Posted August 13, 2020 Hi everyone I have just ordered the Phanteks Enthoo 719 case, arriving over the weekend. I have also placed an order for a Sapphire Radeon RX 5700 XT Special Edition card, which is on backorder currently. I am planning to mount this graphics card vertically. The Enthoo 719 case supports dual system mounting - an ATX/E-ATX board in the top and a mini-ITX board in the bottom. The case provides vertical mounting options for both systems, i.e. both in the top and the bottom. I am only going to be using one system in this case, however plan to have additional PCIe cards (other than the graphics card itself), and hence want to run a riser cable and mount the graphics card vertically in the lower vertical GPU mounting area shown below. I am getting a TRX40 based motherboard, and so I am okay to use the lower most (of the four) PCIe slot if needed for connecting this riser cable. The case does come with a vertical GPU mounting base that I can use to mount the riser card/cable. However with this approach I won't be able to mount the bottom case fans which also go in the same location. To provide better airflow for the GPU, I would like to have bottom intake case fans in this location and have the vertical GPU on top of the fans. I am trying to explore if there are any slotted (or with vents) plates/brackets available that I can place on top of my fan and then use that to mount the riser card/cable (and eliminating the mount that Phanteks provides). Just based on some quick checks of other photos I could find, the height of the fan more or less matches the height of this base. This way I might get more or less identical height to mount the card in the slots. I would prefer support for the graphics card from the bottom and not let the card supported merely by the rear side of the case, and that's why I am looking for some kind of plate or bracket which will make this possible. Any ideas or thoughts? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This might not be exactly what you had in mind, but @Mnpctech does sell a Fan mounted GPU bracket. although it would mean the card sticks straight up. https://www.mnpctech.com/products/mnpctech-stage-2-vertical-video-card-gpu-mounting-bracket "Put as much effort into your question as you'd expect someone to give in an answer"- @Princess Luna Make sure to Quote posts or tag the person with @[username] so they know you responded to them!

The bracket seems interesting. One option might be figuring out a way to use that bracket in the back of the case. Other is like you mentioned, the card is mounted vertically with the long side standing vertically. I will measure the dimensions once the case arrives and decide.
