hi all, noob here so just wanna ask some opinion from you all regarding this. google show no much info, might have using the wrong keyword :

as per titile , i got my self a ASUS R9 280x and quite happy with it.

using the usual way to install the graphic card (fan face down).however, after install into the mobo, i notice that the graphic card's PCB seems like slightly "bengkok" due to the weight of itself.

so, should i be worry about this ? sorry 1st time get such size punya gc...
should i get my self a custom backplate so my 280x will have a backbone to straighen back its PCB ?


appreciate if any one can share ur experience on this. thanks in advance.


### pic later night upload if required for further visual understanding...

slight bending for graphic card is normal due to the weight.

Use thin black thread, tie to your GC & top of your casing...so it's almost invisible & support your heavy GC...
