Vertical GPU mounting

catsrcool · 19 Mar 2017 at 11:07

I want to build my first water cooled PC and want a windowed tower case that supports vertical GPU installation. Any suggestions please.

Thermal take have a number of cases that allow you to do that, from the Core series or the view 27. I believe inwin are also releasing an updated 303 with that functionality

I have a ThermalTake Core X9, it is however huge!

Thanks. I could wait 8 weeks as I am in the process of packing and moving 120 miles away in the Midlands.

Do you mean upright or actually vertical? For the latter, you want the Silverstone FT series cases, with preference going to the FT02.

Thanks. I mean upright.

I assume that my options will be even more limited if I want USB 3.1 support?
I'm thinking about boards like the Asus Maximus Ix.

Lian Li PC O11, but it'll cost you as the bracket/cable is £70 on top of the £200 + for the case.

Wow, i've never really got a sense of scale for the larger Core series. Impressive!

Cooler Master sell a separate mount for GPUs in their online store (so not sure if I can link to it). Also not sure if it will fit in any case, or just theirs, but you could look into it. They call it "vertical graphic card holder".

Thank you I will look at cooler masters site.
