Inverted ATX and GPU?

Gdourado · February 6, 2016

Hello, how are you?

I am wondering if an inverted ATX design like the new corsair 600C has any influence on GPU sagging?

Current high end GPUs sag a lot on normal cases because of the weight of those massive air cooler with lots of heatpipes and metal fins.

Usually all that weight hangs below the slot.

On an inverted ATX, the weight sits above the slot.

Would that prevent sagging in any manner?

Cheers!

No, it just sags the other way. People worry about GPU sag but it's not a big deal.

If it worrys you, you could always grab a horizontally mounted motherboard case, corsair, Caselabs and Thermaltake make them to name a few

In atx I only know the HAF XB from Coolermaster and a new case by lian li.

What are the corsair and thermaltake models?

Cheers

Just checked your build log, you've dumped a lot of cash in to it, why did you go from 2x 970 to a fury x btw? less performance unless youre grabbing another x soon.

As for the cases:
