What a calamity 😂. Forget the bracket for a moment. You've installed the gpu and tightened the gpu screws in a sagging position. Therefore every time you tried to lift the gpu up, it sprung back down into the position you installed it in The way to do it is to lift the gpu above level before tightening gpu screws so once you let go it's more less level and then tighten the support bracket to help it stay level in the future
Look I even double tried again right now but you do know the mounting holes on the bracket are in a fixed position so I literally can't screw them in any higher
What I'm on about has nothing to do with the bracket at all. The problem is that as you're tightening the screws on the gpu(not the bracket ones) you're not lifting the gpu up on the right hand side. Therefore you are fixing it in the sagging position. Right hand side should be above level position so once the gpu screws are tightened and you let go of it. It drops to level ish If you're "running out of hands" to do it. You can find some random object to force between the gpu and psu shroud. Then tighten gpu screws, tighten the bracket in place, remove the object
@@Boria0 we are talking about the same thing I didn't mean card holder. Even if I lift the GPU higher it still sags because of how heavy it is and it's in the same position because the mounting holes are fixed
@@Top3Entertainment Sure the holes are fixed but there's some tolerance on them. If there wasn't light gpu's would sag just as much as the heavy ones because there would be installed in the same exact position to the milimeter without the possibility of any movement at all In reality heavy gpus sag because of that tolerance. But the tolerance is not only to the downside but to the upside also. So by lifting it as high as possible before tightening all of the screws you should end up much closer to level than you have I'm not saying you can get it 100% level but better than what you did in the video. The way you did it guarantees it to be sagging Personally I'd just build a support from lego or something or go vertical 😅
I got that same bracket with my Sapphire Pulse RX 7900 XT. Was pretty fiddly trying to install it, almost had to drill out a rivet in the back of my case that was hindering install but managed to get it in there in the end. Does a good job reducing sag so far along with the other anti-sag mechanism built into my case near motherboard backplate. That little block behind the screw bit at the end of the bracket can move up and down too for fine tuning it.
GPU's becoming to heavy for the pc case mounting bracket in the back, here you can see in bending, the pc case metal at the gpu mounting part needs to be more sturdy, i'd say about 2 millimeters thick at least.
It's not a GPU installation video but a video installing the bracket for this certain gpu. I'm factoring in some people might use this extra bracket for another GPU they have. Do you want me to say make sure your 1 pcie 8 cable is plugged in , 1pcie 8 and 1 pcie 6+2 cable is plugged in, 2 pcie 8 cables are plugged, 3 pcie 8 cables are plugged in, 1 12 vhpwr to 3 pcie 8 cables plugged in, 1 12 vhpwr to 4 pcie 8 cables plugged in, make sure not to use pig tails if possible plus all those combinations. Now make sure to install your HDMI cable, HDMI cable and display port, HDMI cable HDMI cable HDMI cable display port, HDMI cable HDMI cable display port display port, display port, display port, display port display port , display port display port display port, display port display port display port HDMI. Now factor in some have USB c ports, some have extra HDMI and display ports, VGA and also some people use adapters, some people also have 5 volt 3 pin RGB cables. So it was easier to say all wires to include everyone
persoanally, I put the braket, but the GPU feels so sturdy, I don't think it is needed. Maybe if you move your PC around or you have your PC siting on your desk that is not very sturdy and moves around. But when it clicks into the motherboard, it just doesn't want to move.@@Top3Entertainment
I cant stand that support bracket at all. Not only is it flimsy and doesn't do the best job at preventing sag but it can also scratch the gpu (cosmetically). I have a few cards so that's my perspective on this. I recently got one of these for a decent price and just made my own that supports the very end of the card and rests on the bottom of the case. Works brilliantly. I had a Hellhound 7900XT/XTX before getting rid of them and they had a very easy to set up effective solution as well. A base with a rod and an arm that holds the card on the end. Asus has a screw magnetic mount solution too for their TUF/Strix cards too that works pretty well. This anti sag solution is meh for what is a beast of a card.
Well I agree with I guess it's better than nothing and if they made one that made the GPU price more expensive I wouldn't be happy with that either. Do you sell them ?
@@Top3Entertainment I have used a couple for builds I've done for friends but I also have a couple PC's in the house and have a habit of holding on to my GPU's and CPU's than selling them lol. I like comparing them too and making some videos just for fun. I got a Hellhound 7900XTX a couple of weeks ago open box for $800 and than seen a Nitro+ open box for an extra hundred so I swapped it. I used to have a Nitro+ 5700XT I really liked before selling it during the crypto boom for a profit so wanted the Nitro+. This things a beast for sure. I just didnt really like the support bracket haha
@@Top3Entertainment Oh I see sorry lol misunderstood you. No I just made a custom piece of finish wood I had from work painted black that's the length of the bottom of my case to the bottom of the GPU , 2.25 inches long (5.5cm) with a small rubber pad on top. The other end essentially just rests on it. Nothing complicated.
Third person I saw say this and I'm baffled. If anyone wants to send me pics on discord I would appreciate that. You can technically take it apart and paint it but I would probably not recommend that
Same here.. the under of my cards all scratched up from that worthless bracket. i've bent it outwards a tad also cause it likes to make contact with the end fan if its too far back..
It kinda sucks, gonna see if my case came with anything a little longer. Building in a Lian Li 011 dynamic evo. Two of the screws to mount my motherboard ended up unscrewing the standoffs from the case, so one middle screw and the bottom left corner aren’t being used to mount the mobo. Should I take out the motherboard and try to put another standoff underneath? The other seven screws seem to be pretty good but idk
The case screws I have are shorter than the ones in the box. First time I installed, I managed to get it just right pretty easily, but second time it was a mess and I ended up using the screws in box. I had to reinstall it as I forgot to pull out the blue HDMI DP covers and it bent my case. The structure of this videocard is very sturdy.
It will be helpful if you put the case on its back when you install the GPU and the bracket- then tighten it while its perfectly aligned - as if no sag yet. At least this is how i installed mine But of course, it is a very heavy/beefy GPU - so in time it might still SAG.
you have no idea how much this comment helped me lmfao. I was tryna do it with the case standing upright like he did and got really frustrated when gravity was working against me. just a little bit of common sense goes a long way
Put the pc on its side, and you didn't put the bracket on right it need to be flush against the card to prevent the sag, I have this exact card, do better if your going to make a tutorial for people.
Idk why people install huge cards like these without putting the system on its side first, hope you like slot wear. you also barely put the support arm on are you cooked?
Fuck that bracket, the screws of my case are just too short. Just ordered a gpu holder from amazon, which will support the end of the card from the bottom. Makes more sense to me, this way it doesnt have a chance of sagging at all. The included bracket doesnt seem that well working to me
Which would you recommend the nitro or pulse. Aesthetic isn't a game changer and even so I think I prefer the sleek red/black of the pulse. £100 price difference and unlikely to overclock
Sounds like you know the answer lol. Either card is fine but if you prefer the looks and overclock capabilities then the nitro. But the main reason get a nitro over a pulse is the vapor chamber
@@GingerKid2k it just keeps your GPU cooler. The pulse will be more than cool enough but I'm just saying that's what your really getting your moneys worth for paying extra
If you play 1440p go for cheaper, if you go for 4k go for the more expensive cooler option. I tested the 7900 XT Nitro+ and I can tell you, in 1440p it is very hard to get the card hot, but in 4k the extra cooling is a must. 7900 XT has less power, but the same dimensions for cooler, but runs at 385ish W max and wants to get hot. The extra money will also give you more fps, if you like bigger better numbers. 7900 XTX will run 465w in 4k, I don't think it will ever reach that on 1440p resolution. Even on 100%, it doesn't use all power as the memory is less used and other components of the board. Hope you made the right decision. I returned my 7900 XT to get the 7900 XTX instead as the extra performance 15% or so, maybe more means better 4k fps which I want. I also send back a 2k monitor and looking for a 4k. Meanawhile, I am thinking if upgrading my 5820k system is worth it as in most scenarios, at least at the moment, it handles 4k just fine. Severly bottlenecks at lower resolutions and some bad performance in CPU heavy games like bf2042, it is still playable, but 100% CPU usage everywhere is what I see. My mb supports better processors, not for single core performance, but the multicore, but I am not sure if it is worth the upgrade at the moment as I am spending lots of money already. OH, I will opt out for Nitro+ as I like Saphire, I like the cooler design and performance, and it looks amazing in NZXT 450 Noctis case with red accents and red NZXT kraken x61 water cooler led.
Is that normal that my sapphire pulse 7900's dissipator is bended ? First time I see that on a GPU. Design and manufacturing quality seems very poor in comparison to other GPU i had in the past...
Making my first build. I’m using those same connectors, but they don’t fit in my psu. I’ve spent a fee thousand dollars and want to smash it all and off myself. I should’ve gotten a sabotaged SE pc:
@@Top3Entertainment thanks. My PSU only came with 2 cables/splitters, so I am trying to see if I can daisy chain them together or if I need to buy new cables.
@@Top3Entertainment i daisy chained for the 3rd connection because I only had 2 cables and I am starting to come to the conclusion this is why my screen occasionally goes black or has artifacting, especially on MK1 during cutscenes. But I tried to disable MPO and that didn't seem to help with the black screen occurrences a few times a day so it's possible for less glitches that it might need all 3. I thought i'd add this observation from someone who has had this card for a month with some slight issues. Otherwise, card is a monster when it works correctly
You installed it incorrectly! The screw holes in the bracket are tall so you have space to move it up, you screwed the screws right at the top of the hole, they should be in the middle or even lower.
@@Top3Entertainment I zoomed into your video, you have loads of space lol. My case screws are bigger than yours. Your video thumbnail shows the correct screw placement. If this is still in your rig and wasn't just for the video, put your rig on it's side, losen the 3 screws holding the bracket, then push it up as much as you can, it'll actually support the card then :D
How did you adjust the rgb on the card? Mine just didnt light up. Not with the argb Header and Not without the Header just in the Board via pcie. Is it bc my card malfunctions or because of my gigabyte mainboard?
Hello thanks for the amazing video and the review on this card, I am using this card in the Cooler Master NR200P Max case. As the case only supports vertical configuration for this card I was wondering if additional support is still required?
Either you turn your microphone way too loud or you should really change it because your voice is overloaded But since I don't know your setup, I can't suggest anything
This is not a prior install. I don't see anything holding that Beast GPU. You know that you will most likely loose your PCIe circuit in about a month max. Don't also work while you have the PC up position. You can really damage that beauty quite easily.
I am currently building my PC now and i also have the sapphire nitro 7900xtx been searching for videos on how to put PCIE cable to connect to my GPU. Please i need help. I have 3 PCIE cables and they have dual 6+2 pins at the end. Do i have to put all 3 cables and have it 8 pins per each cable and left the 6+2 pins on each cable just hanging out?
@@sandiego11 at 16:33 of this video you will the GPU and the wires are the ones your going to use. Look closely and you will see the other 6+2 are zip tied to the wire ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jCw0nqoup0Y.htmlsi=yT-W9Xh5FPjx_tlA
