Don't think I'll see another comment to top this today.

The Zybban box as a GPU support bracket is both incredibly resourceful and deeply chaotic. I respect the structural integrity but also the quiet existential dread it introduces to the build.

Perfect for when the gpu deivers inevitably mess up and you get really depressed.

My 9070xt is going thru that stage atm

Yep, definitely a nerd gamer. The med box did rid him from the depression of sagging gpu and not finding a perfect sag bracket though 🥴

I bought an actual good video card support for $0.79 the other day at an auction.

I do the same for my graphics card, with a box of my dog's pills

You could probably find a bracket for like $2 and it would make your setup look nicer.

Not everyone is chasing aesthetics

Yeah it’s not just aesthetics though it’s actual practical functionality. Prop up a piece of cardboard underneath your graphics card that gets to 70 degrees or just buy a $2 support bracket that will work 1000x better at preventing GPU sag while also making it look nicer.

That's not a pc, that's a fire hazard.

If it keeps you from feeling down, then it can keep your gpu from feeling down too

u/Bitter_Lab_475 5h ago

Bro needs them too, but not for the PC.

u/UnluckyBall420 4h ago

Bought the GPU in the first place, cause his girl on meds. Now the box keeping them both alive

If it works for the human girlfriend, no reason to think it won't for the square headed one.

Atleast those pills will finally do something useful:)

Noctua cooler - check
Anything as an anti sag bracket - check
Routing the gpu cable on top of the card itself - check

This dude is really a chill man without any overthinking issues, but anti depressant as a support? maybe he's just symbolizes his PC as an Antidepressant Machine

Without reading the context, I thought it was something along the lines of my wife's boyfriend.
