my card sags, will it cause damage to the motherboard, i dont mind the look or anything, but will it damage anything? thank you for your help
 
Solution
It would depend on how bad the card is sagging, but it takes an extreme amount of weight hanging off to damage the board. The graphics card would probably have to be RMAd first.

This is an example of too much bend: http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/attachments/img_9787-jpg.62577/
Notice how its curved.

This is relatively normal: http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/attachments/gpu_sag_comp-jpg.62578/
See how the card is still flat.

mine isnt that bad, you can see it actually came loose there, mine hasnt done that, how long would it actually take to warp the board anyway?
