Description

This GPU brace is designed to work with a wide variety of video cards, but it is not compatible with all models-in particular, dual and triple fan cards are less likely to work because there is so little shroud left around the fans for this brace to connect with. Cards with oddly shaped fan shrouds (angled, rounded, etc) are also problematic. - It will occupy the two slots directly below your video card-the chassis you use must have slots there (most ITX cases are too small). - Any other cards located in those two slots below the video card must either be low profile or both shorter than 3.5" in length-no taller than the slot bracket. - Measuring from the slot retention screw holes, the adjustable mounting locations along the arm of the brace are located from 3.875 to 6.375 inches at half-inch intervals. The foot that extends up from the brace can be positioned at any two of these holes and can be oriented in two directions - for a total of ten possible positions. It is about 0.8 inches wide, there needs to be a clear, flat spot at least that large on your video card's shroud in the 3.875 to 6.375 range (measured from the screw holes on the video card's bracket). Puget Systems logo is relatively large and prominently placed. If you have a window on your chassis it will be clearly visible. There is a protective brown film on one side of the brace when it is shipped out, but that should be removed before you install it. This GPU brace is what we use in many of our systems to help support larger, heavier video cards. Modern video cards utilize large heatsinks to cool the GPU effectively and quietly, but they weigh so much that in some situations they can actually damage the PCI-E slot on the motherboard. This universal acrylic GPU brace fastens directly to the case and provides support for cards to help prevent them from sagging over time. Each brace is manufactured in-house out of 1/4 inch thick acrylic for main brace and 3/8 inch acrylic for riser.
