Vertical mount is more for aesthetic than temp.
If you want better temp like in another thread.
Buy better case like Lian Li, Fractal Design.
If you want cheap can consider Cooler Master but that is if you can find one.

because generally gpu temp dun really go up to really high lvl much
if vertical just upped it by maybe 5-7deg, i think i can take it haha

Never heard before use vertical mount can lower gpu temp.
Invest in a better case not vertical mount.
Later it make the gpu temp worse since it is closer to the TG side panel unless it is a mesh panel.

I using the Lian LI SUP-01
The GPU mount is vertical mount

- Not really for aesthetic cos like the GPU fan facing the front
- GPU fan becomes intake, so when 0 fan speed mode, no intake. but the case has a 120mm rear intake
- Didnt notice any temp changes
- But ambient definitely better than my old NZXT case

I got it cos nowadays GPU super chonky. vertical mount dont get sagged

but this case some negative aspect
-Its a tall and narrow case (which is what i want)
-the GPU basically connect with the PCIE ribbon riser cable. i guess if cable up lorry = i cant use my PC - cos it only can allow low profile PCI brackets, thus most GPU cannot be mounted traditionally

If you want to experiment up to you.
Raiser cable try don't get cheap.
Cuz it will affect gpu stability once game keep crashing or black screen.
Which is why I not a fan of riser cable.
Unless ITX setup than yes have to use.
Raiser cable can spoil overtime which is why I don't really recommend.
Stability is better than looks.

riser cable want find cheap also hard...all very expensive hahaha
hmm......not lasting ar the cable?
then maybe i drop the idea ba~

Yes the cable can spoil cuz constant flex.
User usually have to change 2 or 3 years or when playing game no display.
Not good idea to speed few hundred on riser cable which can only last few years.

I totally disagree with that Vertical mount is for asethetic. It does aid on both CPU And GPU temp. with the help of bottom fans (Essential)
GPU (AIB Card) Horizontally mounted will blow warm air directly to your mobo, causing heat accumulation.

Proven.. for AIB cards RTX4000 series.. Vertical Mount does help with temp.

Yup i agree with you.

The first point is that using vertical mount means there is less gravity pulling down the card. This means that the pressure the heatsink have on the components in less affected by gravity.

On very heavy cards, mounting horizontally might affect the temp overtime due to sagging, this will affect memory temp and core hotspot temp.

The second point is sagging overtime can break the PCB, and solder joints can dislodge.

A support tool can support some parts of the card, but there can still be weak points, so the best is to use vertical mount and a support tool for a more even weight distribution.

Of course, not all card, not all torque and not all scenario are the same so for anyone knowing YMMV but my personal rec is vertical mount as long as your case is not the retard kind.

ya speaking about GPU Vertical Mount Brackets.. I personally love to use Montech VGM V2 ..
this was their first version which don't supoort 3 slot cards

but later Montech sent me the V2 which support 3 slots GPU.
I am currently using it.. rock solid like the original. No need anti saq support bracket.. once mount with slight adjustment, the water level stays.. even till now after few months usage.. I Love it..

Note : In most montech fish tank case can use. As for Airflow case. you need to have 8 PCI-E brackets to have clearance.

wow, nice new cables you got there, but dont complain when your pc start flashing when you turn on :s13:
bought over taobao mb cable + 2x 8pin gpu for $26.00 including shipping by air
