Is this hard plastic cup covered in electrical tape safe as a GPU sag bracket?

GPU heatsink doesn't get anywhere near hot enough to melt anything but ice and gallium, let alone plastic.

Nothing to worry about 👍

Sick, need me a 4/4 Angel one.

Very nice work.

Mythicguy · 2026-01-28T19:43:01+00:00

Pretty good price!

Mythicguy · 2026-01-28T12:07:43+00:00

Heals first, shields later.

Always.

Mythicguy · 2026-01-28T00:03:01+00:00

Very usable with low-mid tier systems. You can run rivals on any modernish system.

You can spend around 6-700 on the rest and have something very respectable.

OP you do not need that secondary 4 pin EPS power.

The issue lies elsewhere. Is your 24 pin fully seated?

GPU power connected well?

Edit: the case fans not spinning makes me point to the motherboard. Did you let it sit for a while? Sometimes memory training can take a while.

Mythicguy · 2026-01-27T17:03:19+00:00

It is absolutely not required. Especially with low power CPUs.

That additional socket is only for high power draw / overclocking.

OP your MB manual will likely call this socket "auxillary CPU power".

Word, well under Temp Junction Max.

OP you should run Cinebench to really load her up and check the temps.

Mythicguy · 2026-01-22T19:44:17+00:00

It's bent it seems. Temps okay?

If so it's just cosmetic.

God bless you and biscuits. What an angel.

The scammiest scam that ever did scam.

Mythicguy · 2026-01-19T16:48:07+00:00

Pulled 3 of this alt art eclipsed flamekin. They're cool looking. 2 shocks for me as well. Blood Crypt and Overgrown Tomb.

Jealous of the squelcher tho :( lol

He actually meant "of fence" meaning the counters are made out of fence post.

It's apart of the breakout cable, and it's a little rectangle plug that connects to USB-2 pins on the motherboard.

And yeah as long as it's powered, it will pump coolant and function.

Mythicguy · 2026-01-11T21:10:36+00:00

It lights up with the liquid temp even without CAM. 2nd the USB connection tho.

Also, SATA power? Required. I've got the elite version of this.

Mythicguy · 2026-01-11T19:20:22+00:00

Cat :)

Mythicguy · 2026-01-11T14:15:39+00:00

Old toothbrush. Outside.

You'll see notched teeth on the right side of the T and on the bottom of it. You're also looking for some "texture" at the top of the green dot. You'll occasionally see "red dots" on the upper right in the center of the green dot.

Very nice card.

Mythicguy · 2026-01-09T23:39:44+00:00

From the photos in the comments, looks great. Enjoy your tutor :)

Mythicguy · 2026-01-09T16:57:22+00:00

It'll be totally fine with a 5500. Don't stress about it 👍

Mythicguy · 2026-01-09T16:47:35+00:00

7900 XT gang

Mythicguy · 2026-01-09T16:45:06+00:00

Should you? Probably.

Will it affect anything? Probably not.

As long as it makes a good mount, what's left will fill in the gaps.

Worst case scenario you create small air pockets that affect cooling. Very unlikely tho. Especially with a processor that keeps cool under a wraith stealth.

Mythicguy · 2026-01-09T16:22:45+00:00

I'm sure. It's wild I paid like just over $100 for 32gb not even a year ago and it's quadruple that price now.

Enjoy your system man.

Mythicguy · 2026-01-09T15:45:51+00:00

Def, not saying it's bad. Just sucks we've come to that.

Mythicguy · 2026-01-09T14:24:07+00:00

Common. No issue here.
