Vertical bracked + arctic xtreme iv

[JonaHUN]

Hello,

 

Short story:

 

I have a Phanteks p360a, 1080ti with arctic xtreme IV (3 slot down 1 slot up), ASUS PRIME X570-P.

 

The gpu dos not fit the top pci slot and the motherboard manufacturer forgot to disclose on their page that their bottom PCI 4.0 16x slot is wired only as 4x. So my gpu runs at pci 3.0 4x, hence a bottleneck. 

 

The stock 1080ti cooler was an msi armor (only fit for a 1070 standard in a freezer and one of the fan died on top of it) so I would like to keep the xtreme IV. My solution would be a vertical bracket.

 

Does anybody know any vertical bracket that could fit this weird sized gpu? (1 slot back 3 slot front)

 

Thanks for the help in advance.

the phanteks kit should fit fine:

there is at least 2 slots of space past the top of the slots in the 360.

I wrote it down twice. 4 slot. 3 down 1 up. I know I can buy brackets, but I do not know any of them can support a gpu with pci slot above the gpu. Most of them are rated for 2 slot,  if at all stated.

Thanks I was looking at that but I was hesitant because the box stated fit for a 2 slot gpu. My gpu is 4 slot 1 above the pcb and 3 under with the fans.

oh they way you worded it was weird.  so 4 slot gpu then.

 

if your case can even fit a vertical gpu on the side i dont think ive seen the pci mount ones with 4 slots. i no of a diy mount that has 4 slots i think i have it as im going to mount it in my antec lanboy case.

@JonaHUN the CableMod vertical PCI-E bracket (PCI-E 4.0 version available) will support a 4 slot cooler, the IO plate at the rear of the card is a 2 slot (2 slot IO photo attached), correct? If so you'd be all good to go.

Thanks for the fast reply and solution. Yes you are correct. The io is only 2 slot. I'll give it a try when I have the dough. I managed to jerry rig it by removing the top heatsink from the xtreme iv, and using screw spacers instead. Not ideal but workable.

Very welcome of course - and sounds like a plan!

They didn't forget.
