Problem w/ GTX 670 being to heavy?

Bemyguest7

I have a Corsair Carbide Spec 02 case with a Asus Maximus VII Hero and a Asus GTX 670 DirectCU II OC. I replaced my EVGA GTX 660 SC with the 670 and there is quite a size/weight difference...i'm experiencing the GPU actually sagging/drooping on the end. I'm worried that it will cause damage to either the mobo or gpu /both...Has anyone else had/seen this problem? Obviously I could rig some kind of support beam for it (lol) but that seams ridiculous.

Thanks for the help in advance!

as long as its secures on the back is OK.
but if you REALY want to have some support on it you can use a thin fishing line so its hard to notice it.

Ya ive seen a few guys do that...I think i'll flip the power cables over the card and use some fishing line.
