into my case (a View 170). The case says it can handle GPUs up to 340mm, which it does, but the GPU feels loose and wobbly in the PCIe slot. It's making it tough to screw the GPU in place. Is it okay to screw the GPU in from the outside?

You'll want to hold the GPU up while screwing it in since it's a tight fit. It might also be a good idea to get a GPU support to prevent it from sagging in the future. Better safe than sorry!
If it's too loose, you can always get someone to help you hold it while you screw it in, or even use something like a pillow to keep it stable while you finish the installation!
Glad you got it running! Definitely put a support on your list; it helps a lot with stability.
