In my computer I installed a GTX 690 and I currently have a Corsair Hydro Series H60 cooling the CPU. Currently the tubes are resting on the 690 and slightly block the led logo and also don't make the computer look very nice. I attempted to move the tube so it rests sideways on the 690 but it seemed to be applying a lot of force and I felt it might break something off the PCB. Are the bits on the back of the 690 durable enough to take the pressure

I wouldn't really recommend it. It you are quite concerned, you could use some sort of video card support. From what it sounds like, you're un-necessarily straining your pci slot and your video card.
