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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

It's not perfect, but it seems to work well.

My current graphics card isn't very heavy, but after hearing about the sag issues I decided to just spend $10 to put my mind at ease. As far as I could tell there are two different types of support mounts, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. A stand seems to hold the graphics card at the correct height better, but my biggest fear is that it will slip off and get stuck in the graphics card or case fans. The holster-style mount definitely looks nicer and has less risk of damaging the fan, but the design relies heavily on getting the case screws nice and tight. If the screws are loose, they may come loose due to the weight of the card. So keep that in mind. A small flaw I found with my setup is that when loaded, the bracket flexes outward to the point where my graphics card pops out from underneath. This is because my card isn't wide enough and it's resting on the very edge of the rubber feet. From the looks of it, the mount supports some of the card's weight, but it just doesn't feel as strong as it could be. I might try bending it a bit to allow my card to rest more securely on the bracket's legs. Those are my thoughts at the moment. If anything changes in my situation, I will definitely update my review.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Legacy model
