Redditor uses 'ticking time bomb' vial of gallium to stop their GPU sagging
'It was the only thing I found that had almost the perfect height.'
Gallium is a casual indie racing game released on PC in August 2025. Despite the straightforward premise, the game has generated unexpected attention in hardware circles after a user repurposed actual gallium - the metallic element - as a makeshift support prop for a sagging graphics card. The liquid metal's melting point and physical properties made it suitable for the task, though the approach remains unconventional. The anecdote highlights both the game's niche appeal and an interesting intersection between gaming peripherals and materials science, though the game itself remains a modest indie racer on PC.
