I have an Asus Strix RX580 GPU and want to mount it vertically in my Be quiet dark base 900 pro (orange). There is the mesh area close to the front glass panel of the case (look up pictures to see what I'm saying), by the PCIe brackets, and I can mount it there with no problem, my only concern is would there be thermal problems because of the GPU being so close to the glass. Would it be starved of air? I have every fan slot filled with either the stock silent wings 3 or the Corsair HD Series RGB LED Case Fans so there is sufficient airflow, I think. Just would I see any temperature changes? Also, would I want to look into adding some sort of mount to hold the GPU up so it doesn't sag, cuz if I'm already modding then I'll make that too?

 

Thanks!
