i want to vertical mount my GPU what will i need for this?

[fireangel1996]

I'm going to be getting a case that you can vertically put in a GPU on it, what will I need to do this, I have never done this before and think it will be awesome :} the card will be a MSI GTX 1080 TI

You'll probably need a PCIE riser cable. Also wherever you mount the GPU just make sure it's secure.

It should work fine however I'm not entirely sure how to mount it vertically above the SSD slots if that's what your planning.

 

[fireangel1996]

should I get the other case I linked then?

 

[WildCard999]

Either case should work fine and I found a video that can explain how to mount the GPU better then I can.

Why try to mount vertically when the case is designed for normal horizontal mount??

 

[fireangel1996]

the second case I linked has a device to do vertical

If you want to vertically mount a GPU, get a case which is designed to vertically mount the GPU's. My case has everything turned 90 degrees, which faces the PCIe slots vertically, and all I have to do is mount the GPU like any other. In such a position, the GPU hangs a lot more naturally, and the weight of the GPU won't cause any sag.

If the case you are buying is turned vertically, then you don't have to do anything special. Just follow the directions the case gives you.

Edit: the cases you are looking at are not designed for vertical GPU's. Here is an example of one that is:

You'll find that SilverStone offers quite a few of them.

I don't see anything mentioned about such an option. Where would you plug in the cables if you did?

I found what you are talking about. It's not what I was talking about. They are calling the type you are looking at a "Floating GPU". It should come with everything you need in the case.

It might look cool, but the SilverStone 90 degree cases should have better air flow (tests in the past showed this). If you want a quiet case, check out the link I gave earlier with the SilverStone. The one you are looking at should work fine, however. It would look nice too. It's likely noisier than most.

Yeah, it appears Newegg is having technical difficulties. I had the same issue when I went back to revisit their site.

Just search for SilverStone 90 degree cases. They have quite a few now.

This is a lower end, but still good one: https://www.amazon.com/Silverstone-Motherboard-Mounting-Micro-ATX-RV05B-W/dp/B00LP3K1O6/ref=pd_sbs_147_2?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B00LP3K1O6&pd_rd_r=R7V7P0MTZNYXV7NT61GT&pd_rd_w=QLh1v&pd_rd_wg=tNfay&psc=1&refRID=R7V7P0MTZNYXV7NT61GT

 

[fireangel1996]

oh I see, what I want is it to be "floating" then where if u look at PC the GPU is facing outward, like where u can see the fans

 

[bystander]

Yeah, the only draw back to that, is the airflow will not be nearly as good.
