When you wanna test the brand new GPU before you vertically mount it. It’s a pair of disposable chopsticks cut down to length

Have to keep thanking people for posting these. I have not bought a tower case since the 20 series came out due to how the sizes were continuing to increase and these tickle my feels.

I like it. Shows you’ve been wiping your ass as it’s empty.

For the price Im paying for GPUs, much rather have the case on its side and mount it flush down into the slot. Last thing anyone needs is leaning issues on the GPU.
Anyone else notice that the cards just aren’t made with convenient places to support them? All of the curved plastic bullshit around the fans make it tough.

I don’t understand.. Cmon, people here spend 2k on the pc, get a gpu stand it’s 10 bucks
It’s my daughters computer. I had to cut off Peppa and Georges ear to get it straight, but it does a good job. Painted the GPU cover pink to match everything.
It’s an unused subway membership card that’s bending more and more each day, supported by a stack of post it’s that was brought to the perfect size. Works like a charm since 2022

Don’t have one, since I have this case: [Fractal Ridge](https://www.fractal-design.com/app/uploads/2021/04/Ridge_White_10_Left_Front_Above.jpg)

Can’t post images in comments but mine is held up by cd roms and a burger king pokemon card container, both from 2004

Let me 3d print a poop emoji to hold up my GPU. /s

The Sphinx himself is holding that card
I used an extra piece of tubing when I built mine and hid it behind the power cables

Can’t see it when just looking at it. And now I see how dirty my PC is… time to clean I guess

Stupid, but it works, considering how much I had to work with.

I haven’t gotten around to applying a nice stain.
Don’t know about shitty but it’s certainly DIY

Borrowed few Lego bricks it gets the job done.
Mine don’t need one.. It’s an heavy PNY model. Holds like an brick in place.

Does the bottom of my case count as a stand?
My gpu isnt big enough to require a stand😭

Grabbed a tape measure to measure the size I needed for a GPU support. The tape measure fit. The tape measure is now GPU support.

Just diy from noctua AMD mount and cassette from video camera 😂
Fishing line tied to the top of the case. Virtually invisible, has held for years and years.

Poyo Notice the cable I had to put under Kirby because without it he can’t even reach the card
No joke I have a TP roll as well.
Instead of cutting it the right length I just crushed it a bit.
