Mounting GPU vertically.

Parkinson1NX · 27 Dec 2018 at 15:23

Hi all,

Hope you’ve all had a nice Christmas.

I’m wanting to put my 2080Ti Auros Xtreme AIO GPU vertically in my CORSAIR 500D RGB case, what is the PcIe adapter I’ll be needing?

Thanks for any help.

Search ocuk website for "PCI-E x16 Riser cable"

Cheapest is this one.. https://www.overclockers.co.uk/ocuk-value-pci-e-16x-riser-cable-inc-molex-power-cable-19cm-cm-14e-ok.html

They add a little lag though, depends how sensitive you are I guess.

I have my 1080ti vertical using the cable mod mount in the corsair 570x. if you get a rise cable make sure you get a decent one as they can have issues

My basket at Overclockers UK:

2 x Lian-Li PW-PCI-E38-1 High Speed Riser Card Cable Gen3 - Black= £61.99

Total: £132.68 (includes shipping: £8.70)

Looking at this one. Rather spend more and get what I pay for.

Just not two of them

Does it change the laws of physics?

how does it add input lag? All the reviews of the cable mod vertical mount have said it doesn't add input lag

does a 1m hdmi cable have less input lag compared to a 2m?
