I have a PowerColor 7800xt that's sagging quite a bit, and I'm considering using monofilament fishing line to level it out. My idea is to run the line from the top down through the GPU back plate. I'm not sure if this would work effectively, so I wanted to see if anyone has thoughts on this approach and if there are any potential downsides I should be aware of.

There are a few concerns to think about with using fishing line for GPU sag. First, there’s a chance it could soften or stretch when it gets really hot, especially around 90°C, which can happen while gaming. Secondly, you need to be cautious about how you tie your knots, as they might loosen over time. Lastly, getting the line to the right length could be a bit tricky, which might be a hassle for you.
Using monofilament seems like a solid fix, just keep an eye on it as time goes by. You might want to check if it holds up well or starts to sag again.
