So i fell in love with the Corsair SPEC 06 RGB in white, and noticed on the Corsair video that it has support for a vertical GPU mount. 

 

My question is, which bracket will I need? Or does it come with one in the case accesories?

I dont seem to be able to find out much at all which is annoying to say the least. Looking at the case it has proper vertical PCIe slot covers, so the Coolermaster and Cablemod brackets wouldnt work as they replace the horizontal slot covers, so im a tad confused

It definitely doesn't come with the needed accessories.

I gues you'd just have to buy a Riser cable like this one

But even with that it doesn't have the optionaly (but recomended none the less) mounting holes on the PSU shroud. That would mean, that your GPU would only be held in place on the back. Sure that will work, but don't even think about moving the case around with the card installed that way. Not even taking about GPU sagging...

 

All in all I wouldn't use it with a vertically mounted gpu (without some case modding)

So if i drilled a few mounting holes in the PSU shroud it would be fine yes? 

 

Speaking of temps, I dont play the most demanding games anyway, and I only play at 1080p. So temps shouldnt really be an issue, plus I like to keep my room on the cold side anyway so.
