Hello Everyone, I have a “Gigabyte Super Over Clock GEFORCE GTX 680” video card, it has a huge heatsink/Large Vapour Chamber, nine heat pipes and five 40mm fans (yes five) my problem is that it is so heavy that without support you can see it trying to bend the PCI-E slot down, I saw something a while back about some type of zip tie that screws to the top of the Mobo via the chassis screw and to one of the lower Mobo chassis screws, you then join the zip ties and tighten them, this holds heavy cards up so they do not bent the slot or Mobo.
If you are wondering why I need them even though it is screwed to the back of the case please look at this link and you will see why, it's also 303mm long so it likes to twist. http://hothardware.com/gallery/article/1974?image=big_gb-680-soc-4.jpg&p=1 You can be forgiven for thinking Gigabyte would automatically supply these ties.
Anyway I would be very grateful if someone out there that knows of these zip ties could let me know where I can get them or leave me a website link.
Many thanks and a Happy New Year to all, Bill.
