Support for Graphics Card

This is a clever idea, and I'm surprised I never saw one of these before. It's a support for a graphics card. Unless your computer is sitting with the large side down, the graphics card can tend to sag. A simple support - supports it. Of course, a wooden dowel would also do the job. The one I saw on an English YouTube channel had RGB LEDs.

For graphics cards, but the door to other applications is open to imagination. Thanks Jerry.

In 2017, my previous ASRock motherboard (Intel 7th-gen z270) came with one.

Yeah -- - they've been around for quite a while.

I got one when I built Thanos - but found the card was held very securely by the motherboard with no flex.
As there is no vibration inside the case (or outside for that matter) - my concern remains Zero, and the support went back to Amazon.
