Ive just installed 2 ASUS GTX 970s and they clearly seem to be leaning downwards towards the front of case.
Is this normal ?

The more I look at it the more they seem to be bending downwards.

mm.. I'm not 100 % sure what You mean, but if You saying that Your card is like sagging down.. that's normala in a way..this depends on Your case, GPU's weight etc. If You worried, You can get some kind of support system - jusy diy soem sort of a tube with clups to hold the card.

more than often it's nothing to worry about.. unless You transporting You PC somewhere - it that even it would be wise to take soe heavy elements out.. (from time to time I read that heavy heatsing damace motherboards, GPU got out of contact..) but as mentioned, if Your PC is standing still - don't worry =)

p.s. drop a photo out here =) to see how it looks maybe You worrying too much..

yes its sagging down towards the front of the case.
The case is standing vertical still. its not being transported or anything.

ill see if I can tie up the suspended sagging part with the top of the case, or something.

I was just worried that it might slowly damage the internal parts.

This will break your motherboard in half :) Just kidding.

It's normal - make sure the 2 screws on a back bracket (on a chassis) keep the card firmly.

hahaha Smicha. dont jinx my new computer :D
I reinstalled the cards and tightened the screws a little bit more. They definitely seem more straight now.

But Ill stop worrying about it now....... Back to Octane :ugeek:
