In Win 101 Vertical GPU Mount Help

[Enterprise12]

Im preparing to watercool inside the In-Win 101 Case

I want to vertical mount my GPU with a 360 rad on the bottom, but idk how clearance will work

 

all vertical gpu brackets i have seen use all 7 pcie slots, does anyone know if there are ones that occupy 5?

 

I was thinking of using the XSPC TX360mm Radiator or EX360mm Radiator with fans, but i dont see a way i could then fit a Vertical mount, but if it only took the top 5 pcie brackets instead of all, i think it could fit.

Anyone have any general ideas? ty

If you want to go hardcore get a scrap case (any old office pc will do), scavange pci-e bracket from it and make your own pci-e vertical bracket, mount it same way I did

you will have to dremel out some metal at the back of the case

This will work only if you watercool your card, and you will not be able to use ports on the front of the card cause it will be too close to the glass

Have a look at phanteks vertical mount. You might need to cut off a bit of it. 

it depends on gpu outs you want to use, probably dvi port (if you have one) will be blocked by the case

Gtx 1080ti are different. I have strix 1080ti and evga 1080ti and they are different

i only use 1 DP and 1 of the hdmis sometimes so that wouldnt be bad! i think this may be it.  Just gotta order the XSPC TX360mm radiator i think it was for the bottom, then im using a EX360mm on the top

Could use this

@Enterprise12 I use this one. It works fine and can be mounted high so u can use the bottom most pci slot for a sound card for example.

 

Kaislin GPU mount

 

This mount offsets the GPU further towards the front of the case, so make sure you will have the extra needed space lengthwise. Its also deisgned so that the GPu is set back closer the motherboard than most GPU mounts.

 

Be advised, setting the GPU up high, along with its closer than normal position to the motherboard means that it can be a bit of a mission to route the GPU to CPU tubing as they become very close, as you can see in the below picture.

it still looks to low, i would be using the in-win 303 case. the pcie brackets go to the bottom of the case, where i will have  a radiator and fans, so i need a good amount of height to clear those.
