I want to vertically mount my GPU. Do I have what I need?

Hey everyone,

I want to vertically mount my GPU (since the white goes nicely with my aesthetic) and I wanted to know how. I have these two parts:

Mount: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA4M56UW7354&ignorebbr=1&source=region&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleMKP-PC&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleMKP-PC-_-pla-My+Goods-_-Accessories+-+Case+%2F+Rackmount-_-9SIA4M56UW7354&gclid=Cj0KCQiAg_HhBRDNARIsAGHLV52FxY_RjhWnyv2lqxwTWrthJihI3SHVEmBGAFGRKUPPEhL7ZunAMMIaAgVAEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds
GPU: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/3JdFf7/msi-radeon-rx-570-8gb-armor-oc-video-card-rx-570-armor-8g-oc

Do I need anything else? I’m getting good temps rn, would vertically mounting it hurt anything?

Yes, that's all you need.

As far as temperatures, it really depends how far back that mounting accessory places the GPU from any side panel.
If it's pushed right up against a panel (tempered glass or otherwise), as a lot of mounts do, then yes, it may 'hurt' in the sense that you see higher temperatures.

Otherwise, no. It's form over function, an aesthetic choice as you mention - so it is what it is.
