Please help! Vertical mounting.

[EvanM]

Im trying to mount my 2070s xc ultra vertically to my nzxt h510i which only has a 2 slot mount. I cant find a 3 slot adapter that converts to 2 slot. Please help! I already ordered the riser before realizing LOL

Yeah vertical mounting is a really bad idea for the cards cooling. As the above poster said, don't do it unless you enjoy much higher temps on your card.

Does vertical mounting really affect it that much? I use a Cablemod vertical mount for my gigabyte RX 5700, and I haven't noticed much higher temps unless I use the stock fan curve from AMD (which is a garbage fan curve imo).

The cablemod custom mount moves the GPU nice and far away from the side panel, so it can breathe. The case that OP has would put the GPU right next to the side panel and suffocate it.
