I have an Aorus RX 5700 XT, which is a huge GPU, and it sits perfectly level, I did not have to forcibly bend the product for it to sit right like a few other reviewers mentioned.
My only complaint with the product is the cable that is supposed to plug into the motherboard. I tried looking for an answer for a while before I bought this product and couldn’t find any clear answer so I hope I can help someone with a similar situation. I have an Aorus Z390 Pro Wifi motherboard which does not have the Gigabyte proprietary 3 pin ARGB connector, but instead a standardized 3 pin ARGB connector. The included cables were long enough to reach the ARGB header located at the top right of the motherboard (I didn’t use the lower one because I would have to shove more cables behind the PSU shroud), however, the 3 pin ARGB connector that is supposed to work for the other brands of motherboards were extremely loose, so I could not plug this product directly into my motherboard.
To solve this issue, I purchased an ARGB splitter cable and plugged it into my motherboard header, and directly plugged that into the cable for the bracket, completely leaving out the included cable that adapts to different motherboards. If you do this, I recommend using the included cable connection holder because for some reason, all the Cooler Master cable connectors just seem to be loose.
**If your motherboard has a jumper for your ARGB header, make sure it is set to 5V and not 12V, or you will burn up this product.**
All in all, great product, looks great, it syncs with Gigabyte’s RGB Fusion software, besides having to purchase a separate cable for my motherboard, no complaints, easy to install!

As for the support, the bracket is solid and will not give at all. It's the exact length of my Strix 3090. Ignore reviews saying it doesn't support a 30-series as you can clearly see they installed it wrong. To install this properly, mount it while your case is HORIZONTAL on a table and the bottom hole of the GPU and the top hole of the bracket should share the same screw.
I never review things but was so pleasantly surprised by the build quality of this and the extra mounting parts that I had to recommend it.

Possible fix: Jerry-Rig a pulley & hook system with a cable to “lift” the hanging or drooping edge of the GPU
Real Solution: Coolermaster GPU Bracket with RGB
I bought this for 34 bucks which is around the ballpark for other GPU brackets but this one comes from a reputable company & had ARGB lighting. Opened up the box and all the parts needed for a install were present. I simply removed 3 nuts from the peripherals/GPU rear bracket & installed this in place. I used my original screws but the supplied screws also work fine, they were identical/industry common thumbscrews. The bracket itself is of thick carbon steel & appears a powdercoat or thick paint is applied, well done. It’s not aluminum and has no flex to it.
Installed in place, plugged in the ARGB cable to the header on my motherboard, no extensions or plugs or adapters were needed. It’s a basic 4 pin ARGB (3 pins active, one pin blocked or not present). My ASUS motherboard recognized this without software or downloads, it simply controls it and matches all the lighting on the case. I didn’t take a pic after I changed the color of the ARGBs for the case but they all work in tandem, nothing special needed. RGB is great but why did I buy this:
The damn droop I was having on this heavy EVGA 3080ti FTW graphics card - Now, It’s completely gone. The bracket comes with a smaller vertical bracket with thumbscrew used to set the height/offset required to get your particular GPU at the needed height to prevent eventual damage to your precious GPU. I set the height I needed, eyeball measured it and bam, done. I took some pics with a ruler/triangle scale to show the end result but trust me, this thing is cheap (relative to a 1,500 graphics card) and it simply works WHILE looking good. I bought this with my own cash, no association or relation to the Coolermaster peeps.
RGB added .0788fps to my gaming sessions, I think.

Top reviews from other countries
Aesthetically, design/materials wise, ease of use, overall strength (all fantastic) and the LED light was really just a bonus as I mainly wanted to simply protect my GFX card/MB (naturally) but I have to say that the LED beam like design is really cool as it's understated and simple but looks really elegant and wonderfully bright and colourful!
I really like the design, which is thoughtfully constructed of premium feeling materials and simple to setup and you have a choice of which way the L-Riser is pointing to best suit you chosen card (GTX-1280-TI) ...and height adjustment too!
I was *extremely* surprised they didn't include a small silicon rubber pad on the L-Riser (or choice of for best fit) as naturally anything that spins produces vibration and noise so a small rubber square on top instead of shiny (slippery) enamel covered aluminium would do a lot here because:
A) It would dampen vibration from the 3 fans in the card and any residual vibration coming from the rest of the tower (I use Noctua anyway which include removable chassis dampers as standard)
B) Provide a better grip and more forgiving surface to hold it in place considering most GFX cards have peculiar curved shapes around the fans so a shiny flat aluminium surface only touches with no grip?
C) On the GTX-1280-TI with Corsair Case the mount has to be at maximum extension to clear its overall form (perfect fit) but providing a strip of small adhesive silicon bumper sizes would provide more flexibility to refine the position and grip and also likely fit a wider choice of GFX cards too!
Naturally, tiny silicon bumpers are inexpensive, so it's easy to D.I.Y. but; obviously I'd prefer to have a bespoke aesthetically matched part rather than wasting time trying to find something suitable but I'll consider that option as it improves it further!
Regardless, this is a fantastic well made GFX card riser, it feels sturdy, looks awesome and provides excellent support and peace of mind - groovy!

Soporte Robusto: Una de mis mayores preocupaciones con las tarjetas gráficas de alta gama es el sagging (hundimiento debido al peso). ELV8 proporciona un soporte firme y confiable, asegurando que mi GPU no sólo se vea bien, sino que también se mantenga en una posición óptima.
Iluminación ARGB: La tira de iluminación es sin duda la guinda del pastel. Se integra perfectamente con el resto de mi configuración ARGB y añade ese toque extra de personalización que me encanta. Es brillante, pero no abrumadora, y la posibilidad de sincronizarla con otros dispositivos es una ventaja definitiva.
Instalación: Fue sorprendentemente sencillo de instalar. Las instrucciones eran claras y todo encajaba perfectamente en su lugar.
Diseño: El diseño es moderno y elegante, y se complementa bien con cualquier estética de PC. La calidad de construcción es excelente, como es de esperar de Cooler Master.
En resumen, si buscas una solución efectiva para el sagging de la GPU y al mismo tiempo quieres mejorar la estética de tu PC, el Cooler Master ELV8 es una inversión que vale la pena. Es funcional, visualmente impresionante y construido para durar.
A solução foi desparafusar a peça e montá-la de forma invertida (com o L na parte externa), assim a superfície de contato fica um pouco mais longe da ventoinha e próxima ao limite da placa, para que a superfície não encostasse na pá.
Fora isso, o suporte é bastante rígido e firme. A barra é metálica e um tanto grossa. A peça que faz contato com a placa é plástica e poderia ser feita de um material melhor, além de ter uma superfície menor para não interferir com as ventoinhas.
Imagino que placas muito grandes, mais largas que o espelho PCI, terão algum problema para fazer o suporte funcionar sem contato da peça com as ventoinhas.

Dieses Sagging ist schon rein optisch sehr unschön und was dem Motherboard an Schäden droht vermag ich nicht einzuschätzen.
Aus diesem Grund suchte ich nach nach einer optisch und technisch sauberen Lösung und bin bei meinen Recherchen auf den ELV8 gestossen.
Andere Halter kamen nicht in Frage, da sie entweder Gefahr liefen in den Lüfter zu geraten, nur eine L- statt einer T-Form haben, zuviel Platz durch ihre Breite verbrauchen oder magnetisch sind wie die 2te Cooler Master Variante (Gehäuse ist durch seine Netzteilabdeckung nicht magnetisch).
Die Montage ist relativ einfach und der Halter sitzt soweit an der Karte, dass ich den verschiebbaren Winkel nicht weit nach oben schieben musste.
Wer ein Be Quiet Gehäuse besitzt muss für die Rändelschrauben die Löcher am Halter etwas erweitern (durch ein- und ausschrauben), ich habe in diesem Fall die beim Halter mitgelieferten Rändelschrauben verwendet (funktionieren 100%).
Leider versperrt meine Soundkarte den unteren ARGB Anschluss (Stecker könnte etwas kleiner sein) und ich musste auf den Oberen ausweichen (Asus Rog Maximus Formula XI).
Hier stellt man schnell fest, dass sowohl das Anschlusskabel als auch die Verlängerung etwas kurz geraten sind (Full Tower).
Abhilfe bietet hier eine Verlängerung von Kolink.
Die RGB Beleuchtung konnte ich leider noch nicht testen, da sich der PC noch im Aufbau befindet (hierzu gibt es aber ausreichend Videos auf Youtube).
Positiv:
- Halter ist sehr stabil und optisch ein Highlight
- T- Form
- RGB Beleuchtung
- Zubehör: 3 Schrauben, Adapterkabel, Steckersicherung gegen Auseinanderfallen und Adapter
- z.B Soundkarte kann noch im unteren PCI Slot verbaut werden (ist die PCI Karte klein genug passt sie
sogar hinter den Halter).
Negativ:
- Kabel plus Adapterkabel reichen nicht bei einem Full Tower wenn der Anschluss oben auf dem
Motherboard liegt.
- Stecker könnte etwas kleiner sein (siehe oben)
Alles in allem bin ich sehr zufrieden mit den Halter und kann diesen wärmstens weiterempfehlen.
