Cooler Master ELV8 GPU Brace with ARGB Strip Lighting - Universal Graphics Card Holder and Brace

It's difficult trying to find quality as theres just so much pure trash on the market (whether its designed in the U.K., U.S.A., China or otherwise; but I'm really impressed with this and so glad I chose it over others (and I have *really* high standards being a designer) but this is awesome!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!

5 Stars - Easy to Install and Looks FantasticThe Cooler Master GPU bracket is exactly what I needed! It was incredibly easy to install—took just a few minutes—and it provides solid support for my 4080S GPU, which is not light at all, eliminating any sag. On top of that, it looks amazing in my setup, adding a sleek and clean aesthetic. It’s both functional and stylish, which is hard to beat. Highly recommend this for anyone looking to keep their GPU secure while enhancing their build’s appearance!

I must admit I bought this for aesthetic reasons more than anything: AMD and Nvidia are pulling Crossfire and SLI so my newly upgraded PC only has the one card in it and I wanted something to fill the space below it.Among the new bits I've used is the Cooler Master 'mini Wraith Ripper' MA620M air cooler, so it was a natural progression to fit this brace, not that I am a CM fanboy, but just for the sake of balance- if you catch my drift.It's nicely made and includes everything you could need to fit it- an extension cable if you need to stretch a bit, and even three thumbscrews in case you don't have any- more about them in a minute.The striplight is nice and evenly lit, does show vivid colours, is addressable, and is quite bright if you turn it all the way up.Fitting the bracket is a doddle, helped by the fact that the fixing holes are mounted in a 'T' shape on the end of the bar and not in a raised 'L' like so many others. This means that you will probably not have to share holes already used by your GPU, which is far better as doubling up means a weaker grip unless you do it up really tight- and run the risk of stripping the thread (especially if you happen to be me and are pretty incompetent when it comes to things like this, lol).So yes, it does provide very good support for your GPU- the 'foot' has a good range of movement and is easy to adjust, no tools needed. The bracket looks great too, it must be said.So why not five stars?Well a couple of reasons really. Firstly the thumbscrews which come with it are very short- if you do need to double up it would help immensely if they were longer, which I was surprised they weren't, they are in fact shorter than the ones which came with the case I used, a Corsair 570x.Also it marks very (too) easily where you screw the adjustable foot up. If you look closely at the picture of it fitted n the product page you can see light marks where they have screwed it up, and then moved it to a different position.This happens no matter how carefully you tighten it, OK it's only light marks but it shouldn't mark at all in my view- especially as it occupies such a prominent position right at the front.I have seen some pretty bad examples of this in press review pictures, OC3D for instance.The 'foot' bit could use a rubber pad on it, it's only hard plastic and could mark your GPU. Also it would offer a bit more grip so it won't be prone to move laterally- which is the one direction it's not braced in. Even if it only moves a little it could possibly foul a fan, but also it really triggers my OCD if things are not perfectly aligned...Also- not the brace's fault really, all the braces I have seen have the same thing: you will lose a slot directly behind where the brace's main body goes, unless it's a half-height card you want to go there.This could cause problems so do bear that in mind.So, close but no cigar- very close.Nearly perfect but just a few niggles.I would buy another one for sure.Edit: Looks the nuts with a Nitro+ RX 7900 XTX
