Review on ๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ upHere Graphics Card GPU Brace Support Bracket - Anodized Aluminum, Single or Dual Slot Cards (Black), GL05 by Marcus Hardin

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Simple and Works - Internal Components

Simple design that works. The stigma on the side is noticeable but is easily corrected with some paint or a black marker. The white lettering is also reflective. This is the only and monumentally big minus on this thing. Even in the housing without LEDs, the branding is still clearly visible. The bracket contains 4 screws that are just under 1/2 inch long. They are way longer than you need. Standard PCI expansion screws are approximately 1/4 inch. They were just enough to screw through the bracket, through the PCI component, and into the case. The threads barely held. It is therefore best to use the supplied screws. The struts that run along the strut are made of foam. Installation is common sense. Install the GPU, screw in the top screw, place the foam pads, and then align the standoff under the GPU. Insert the screw through the bracket, the GPU, and into the chassis. The GPU should be resting on the standoffs. Make sure the stands are on the outer shell of the GPU and are not interfering with any of the GPU fans. Tighten the screws as needed, then close the case and test. The entire installation took less than 3 minutes. It is recommended to turn off the computer. The reason I bought this mount was because my GPU was starting to slow down a bit. Because of this drop, the fan was quite noisy when the GPU was under load. After installing the bracket, the GPU fell silent again.
