I recently built my first PC, and I've noticed my GPU is sitting at an odd angle. At first, I thought it might be sagging, so I got a support bracket, but it didn't help because I can barely lift it up. I even tried re-screwing it while lifting from the other side, but that didn't work either. Now I'm wondering if maybe my motherboard is installed at an angle, though it's all tightly screwed in. The GPU (RTX 3060 Zotac Twin Edge) isn't particularly heavy or long, and while the sag is visible, it isn't drastic. Is it safe to leave it like this, or should I be concerned? I'd really appreciate any advice here. Also, I can't post pictures but have linked to another thread with some images.

From what you've described, that angle seems pretty normal, and it sounds like the PC is functioning well. If your computer works fine, there's likely no reason to stress about the GPU angle. Just keep an eye on it - as long as everything runs smoothly, you should be in the clear!
Yes, it works fine. I've just read various posts about GPU sag potentially damaging the PCIe slot, which made me anxious. Do you know why it won't lift up at all?
