4.2. General Installation Steps
- Prepare the Surface: Ensure the area on your PC case where the bracket will be placed is clean and dry. For optimal adhesion, clean the surface with alcohol (70% or higher) and allow it to dry completely.
- Assemble the Bracket: Depending on your chosen mode (vertical or horizontal), assemble the support arm to the main stand using the provided screws.
- Apply Adhesive: Remove the protective film from the bottom double-sided adhesive pads and attach them to the base of the bracket.
- Position the Bracket: Carefully place the bracket inside your PC case, positioning it directly beneath the graphics card.
- Adjust Height: Use the adjustment screws to raise the support arm until it makes firm contact with the underside of your graphics card. Ensure the card is level and fully supported without excessive upward pressure.
- Secure the Bracket: Press down firmly on the base of the bracket to ensure the adhesive creates a strong bond with the PC case surface.
The bracket's large base and strong double-sided adhesive provide secure attachment and stability.

6. Maintenance
The GPU Support Bracket requires minimal maintenance.
- Cleaning: If necessary, gently wipe the bracket with a dry, soft cloth to remove dust. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Adhesive Check: Over time, if you notice the bracket's adhesion weakening, you may re-secure it or replace the double-sided adhesive pads. The adhesive is designed to leave minimal residue.
7. Troubleshooting
- Bracket Not Sticking: Ensure the installation surface was thoroughly cleaned and dry before applying the adhesive. Apply firm pressure to the base for several seconds after placement.
- Graphics Card Still Sags: Re-check the height adjustment. The support arm should be firmly in contact with the graphics card, providing gentle upward pressure to keep it level. Ensure the bracket is positioned optimally to distribute the card's weight.
- Compatibility Issues: Verify that your graphics card thickness (up to 75mm) and the available space in your PC case are compatible with the bracket's dimensions (refer to Section 3: Specifications).
- Obstructing Fans: If the bracket obstructs graphics card fans, try adjusting its position slightly or using the horizontal installation mode if applicable, ensuring no critical components are blocked.
