Vertical GPU orientation - the sky's the limit

adding these riser cables won't slow the transfer rate right?

It shouldn't. But keep in mind, anytime you add a connection you have a potential for resistance, dirt or somthing coming lose

Always been a bit skeptical, even a small lag or delay in these riser cables on 1 GPU, when multiplied by x amount of GPU plus software issues , wouldn’t it affect the overall performance?

LTT did a thing on adding over 20 feet of riser extenders and the GPU lost like, 2fps in benchmarks overall.

I've done several builds now with 400mm long 16X riser cable without any latency issues.

Or you just buy a case that has the GPU set like this no warping no stress on the PCIe slot

If you don't mind importing stuff from China; flying elephant on aliexpress has some pretty neat vertical mounts that have more 'traditional' mounting methods.

The quality of their products are very good and the prices are reasonable just don't get the free shipping, it took 6 weeks to ship to central Texas.

I just got one of these off ebay for $26+shipping about $33. Not bad, will install hopefully this weekend in my corsair 900D.

Silverstone Temjin / Raven series did this a long time a go and are actually the best cases money can buy in terms of flexibility, longevity, space and cooling.

You have to run a ribbon riser cable for your PCIE. I don't think this is a good idea. I know plenty of people run them though.

How come? If in terms of performance, JayzTwoCents already did a video of that debunking it.

Will do, not sure if I'll have time, but if not this weekend, then next for sure.

Well at one point they were less reliable, but after popularity of crypto maybe that has changed?

It is kinda fugly llooking the back of a PCB. Id rather add a custom backplate. The vertical I see as more of a water cooled thing.

Finally had time to do a quick switch this past weekend, sorry for late post. The bracket is 4 slots. I have my GPU, El Gato, and Soundblaster ZX. The closest slot to the motherboard was unusable due to the riser cables connecting to motherboard. Might be easier if I had a 90 degree riser cable, so I had to improvise. I only connected 1 m3 screw to hold my gpu onto the bracket. There is a slight bend as you can see in the picture. I'm constantly monitoring this every day to see if the bend gets worse or holds. My idiosyncrasy screams at me when I see that slight bend but not much I can do. Overall, not bad for 26 bucks and a few riser cables. I wish I had support underneath the pcie slots though.

I'm going to tear down again to fix tubing and route as I needed the PC this week for work.

Purchased vertical bracket from this guy on Ebay if anyone else wanted to try this mod. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vertical-G...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649

CoolerMaster make a vertical, dual slot GPU bracket that fits in a standard 7 slot space.
It looks great, the downside is loss of slots.

Vertical mounting exhaust the heat up and takes the stress of the PCie slot. But I don't like the ribbon cable
