GPU orientation

[Jerombolo]

What is better for the GPU (saging, bending, etc.)? To have it mountet vertikaly or horizontaly? Maybe I'll design a wooden case like DIY Perk has done.

Well if you mean to have the motherboard flat or raised up, then flat and the GPU ontop would cause less sagging

Well, yes. But there are cases which have the Mobo mountet 90° fliped

[Mao_Zedong]

Well if you want the GPU to be as straight as possible, then it being gay would obviously be a problem.

It is definitly better to have the GPU in a vertical position, probably also for cooling in some cases.

Hmm, yeah. I'm planing on building a case. Started a thread, you might have already seen it

[iamdarkyoshi]

it would be even better if you used a riser cable. but they are not cheap for the good ones.

[Monkey Dust]

If you're designing and building your own case, you could design in a graphics card support. Back plates for the GPU reduce sag too, and of course it depends what card you're using, some sag more than others.

I'll look into it

A riser cable?

My Asus 770 sags a bit, when I lay it on the table, where the connections are, it's 1-2mm off the table

Ahh, a PCIE extension cable?

[iamdarkyoshi]

essentially. but unshieled ones are crap.

And where would I place my GPU if I'd use one? You're answer doesn't seem to answer my question

I would place it vertical and use standoffs to mount it to something. This way the mobo can be wherever...
