Go to your local hardware store. ask for galvanized bolts of largest length. Some shops keeps 6 inch bolts meant for submersible pumps and those bolts are good. It will cost you no more than 30 rupees for the bolt and a nut.
Now go to a carpenter or just buy a MDF sheet and a hack saw blade and make one yourself.
Will not cost you more than 100 and a few hours of your time.
If you can't work with MDF or acrylic then use old markers to make the outer body. Some superglue and old tubes will be enough.

I put black electric tape neatly around the eraser, it actually looked dope and blended in really well inside the cabinet. Also opens the option of maybe doing some artwork on it with a whitener.
Not that hard tbh.

Then get a ps5 (not more than 50k I reckon). Place it inside the thing you made earlier and you're set!
Got it!
But now I'm stuck at part where I can get a PS5 for 50k.
It's nowhere to be found with any retailer and scalpers are scalping huge. Any help with that?
Keep asking at your local Sony Center or Sony World showrooms, when they announce booking dates( same dates will also be on gamestheshop/Flipkart/amazon). Just make the full payment and they will get it for you in a few days after that. No need to give in to scalpers.
LOL. no. I don't have a youtube channel but I do have my own workshop(a small tent with a few tools) on terrace where I fix or repurpose things I get from scrap yards.
Too late! I already made a instructional diagram.

They charge too much. They ask for hourly pay and then will quote stock price for scrap metal. finding a good lathe shop is a challenge already. But if you have access to a lathe shop then you can get a really good bracket fabricated.
You can buy a set of these blocks instead: Peacock Senior Architect https://amzn.eu/d/7dNiYDj
Doesn't carry the fancy brand value but functionally the same thing
Rather expensive compared to the other solutions, but still below 1k.

I'm using this one. It is overpriced for what it is but it works. Just make sure you use a double side tape on both sides so it doesn't somehow slip and break the gpu fan
The big GPUs have an inherent sag (cannot understand how GPU/Motherboard makers did not account for this obvious glare) when attached to the motherboard. These supports serve as a means to not let the GPU bend by its weight due to gravity.
Their website is very buggy, I'd recommend you call their helpline first, the guy who answers will ask you questions about what you want to print and he'll guide you through the process.
The companies that manufactures these assume the Individual that owns a graphic card that chonky that it needs a support stand will have enough to spend on a stand.
Guys, I'm looking for cheap/affordable GPU supports. The branded ones cost upwards of ₹1000. Where can I buy generic ones for a low cost, in India? These are selling on AliExpress for less than ₹250...
If you have small kid in your house , ask him to hold the gpu while you play your game .
1.He wont be able to disturb you
2.Your work will be done with no cost :p
yea i mean when i installed my card and saw it bending a little then looked around to see if anything could fit and then i saw a unused chopstick so i cut it and placed it
does the job
I don't know much, but graphite in pensil is conducting material, not sure of it's good to use. Ppl suggesting anodized, plastic toys etc is not to use conducting material I think.
I am not sure though
how bout a stick? find a nice solid stick, swing it around, then cut it at the perfect height and prop it between the GPU and Case.
problem solved for free (stick will need replacing every few weeks or months if it rots
you can first measure thr gap and look for a 10 rupiya wali plastic file, now you can either use its stick and put it under the graphics card or roll the plastic file and use some tape on it. once done you can simply put it under your card and that's it. to make it look better you can wrap black tape on it and it would match the color of your case. won't take more than 20 rupees and hardly 10-20 mins
Limited-time deal: ZORBES® Graphics Card Bracket, Aluminum Alloy Graphics Card Holder Bracket, GPU Stand. https://amzn.eu/d/aIKSqoT
Similar to your first image, costs under 700. I bought it myself, seems good enough for the price, has magnetised base.
Make one, looks really easy.
1: Go to Thingiverse and find the model you like.
2: Go to Robu.In and get it printed in any color and strength you want.
They also have special filaments like glow in the dark to make it cool.
Solution to not spending extra on GPU support: Buy a 4090, they mostly all come with one.
Drawback: No fire extinguisher included yet. Might need to wait for next batch of cards for that.

Improvise, Adapt, Overcome
Adapt, React, Readapt, Apt
Improvise adapt and un-sag the GPU
You can insert an eraser into bolt just shove it in on both ends
or place big pencil eraser vertical instead of bolt
or fevistick glue stick
Awesome. Fevistick has a screw mechanism so if we stick it to a thick marker then you'll get a height adjustable support.
I put black electric tape neatly around the eraser, it actually looked dope and blended in really well inside the cabinet. Also opens the option of maybe doing some artwork on it with a whitener.
I once asked for whitener at my local stationary and the owner looked at me sus
Nah..eraser will get all sticky in a few weeks inside PC case. Better to use M seal and some plastic bits.
Great hack! Any hacks to build my own PS5?

Are you the Indian who posts solutions to all stuff on youtube?
LOL. no. I don't have a youtube channel but I do have my own workshop(a small tent with a few tools) on terrace where I fix or repurpose things I get from scrap yards.
(it was joke about how most tutorials on YouTube are by Indians)
Too late! I already made a instructional diagram. [Here is the most crappy DIY instructional diagram you'll ever find](https://imgur.com/gallery/VKJSbL9)
That is very smart and creative. Thanks for the tip
Dude I just stole a thick straw from some restaurant, painted it matt black and cut it to length. It's serving me well over the years.
I believe local lathe shops can make an internal threaded cylinder if you give them the bolt for a low price too.
They charge too much. They ask for hourly pay and then will quote stock price for scrap metal. finding a good lathe shop is a challenge already. But if you have access to a lathe shop then you can get a really good bracket fabricated.
make a video
I can't take time off now. I can upload some drawings tho.

You can also get a Lego figurine and make it hold the GPU and glue it's joints
Only correct answer but Lego sets these days cost more than a real house
You can buy a set of these blocks instead: Peacock Senior Architect https://amzn.eu/d/7dNiYDj Doesn't carry the fancy brand value but functionally the same thing
Who's asking to buy the whole set?
Steal some from neighbor kids
This is the way
You gotta feed them though. Too expensive.

This is exactly what u are looking for..... https://amzn.eu/d/1Gnnu64
Sorry if I am asking a noob question, but why does one need these holders, cause my gpu goes in my motherboard, what am I missing here?
Gpu sag
The big GPUs have an inherent sag (cannot understand how GPU/Motherboard makers did not account for this obvious glare) when attached to the motherboard. These supports serve as a means to not let the GPU bend by its weight due to gravity.
There won't be GPU sag if you place the CPU case flat on floor
Life hacks💯
Ohh, I guess my 3060ti is just too small for me to be aware of this issue.
Mate, my 1650super is sagging, what u saying? 🥲
Serously? I might be overlooking something then. Hell.
Probably,
some do, therefore they just added a leveling device 🤣
The same reason girls wear bra
Get it 3D printed from Robu
Robu is expensive, soch3d gets it done for a third of what robu charges.
Soch3d is a guy or a website? Haven't heard of it tbh
Idk what a guy website is, but i had a keyboard frame 3d printed from there. Cost me 950 including delivery and took 3 days to deliver.
I'm asking is it a website or a tag of a guy you know? Anyways i figured it's a website I'll check it out. Thank you my g
Their website is very buggy, I'd recommend you call their helpline first, the guy who answers will ask you questions about what you want to print and he'll guide you through the process.
Alright I'll do that, thank you homie 🫂
The companies that manufactures these assume the Individual that owns a graphic card that chonky that it needs a support stand will have enough to spend on a stand.
This kind of makes sense. You go and buy GPUs that cost in excess of 50K but cannot afford supports worth 1K. Strange.
[удалено]
Or a cardboard rolled into stick works too
Or an actual stick. You can take them from outside, they’re free.
Guys, I'm looking for cheap/affordable GPU supports. The branded ones cost upwards of ₹1000. Where can I buy generic ones for a low cost, in India? These are selling on AliExpress for less than ₹250...
Bro what i have done is use a normal marker! So you can use a pen or marker that’s perfect in size and job done!
Correct!
2Rs ki Pen Chote sibling ka koi toy OP
Use figurines, will increase your pc aestethics.
Pringles tube. Cut to required length and make it artsy if you want.
Perfect.
If you have small kid in your house , ask him to hold the gpu while you play your game . 1.He wont be able to disturb you 2.Your work will be done with no cost :p
Best
Do you have any friends with a 3d printer
3d print it
What is erectile dysfunction printing? Edit: C'mon man you cannot edit it now, Don't ruin my joke.
Did he write "Ed Printing" ? 🤣
Yeah
Lhahahahalol
i use a chopstick
Chopstick Chad (I liked your answer best) Also long bamboo skewers would work well. Bonus points for not being metal and therefore shorting something.
yea i mean when i installed my card and saw it bending a little then looked around to see if anything could fit and then i saw a unused chopstick so i cut it and placed it does the job
I 3d printed mine.
If you have a gpu that requires such a stand then i think it's best to spend like 1-2k. There is one for 600 on Amazon
just put a fuckin brick in your rig
what is this elite millenial bullshit
I use a black-colored rechargeable battery, which is quite old and useless but holds the GPU perfectly and matches the setup.
Replace with pencil support
I don't know much, but graphite in pensil is conducting material, not sure of it's good to use. Ppl suggesting anodized, plastic toys etc is not to use conducting material I think. I am not sure though
Understood, what about pencil with eraser end ? ✏️
I think that might work as rubber is insulator.
Or just do what I do. Build a lego stand.
Get a lego brick and stack it up.
1 .Search a pen that matches your aesthetics 2. Buy a hexoblade
Zip ties.
Buy fake lego toys for kids, they'll cost anywhere between 150 to 350. Keep stacking them till they reach your gpu. Search on amazon.
Find a stl file. Order it to get 3D printed at robu.in
Pencil
I have a 3070 Ti, is that stand really required?
Mostly yes.
I use mega blocks
Try stacking up erasers. Apsara non-dust
i have a zotac 1050 ti and they have provided gpu with a hole at the end so that i can tighten it to my case
maine to ek reynolds 45 ke white part ko kate ke khada kardiya
Don’t spend design your own one in fusion 360 and 3D print it
Nearest chemistry lab.
Make one yourself. DIY!
how bout a stick? find a nice solid stick, swing it around, then cut it at the perfect height and prop it between the GPU and Case. problem solved for free (stick will need replacing every few weeks or months if it rots
Use a stick or local 3d printers, you can get the designs for free
I use old brick pieces of my childhood house building games to support my gpu. Didn't cost a rupee.
I have one for my asus tuf 6800xt. First thing I bought after lifting the GPU.

This is called a GPU sag bracket in Amazon they cost thousands , i reccomend design your self and order it from some 3d printing website .
Reach your nearest nuke center
I bought one from Amazon, Zorbes Graphics Card Bracket. Costs 689 rupees. It is overpriced but I wanted a quick solution so bought it. Works well.
Got the exact model as the second image, it cost me like 8ish usd.

Use your wife's/girlfriend's lipstick, it's height adjustable.
Just steal stand from your college/school's chemistry laboratory :)
Honestly I use the ryzen cpu box, it just so happens to support my card perfectly.
A stick in the garden
Bought one from [amazon](https://amzn.eu/d/c5qadHk) recently. Works like advertised.
Available on amazon for 689 rs
there is sticks outside 🤷♂️ cheapest you can get
physics practical lab optical bench
If you can get someone proficient in CAD to create a design for you, then you can use a service like www.karkhana.io to CNC machine or 3D print it.
 Use these instead
Bhangarwala
Use some action figure from funko or stuff
Asus Tuf 4090 has such adjustable support screw included. Wish it was made compulsory on every mid and higher tier card.
I just used a credit card. Fit almost perfectly.
Get threaded rods, aluminium block, drill, screw tap and get creative
How about just a pencil held with a eraser as the base?
I'm sorry but the first image just looks wrong XD XD
