Need help mounting 3060 vertically!

[Fishex9980]

I’m struggling to find parts to mount my RTX 3060 vertically on my corsair 4000x case, looking for any help thank you. (And tips on how this affects airflow would also be greatly appreciated).

You can either :
1. Buy a PCIe riser cable then use the vertical mounting the case came with

2. buy and use an aftermarket vertical bracket & PCIe riser cable

The difference  :
For #1 : It 's cheaper in cost, but will put your GPU face to face with the side panel / glass, and your temp will suffer by some amount.
For #2 : It's more costly, but your temp will only drop like 1-3 degrees. Or at the very least not as much as #1

Example of aftermarket bracket :

They all come with atleast PCIe gen3 riser cable.
Read the product details, and check the compatibility with your case first.

Yeah i saw those but i ordered the case online so i’m not too sure if it has a specific attachment for vertical mounting, do you know if it does?
