I recently installed a heavy GPU in my PC case, and it's sagging quite a bit. I initially used the standoff that came with my CORSAIR Frame 4000D case, but I discovered it touched the fan. Should I leave the case on its back for now, or will that damage it?

Honestly, you really should get a bracket for your GPU. Leaving it like that can bend the circuit board, which could break it over time. Better safe than sorry!
You need to install the GPU anti-sag mount that comes with the Frame 4000D. It's designed specifically for this issue. Just follow this [guide](https://www.corsair.com/ca/en/explorer/diy-builder/cases/how-to-install-the-mini-gpu-anti-sag-mount-in-the-frame-4000d/).
If you leave it sagging, the heat from the GPU can cause some damage in the long run. It might seem fine now, but it can lead to serious issues down the road. Just fix it before it gets worse!
If you can't find the original mount, you can easily get a generic GPU support for around $7 on Amazon. I even heard of some people using LEGO bricks as a creative solution!
Just prop it up somehow! It could be anything from LEGO pieces to a chopstick! Or rlying the case on its back is fine too, it won’t damage anything.
Haha, I was just going to suggest the Lego idea! That's hilarious!
