Hi guys, I am a new computer builder. I am concerned about my video card's mounting. I believe I mounted it correctly (I used screws, made sure everything was plugged in, etc.), but am concerned if it is falling out. I know it is a stupid question, but I'd still like some reassurance. The computer is performing perfectly, but looking through the side panel window I see the video card is not completely horizontal. Is it okay if the GPU is leaning to the right a bit? I'd estimate 10-20 degrees. Thank you for the help! I really appreciate it.

Its not unusual for graphics card to be slightly bent under their own weight, particularly if it has a beefy cooler. Its fine, just a symptom that the PCIe form factor was never intended for any hardware that would require significant cooling.

Thanks for the help everyone! I can't find anything to prop it up, but it is running alright, and if anything goes wrong I know how to fix it. I just wanted to make sure it was alright to be running, etc. Thanks again!
