Hey everyone! I just finished building my first PC, but I've noticed that the GPU is sagging a bit (you can see it in my photo). I'm looking for some affordable solutions to prevent future issues. If anyone has recently bought a budget anti-sag device or has suggestions, I'd love to hear what you recommend or even links to products on Amazon!

You can easily find GPU support options by searching "gpu support" online. If you're in a pinch, even a stick from outside or some LEGO can do the job! Just tape it underneath to prop it up. Just make sure it’s secure so nothing slips into the GPU fan!
You can definitely get these for a couple of bucks on Amazon. Just browse through a few listings and you’ll find something that fits your needs.
I actually used a stick from a tree in my work PC for years! It was the perfect height after I trimmed it down. Sometimes the simplest solutions work best!
Here’s a link to a good one on Amazon: [this](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BZ87YT7S?ref=cm_sw_r_cso_cp_apin_dp_6BD3WKS22TGN9PJHVRKY&ref_=cm_sw_r_cso_cp_apin_dp_6BD3WKS22TGN9PJHVRKY&social_share=cm_sw_r_cso_cp_apin_dp_6BD3WKS22TGN9PJHVRKY&csmig=1). It’s one of the cheaper options, so it might be worth checking out!
That looks like a solid option! I'll add it to my cart.
There are several options on Amazon for under $10 – just search for "graphics card holder" or "PC anti-sag for graphics". You'll find a lot of budget-friendly options without any fancy lights.
I looked, but most seemed either really expensive or just weird shapes. Do you think the simpler ones work just as well?
I just saw someone use a medicine vial as a prop! It’s a creative solution that might work and you might already have one at home.
Seriously, you can find them for a few bucks on Amazon. If you want something even cheaper, you could use a roll of toilet paper!
Or just stack some LEGO bricks if you have them lying around!
I wouldn't want anything to accidentally fall into the fan. I don’t have LEGO, though.
