Vertical GPU mount

[shaz2sxy]

I have a Cooler Master MC500M

I am looking at the Cooler Master vertical bracket - MCA-U000R-KFVK00 (LINK)

 

am i right in thinking I wont be able to use any of the other PCIE slots? i currently have a Wifi card

As you can see, the riser uses up 7 slots (red). Unless you do some modding, all slots will be used up.

Realistically, you could cut off the top part (blue) and use the top slot for a wifi card (not that I would recommend that..). Of course check if the slot you will use for the GPU has plenty speed though.

Oooor.. You could just not bother with vertical mounting and have a normal PC, with better airflow and expansion slots you can use (plus, you have to check if you cooler won't interfere with your vertically mounted GPU)

He has a PCI-E x1 Slot as the first slot on his motherboard,if his Wi-fi cars is x1 PCI-E then he should be good to go after cutting the top part you marked.

I have a crazy high-end Wi-fi card and it only uses PCI-E x1,I have the ASUS PCE-AC88 AC3100,It does 750MB~1GB depending on signal interference.
