How to mount your GPU Vertically WITHOUT affecting cooling! 

I buried mine hundreds of feet in the ground. Works great! The cable cost a thousand bucks though.

What kind of temps do you get. I'm wondering if it's an investment

Linus Tech Tips actually put a computer in a fridge and measured temperature/performance if you haven’t seen

It will not work, a refrigerator works on the basis of cold things stay cold. It cannot fight heat. Do what jay does, just put it in a cardboard box with a portable AC unit.

@@BenjaminSodos well it cool my hands if Im out in the fridge, and I have a constantla 34-36 Celsius... sooo what?

Sam Chaney Phenomenal!

Impeccable calculations!

Don't forget to account for L-Space. Where are you going to fit all the books? Does anyone have an orangutan?

Let´s make it a quantum gpu mount so the gpu is not vertical nor horizontal, but both and none at the same time, that must look cool as fuck

Little known hack, just duct-tape a paperback copy of Flatland to the rear of your GPU and your FPS will rise exponentially.

How stupid this comment is..

Can't believe Jay didn't think of this before.

Genius

I have two hot RU-vidr girlfriends and I am the best RU-vidr ever and YOUR savior. Good bye dear eklvewnrfiure

Hi. Does anyone know a case as short as omeshify C or shorter but higher so I can fit 420mm radiator?

lol

I vertically mount my CPU for better temperatures, but for some reason it's not working..

@@thesmart1000 😂😂

Consider getting an RGB network card so the singal will be even stronger!

@@thesmart1000 its by default vertically mounted

@@AliYassinToma depends on how is the case oriented though

YEUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUP

yes

James Jaboneta technically it already is

Why would you do this?

@@absoluteai41 yes

....maybe in fact your lady/man situation is in fact so diar you need to have a hottie on that super hot $1000 PCB you want to see for comfort as another player totally rocket jumps gibing you to kingdom come in an old quake style death-match! ... Sorry man I was just playing a little bit assuming you mean vertical card mounting... maybe your card has an awesome graphic and light scheme and your MB is Naked... and since a lot of folks don't use anything other than a GPU this is an option ... Personally my HAF942 case is already pretty old so likely my next build will replace it - since case labs went under ... I looking at a large wall-mount DIY thing though as honestly I always wanted to do one of those and I could get creative with my water cooling plumbing if I didn't have case constraints to worry about ... I liked the ones I seen others come up with and since I am sure I could do something like it I figured why the heck not =)

facts dude like wtf 😂😂

Its negligible.

Depends on the case

o11 dynamic evo. normal mounting of my zotac 4090 gives slightly worse GPU temps at benefit of slightly better CPU temps, vertical mounting is the exact opposite. However what's key is that with normal mounting, my 12VHPWR cable for the GPU is horribly bent against the side tempered glass panel in order to close it, with vertical mounting, that issue doesn't exist. Definitely will work differently for different cases.

What did you think was gonna happen dummy, 😂

@@peterjohnson1379 it would be designed in a way that you could have at least 1 slot free

@@Darkheart19981 Providing there's room in the case, what about positioning the bracket along the vertical plane to free up some slots?

I've got the phanteks one on the way and I'm just gonna cut a fuckin hole in it for the network card antenna lmao

@@jamesaron1967 I was under the impression that most cases only have 7 expansion slots and this bracket seems to take up all of them

This!

Gamer's Nexus did that couple of months ago.

@@Colaman112 yes but I believe his version was fairly close to the side panel and it was overheating. I could be wrong though. If the temps are good for this one I will be buying this.

@@chrishunter7065 He might have multiple videos like that but if you search for one called "Fact-Check: CableMod's Vertical GPU Thermals vs. Stock Case", you find one with this exact product (or atleast a prototype of it) compared to a horizontal mount and integrated vertical mount (in Colermaster H500M case).

Kyle did one with this same mount

@Wopsil actually I think with the open heatsink styled cards it would actually be better since heat rises and when you mount it horizontally since now there are more exposed sides?

@Wopsil actually it depends on the case, I dropped 8 degrees putting my 2070 super vertical because the airflow under the card wasn't the best when compared to the top of the case

Kotton if your not using the other slots then it won’t matter

Kotton, many cases like Thermaltake View series come with a vertical bracket and a dedicated slot on the case so you can have both the vertical GPU while being able to retain the use of the pcie slots. I did it with my TT view 71 and had vertical GPU and some m2 drives and a network card on pcie and worked just fine. I did not like the look so I went back traditional.

cac2244 the problem with those cases is that the GPU can't get any air because it's so close to the side panel. Because of that you will either have higher temperatures or will have to turn the fan speed up which will make the PC louder.

Use PCIe riser to use other slots.

it would be cool to somehow have this bracket allow low profile pci-e cards to fit behind the gpu so that you can have your gpu mounted vertically and then a bunch of low profile expansion cards behind it.

That is a great shirt!

yep I actually want to buy one for my colleague I don't lift but he does, respect for his efforts

Hell yeah.

AFAIK the retail version actually only has these short Adapters and you can choose between 2x DP or 1x DP 1x HDMI.

@@xSirDingo Yeah, I just found a post where they said they switched from short extenders to long cables because people with cheap cables had problems. Kinda sad tbh.

When we launched the product originally, we were using DP adapters that routed just outside of the slats. The issue here is that some people had low quality DP cables that they were using. Lower quality DP cables cannot pass signal through adapters/extension cables, that is the entire reason we relaunched this kit actually, we had to make all new DP cables because people were thinking the bracket was defective, but we found that some monitor DP cables are just not able to pass signal through adapters/extensions. This is why we include full replacement DP cables now, so everyone gets a great out of box experience. :)

Seems like this would be a bear to unplug though once everything is mounted. Maybe rather than making new cables (that probably added yet more cost because of new tooling or whatever) and removing the ability to easily disconnect them, higher quality ones could have just been included along with the short extensions? It might have also been cool to have the short extensions terminate at pass-throughs mounted between the horizontal slats. That would allow for way easier plugging/unplugging without having to hold a loose cable end with the other hand or removing the card altogether.

@@DefMunkyYT we didn't change the pricing of the bracket even with the tooling costs of the new cables, we left it the same. But including extensions + replacement cables would have required added cost as that's more cables included. Additionally, once it's installed, how often are the vast majority of people swapping their hardware on their system? :)

The cable plugs are extra long... so they insert easily through the bars...

same, pretty gutted about that

It is done you see it in the background of every video the thing is post is a busy person and that's why we are still waiting he has addressed this maybe you just missed it 🙂

It is done but post's schedule is so sporadic that he doesn't really have time for the big unveiling

It's been done. Post just has a schedule that's all over the place, so Jay hasn't been able to get a hold of him.

2020

they had a 'fight' he will not come back

That looks like one of the Cooler Master hyper 212 coolers

Yep, maybe a modded or black version of a 212 evo, from coolermaster.

So you dont have a supported case for it ? Like cm maker

@@Xenoray1 nope. I modded my Phanteks Enthoo PRO M Tempered glass case.

This is the same thought I had, that this bracket would allow normally unsupported cases (such as my Corsair Carbide Air 540) to use vertical GPU mounting. I may consider it at some point, although it'll move my card back and I'll have to ditch the PowerLink (or it'll interfere with my front fans)

@@Xenoray1 I also modded my NZXT H700 to use the CM adapter. Just had to trim out the six horizontal slats and it fit perfectly. I actually prefer the CM one since you can directly access the back of the graphics card. It mounts it pretty close to the MB as well so you get plenty of air flow for the GPU fans.

@@Jensettiman yeah that was our approach with this bracket, we wanted to put one on the market that required no case modding, but also one that allows for proper airflow to your GPU to ensure you don't choke your GPU, increasing thermals, and reducing clocks. :)

The founders edition in this video is 267mm long. And it looks to me like at most there is 10mm between it and the front fans in the video. Look up the length of your card and make an educated guess.

Ha, no one cared even 3 years later

Hi AstarOfDavid. That's a new one. At the time the most often stated "logic" behind the change had to do with better utilisation of cooler air at the "slot" end of system cases, and the justifications were more about the need to limit the amount of heat dumped directly into the more critical "CPU" side. Either way, having hot components on the "underside" of a PCB (as with PCIe gfx cards in a "standard" ATX tower setup) is itself a "design flaw" that arguably creates more thermal issues than it solves.

Hmm, funny, I heard a totally separate story for why PCIe cards have bottom-facing fans. I heard that it was done so that motherboards could be made with ISA and PCI slots right next to each other, using the same slot in the back of the case, because the PCB is offset relative to the bracket. In those days, everybody needed at least 2-3 slots, and given that it's impractical to put more than 7 slots in a case, it makes sense to give users the freedom to use all their slots any way they want, so they don't have to think about how many of each specific standard they want when buying a motherboard.

Hi @@ThoolooExpress. Initially the only "upside down" card slot was the AGP port and it's introduction had no effect whatsoever on the number of cards a system could technically be populated with. In practice it may have resulted in people shifting their first PCI card down one slot to spare it from being overheated by their graphics card (and to allow more airflow to the gpu) but that was usually no big deal, even on m-ATX boards, given the vast majority of users typically used only two discrete cards by that stage (a gfx card and a dial-up modem). The same applies to later mixed PCIe/PCI boards. Some transition boards took advantage of the slot offset relative to the bracket to allow the user to populate either a PCIe slot or it's accompanying PCI slot (but not both - either choice would physically block access to the other slot). That design undoubtedly cost the manufacturer more but still didn't limit the maximum number of cards a given system could use and actually gave the user more freedom to mix and place PCI/PCIe cards as they chose. I suspect the AGP slot electronically needed to be closer to the CPU and that the "upside-down" build of the AGP/PCIe cards was influenced both by the thermal considerations of doing so (so as to not overheat the SB/CPU) and the economic need to conform to existing backplate/case design.

extension cable connected

For 80 USD you can get a new case with vertical mounting, this is a total ripoff in pricing.

Honestly it's such a cheap product they should just be selling it for £20

You have to cut the horizontal slot covers. Idk why he didn't mention it, it's pretty much 90% of the process and a deal breaker for most people I assume.

@@Ginbly38 Confirmed deal breaker. Thanks for the info!

This one is inset so you run the cable between the horizontal "bars". That's the whole reason it comes with those angled cables. No cutting is needed with these. Cooler Master and Phanteks make the ones you have to cut the bars with, or just use a Cooler Master case as it doesn't have those separators because of their adapter.

You simply install the display cables to the GPU, and then route them out the back, then install the bracket screws.

@@DefMunkyYT Ah, cool! Wasn't clear from the vid, but makes sense!

Or you could just spend like 15 bucks for a gpu brace....

@@ForeverMasterless this is true, $20 more you can get get the vertical mount it changes the look of your pc and all the weight is on the case not the motherboard.

wat xD

One more time in English, please?

Ha ha!

Except for when you want to access it five years from now and their website got redesigned and the product isn't supported anymore.

@@pcfreak1992 why would you want to see the original manual for some product that went out 5 years ago? I mean, it's like having the manual for a sandy lake cpu. I'm sure you lost it or don't remember where you stored it.

@@somedude2492 some things last longer than a few years. Especially a metal bracket can be interesting even in a few years if you happen to buy a case that doesn't support vertical mounting. Of course I don't need a manual for it myself but there are other examples of components where you might want a manual.

Exactly - instead of including 10+ papers per packaged product, you include 1 with a link (+QR code) to a guide. :)

This is a pretty simple product. A manual would've easily fit on that piece of paper.

its worth it, i have one

Well worth it. Got mine on eBay for 50 bucks with free shipping.

Yeah, you could get a new case with vertical mounting like a NZXT H500i

@@Charlie-et4td true but then it would be right up on the glass.

same temps, different aesthetics

hotter

no difference for me - now if you compared the temps to a vertical mount CLOSE to the glass vs temps with this one, you'll get a minor increase, I'm sure.

Well, that's because this mounting mechanism doesn't put your graphics card close to the side panel, thus not choking your cooler. Also, the title says "WHITHOUT affecting cooling"

This will help 5700XT's with bad mounting pressure.
