Yeah. I got one and it’s a beast. I had to design and print a support for its ass to keep it from sagging.
I switched to a server-style case which sits horizontally exactly for this reason. The sag will only get worse.
I’ve been using one of these 4U server chassis. Of course it is in a rack with some other equipment. I’ve been quite happy with it; lots of space.
I’m using a sandwich style case with the PCIE port at the top of the case and the 3 scews for the slots are at the bottom. It basically pushing the card up and backwards into the PCIE extension cable’s slot. No ass sag, but I can tell there’s a limit to how much it would be able to handle like that. I’ve got a 7900xt (not xtx) so it works for what I need right now.
I’ve printed one as well for mine, but I’m interested in yours if you would care to share it :)
I’ll get it shared tomorrow. It’s designed after a bottle jack but is completely threaded to allow for adjustment and doesn’t have any of the handle components, obviously.
I may be misinterpreting what you’re describing, but it kind of sounds like you’ve reinvented the machinist jack.
Not throwing shade, it makes sense and there’s a reason that machinists the world over use them to tackle the same sort of problem of how to support sagging parts- it’s simple and it works. And coming up with the same solution shows that you have a good understanding of the issue and how to tackle it.
Just pointing it out because I love the overlap between different fields and hobbies, and maybe if you didn’t already know that machinist jacks were a thing you’ll find inspiration for a version 2.0 if you ever feel the need to make one.
I’d also like to see your version when you get around to sharing it.
you got no idea how much i miss those.
Miss my old purple and grey packard bell with windows 3.11
Just makes me think prince of Persia and atomic bomberman. And minesweeper of course.
This one is from Sapphire and it came with an anti-sag bracket. My 3080Ti from MSI did too actually.
I need to be clear that my intentions for that graphics card are sexual in nature
I got the 24gb model last August. Laugh a little Everytime I boot up half-life alyx and the game says not enough vram
I think it’s just because it’s not an Nvidia card the game is freaking out. Game runs just fine.
wow it’s not the dwarf toploading ps2 either.
I love this card! I put it in the Xproto L case and it looks amazing.
Damn boi, that’s a thiccccc boi
