Universal Acrylic GPU Brace

Attaches to the PCI covers on your case and allows a extra bit of support to prevent gpu sagging, where the weight of the gpu pulls down on the PCI-E slot on your motherboard over time. If you got the space for it (it takes up 2 PCI-E slots right under your GPU), it's a great bit of investment to keep your motherboard in great condition.Attaches easily (comes with a set of #6-32 or M3x0.05 screws) to your case (you can keep your PCI slot covers on your case), and you attach the separate support piece at the end with the included #6-32 screws to secure the support once it's made contact with the gpu. Hardest part of this is either, a) getting at your PC or, b) taking off the protective cover from the acrylic pieces. Seriously, it's easy to set this up. And since you'll be using the supplied Puget screws, you can storage the old screws that used to hold in your PCI covers to your case.Not a huge fan of the "Puget Systems" logo being so prominent, but it's their design. So to the victor goes the spoils, I guess. I'd rather use this than other options (not that there are many at the moment) to provide extra support for your GPU.You'll get the following in your package:Ziploc bag containing instructions, both acrylic pieces, and a smaller ziploc bag with 6 screws (2x #6-32 3/8, 2x #6-32 5/8, 2x 10mm M3x0.05)

Does exactly what it says it does with pretty solid build quality. the only caveat being that it's gpu specific so if you have access to it prior to purchase I'd highly recommend. If not a good reference would be a ruler or flat piece of material to run across the bottom of your card to see if it interferes with fans or heat sinks. Asus strix 980 ti is the card I was trying to brace but it ran right across all the fans below.Pros : cheap and does the trick without getting creative.Cons: doesn't work for every card and would say for most large cards.

I recently upgraded my graphics card to the EVGA GTX 980Ti FTW edition and was worried about sagging in the future.I first saw this bracket on one of Barnaculse's videos and figured it would be perfect.I bought it from amazon to save on shipping from pugent (yay prime) and to get it quickly.It comes in a small zip loc bag with a single sheet of clearly written instructions and the necessary screws for mounting. It's made of solid acrylic; 1/4" thick for the long body and 3/8" for the small part the graphics card rests on. The logo is etched in, so no removing it via chemicals. Sanding it would probably work but would leave the bracket with a frosted look instead of being clear. Another solution (and one I'll likely do in the near future) is cover it with vinyl. There's plenty of colors around; so it's a good way to customize one's system further. I'll probably use yellow to match my pc's yellow and black theme. If the logo wasn't so big and prominently displayed this wouldn't be a big deal, but for the price of this thing, it should be either small and unobtrusive, or ideally, optional via a decal.Installation was fairly easy, though the screws on mine took a good amount of force to screw in. I was able to position the bracket to hold up my graphics card perfectly and evenly. I think there should be a small piece of non-slip rubber on the edge of the graphics card support, something else I'll be adding to mine.It's ok for the price, but could be about $5 cheaper. There's options on thingverse for those with 3d printers.

This product rocks! I was honestly expecting the Acrylic to be the weak point of this product, but it's super sturdy and adds a super cool look to my build. LEDs shine through it without any difficulty, and although mounting is tricky I've seen much worse. Overall, 10/10 would purchase again!

Pros: Once you get it installed it actually does do what it's supposed to doCons: You'll need some extra tools and a trip to the hardware store to get some longer screws and nuts.I had no problem installing the long part, the included screws work fine for that. The "riser" piece that butts up against and supports the video card was a pain.First off, the piece isn't threaded - they include machine screws to secure that piece and expect those to thread/grab the plastic as you tighten. Problem is, one of the screws sheared completely off when it was only halfway installed. Tried extracting it with a pair of vice-grips with no luck - that thing was in there tight. Luckily (I guess?) the sheared off screw was in the hole on the wider part of the riser piece so I was able to drill a new hole in line with the blocked one.Then I used a drill to make the holes big enough for a 6-32 screw to clear through.Then I took a trip to the hardware store and spent a buck on some longer screws, a couple washers, and a couple lock nuts.Only then was I able to secure the riser piece.Two hours later it was installed, albeit slightly modified, and my R9 290X with an Arctic Accelero Xtreme III was braced and no longer bending.For those of you not handy with tools, stay away from this one.

Brace works as designed, came on time, etc. but it looks nothing like in the pictures.The brace is not clear all the way through, it has some kind of a pseudo wood backing. That's fine though, no big deal but what is a big deal is that the logo of the manufacturer is on the other side- meaning that when I installed it it looked like it was put in backwards.Maybe I got a defective one but even still, that's sloppy work.

Yikes... little expensive but after having my GTX 970 sag a bit I was scared so I had to get this for my 1080! Looks great and very durable and I guess worth the buy!
