GPU sag fixed!

I use a PCI bracket, bit of a pain to install but its pretty stiff and looks decent

I have toyed with that idea, but I'd need a PCIe riser cable and not sure on the hit to the GPU temps?

Also be careful for if you have enough space due to the CPU cooler

I have no idea yet on how am going to get my 2080ti back out :D It took ages to get it in there (Evolv X case / Be quiet pro 4 cooler)

I remember the days when there was a standard expansion card length and the cases stuck to it. Really long cards came with a bracket that fitted into the case and voila no sag...
 
Shot in the dark here.... I've ordered the new corsair 4000x and I wanted to mount my GPU virtically but not sure on the clearance to the side panel as I went for the MSI RTX3080 Ventus and from i can tell its one thick boi! Anyone able to clarify as when I search specs of the case theres no such dimensions for the virtical mount.

You might be better off making a new thread in the "case central" section for that one. :)

Is yours the P600s ? I think the P600s inside is the same as the Evolv X

The Vertical mount lifts the GPU up pretty high

Yeah the P600S, think the only way I'm going to get a vertical GPU is to get the Vertical Kit that pushes it further back to the motherboard and then get an AIO?

I was looking at AIO reviews this afternoon

Am Thinking of getting the NZXT Z63

(Bit a pain as i just spent £70 on buying five PH-F140XP fans about a week ago)

You would have to be completely off your rocker to spend £220 on a 280MM slim radiator AIO, especially one which you can't even replace the fluid in so it will be a useless brick after about 6 years. :p

This one looks like much better value. Half the price and servicable.

Yes. :p

To be honest I'd struggle to spend even £120 on a 280MM AIO though. I got my 240MM re-fillable AIO from OcUK for £50, a Rajintek Orcus Core. Any more than that and I'd rather get a huge air cooler.

But I get that aesthetics play a part as well, and the hideously expensive unit you linked does look pretty cool!

Like a smartwatch for your PC case. :D

You seen the price some people pay for just a few corsair RGB fans these days :eek:

Could buy one of your cars for that :p
