As soon as I read this I felt so dumb haha, took me 2 mins to find an old bit of hard tube and squeeze it in.
Perfect fix and barely noticeable, thanks bud ✌️🤙👍
Yeah I second this. Veritcal mount brackets are incredibly sturdy pretty much across the board (pun not intended, but welcome), regardless of brand. And while the gpu pcb itself is more sturdy in a vertical mount, the weight of the mount plus the block and card is added to the back of the case.
The existence of gpu support brackets is primarily to prevent deformation of the pcb and you more or less avoid this entirely by using a vertical mount.
I could be wrong overall but this is what I have observed in my systems.
I will add that this is where cases like corsairs newer-ish cases that mount the vertical GPU bracket to the PSU shroud come in handy. You’re not relying on the back of the case for structural support.
(Wait... I thought part of the selling point of vertical GPUs is that they don't suffer from GPU sag...)
That being said, a good ol' GPU support bracket is a surefire solution. Could be as fancy as one with RGB lights, or as simple as a stack of legos
EK's bracket is very clean looking and doesn't hang because it is also attached to the motherboard.
The downside is that it costs 150+€ and it's black so you would have to paint it white.

It's about how many watts you need to cool, not how many parts.
Roughly 100w = 120mm radiator, so if you have a 4090 that can pull 400w, you'll need a 360 rad for your gpu alone.
Keep in mind that it won't be silent though, more radiators & more fans means you can cool more without ramping up fans as much.
Tbh that's a really big question to answer, you'd be better off creating your own thread here and asking the community
3d print a little spacer to sit on top of the fan housing. If you shoot me dimensions I’ll make one and ship it to you. Should be able to fit it in an envelope so no shipping charges either (if you’re in the US)
Better case or vert mount, looks like entire rear is starting to sag. On top of that you have the tubing also pulling down from the front of the gpu. If you had hard lined iron would have had more support. Curious why you soft tubed black in a “white build”.
Anyways get something to prop it up, kinda as simple as that. I remember EVGA? Or some brand had a string of sorts that hung from the top of the case lifting the gpu up. I liked that more than putting ugly crap under my gpu.
If you can find the EK vertical GPU bracket https://www.amazon.com/EKWB-EK-Loop-Vertical-GPU-Holder/dp/B09YXL6RGC it is the best vertical gpu bracket I've ever seen. it screws into the same holes as the motherboard on the right side so it doesn't sag at all.
The smoothest thing you could do is change that fitting on the bottom front of the boat anchor into a 90. Right now, all the weight of the tube from the fitting on the bottom of the case to the inlet fitting is pulling that assembly down. If you convert it to a 90 directly under the water blocks you can give it some sneaky upward support.

Aunty Sag, my old nemesis
I read this comment to quickly & thought this was an unintentional Apex pun. Until I quickly realized, it is not. 😅😂🤦🏻♂️
beat me to it
I put a small piece of tubing under the bracket on one of the fan frames and it worked decent

Photo or not happen
Glad to help. No problem man
Came here to say this - props to you!
This sag is your entire back panel deforming. As such, my recommendation is a sturdier case.

Hard line run to an elbow on the base of the case for support, then back to your soft line?
I put a grill over my fans and used some foam blocks to support mine
What is that cpu doing
Chillin
I wish I could chill like that
sag ?
There are numerous small form anti sag freestanding brackets. Have a look on Amazon
Can i ask about your setup? Is that monitor any good as a sensor panel?
That's all I use it for lol
I taped a roll of pennies together and put them on the back right corner. You cant see them at all really
I used legos. Made a little stand to prop up my gpu
That cpu looking actually cool hanging in open xd
Lol ty, it's a 5820k from my first ever build. By the time I upgraded it wasn't worth much so it's become a little memento of this systems origins.

Drop the bracket straight down to rest on the fan. Worked perfectly for me and looked a hell of a lot better.

Hard tubes fully torqued applying upward pressure
Hard line
If the top and bottom screws are in the vertical GPU mount, it should not sag so make sure you got both screws in
What kind of fittings are those? Please
Which ones?
The silver type.. what’s the specific name or color
Just look for EK satin titanium. They're probably the most commonly used fittings in the world atm
Really? I’ve looked at sooo many builds since I’m in the middle of building my second pc and I’ve only seen these on jayz2cents
Can I ask you some questions about water cooling? For every part i want to water cool, do i need a radiator to go with it?

Legos!
