Display card vertically

[simpleauthority]

I recently watched an LTT video where they used some sort of accessory to display their GTX 1080 in a showcase setup, vertically so you could see the fans and front plate. I don't have a cooler master case, but rather a corsair case. Is there any way I can similarly display my card?

The nice, clean way requires your case to support a vertical GPU mount.

 

If your confident in your case modding skills, you could modify your case to support a mounting a GPU vertically. I saw on Youtube that someone cut/removed their normal PCIe slots in the typical positions and drilled some holes to mount their GPU vertically in a case that doesn't have official support.  Down side of the mentioned method is now there is no support for other PCIe cards like NICs.

think you can use a PCIE riser ot adapter thats angles then mount the GPU in by screwing into the fan grill on the back if its in position to do so, or drill your own mounting holes

I'm trying to find some cases that support vertical GPU mounts but can't find any (that said, I didn't search very hard and I can search some more later on), would you mind pointing one out to me?

its also good to search on LTT for other threads that may have been made about the topic.

I mean, the Cooler Master Mastercase series supports their vertical mount which can be bought separately for ~$50 USD I believe. That's the easy way, that doesn't really require modding as such.

Thank you. I don't use LTT that much, sorry about that. I will utilize that next time

unless your wc the card dont do this unless you have decent clearance between the side of the case and the cards fans, you will throttle your gpu with excessive heat, this is from experience. I think Gamers Nexus did a video on it but im not 100% sure it was them.

 

Also if you do go ahead, the cooler master vertical kit mounting kit is nice (and comes with a decent riser), i have used it in a build i did for a friend, quite an easy mod on a non coolermaster case, even with limited tools

About that cooler master mounting kit, I can't find it ANYWHERE on ANY site. Nothing. Do you possibly know where I could find one? BTW I'm in the USA.

newegg had it but list it as out of stock also.

it is doable without the kit (fun to mod yourself anyway) so have a look around the net till you find a vid by a good modder and have a crack, good luck either way :-)
