Hi all
I bought my PC from PCS earlier this year (see below specs) but didn't get a graphics card at the time (used my 1080), you know... chip reasons etc. anyway, I finally got a 3080 GPU from PCS and it arrived today.
However, no Supporting Arm was included in the package. While waiting for it to climatise I've been searching online to see if I need one or not. I've read bits about reinforced PCIe slots etc. so might not need one. As I've not installed it yet, I don't know if it sags or not, though I believe the MoBo I have has reinforced PCIe slots
Can anyone confirm if I actually need one with the below MoBo? When I ordered the 3080, the screen before the order showed a support bracket included (for free), I paid, then the actual order just showed the 3080. So not sure if they forgot to post it, or decided I didn't need it.
Many thanks.
