Vertical mount GPU

depending on the case, vertical mounting will have worse airflow than a normal mounting as it will be pressed against the side panel(in current trends, most likely glass) which in turn can affect temps.

 

It would look cool though. you can fully display the GPU especially if its RGB. though it will hide the back plate if it has any.

Im with the mentaility of "IF IM NOT SURE IF ITS ENOUGH COOLING, GO OVERKILL"

But will the vertical mount itself weaken or break after some time, or the GPU's connecting 'finger' will weaken or break after some time?

Sometimes vertical mounts have brackets that hold the GPU in place like a motherboard, unless you plan to move this thing around alot, or possibly bump it into many walls, otherwise you should be fine.

If you get something like that

it’s going on the place where the pcie slots are, this gives you plenty of space from the case side panel which not gonna affects airflow of the gpu. 

   @Whiro tag or quote will do the trick
