Well you just made up my mind! I have the 5000d and was contemplating doing the GPU in this fashion but not now. Thanks for the video!

Never watched any of your videos before. That said, recently I had been thinking about vertically mounting in corsair 5000x case. Had many questions about it. You literally covered every worry I had. Great video!

I’m just about to build a gaming PC in the same case and was really leaning to vertical mounting the GPU. Thanks to your vid I’ve changed my mined. That’s a big temp increase. Not worth it. Thanks for the detailed testing. Your vids are fantastic.

Great video man, I was thinking about doing a vertical mount in my 4000d but after this video I think I will just stick with the standard layout, I would be okay with it if it was only a couple degrees here and there but that's a pretty decent jump. Anyways thanks for the info and taking your time to make such an informative video 👍

I believe the main reason of your GPU and entire inside case temperature spiking is because of the back fan missing. Just a suggestion.

I'm two year's late. I just bought a riser cable thinking I would mount my GPU vertically in my 5000D as you did. Now I know I'll be returning it. Thank you for the informative video!

You have great relaxing voice, I like your videos and this video helped me lot. :) Thank you.

yours is the only video that shows the measurable difference, and for that I am grateful I currently have a liquid cooled GPU so don't suffer from lack of airflow penalty from mounting the card vertically, but I will return the card soon and get a standard air cooled one so the timing of this video is perfect I am so used to vertically mounting the GPU so I'll buy one of those vertical gpu brackets that allow the gpu to be mounted further away from the glass, so it's a win win for aesthetics and no penalty to air cooling

I am so glad I watched this video before wasting my money on the Corsair vertical adapter for my AMD Gen 4 motherboard.

You need to try cooler master universal gpu mounting bracket, it’s allows you to place gpu closer to motherboard and increase space between gpu and glass door, it should solve the problem

Took WAY too much searching to come across this video related to the parts needed and process for mounting this way. Thank you!

Glad I found this video. Just ordered this case and was considering vertical mounting. Neeeeeeevermind!

This video was like the perfect answer to my question. I have the Corsair 5000X with additional coolers, an Ryzen 9 5950X with an Corsair H150i and a RTX 3080 Ti and thought about mounting it vertically. But since you found out that the temperatures will go up I'll keep it the normal way. Thank you very much!

Coolermaster makes a 7 pci slot vertical mount that puts the GPU closer to the motherboard increasing the cooling back to stock temps.

I was wondering what was your setup for audio, thank you for putting it in the description. Sounds very good.

Oh thank you. I can now mount my FTW3 Ultra vertically on my 4000D Airflow. You should like, read a children's storybook, you have such a good voice.

i hope they find a way to fix this issue in the future

I was planning to vertically install my gpu tomorrow, but you literally just convinced me to go horizontal instead.. lol. Thank you! Now I have to return the PCIe cable...

Thank you for this video really saved me all the time and effort of having to re install a graphics card.

You have a positive pressure in your case meaning the heat will linger in the case for longer. I prefer a negative pressure which is like a vaccum, sucking hot air out quickly. The only downside of more fans pushing air out i.e. negative pressure is more dust.

Thank you for your video! Quite usefull! I just wish I had seen it before I ordered the mounting kit :D

Thanks for the video, have one of these cases coming tomorrow and was considering mounting it like that but you just answered my question and saved me money lol 🤣 .

Thanks for the video. That helps me a lot to make the right decision. Looking forward to get the mount today. Kind regards from Germany.

Thank you so much for posting this. I'm about to do a new build with the same case and you just saved me a problem. I'll skip the vertical mount.

I was on edge until 04:44 when I could see you tightened that rear spacer down...

Would be interesting to know what results with brackets that place it further away from the glass

Test the vertical mount with a 2 slot graphics cards

Very interesting... I noticed basically no increase at all mounting my EVGA 1080 Ti in my new 5000D vertically. At full throttle I'm peaking at 68C and that's with a healthy overclock. Must just be the smaller physical size of the GPU allowing for more distance from the glass and therefore better cooling.

just bought this case. thanks for the video, brotha!

Very useful thanks! I'm gonna have to go for a full tower case to get my next gpu vertical mounted!

this is such a well designed case

I have an RTX 3080 Ti in a iCUE 5000X and I was thinking about doing this, but you talked me out of it. Thanks a lot 😅, saved me a lot of hassle.

Dude I rock the 49” Samsung too with the 7000D 12fans feel like a monster when I game

did you try this with 4090? im wondering if it works, i pretty much have the same spec as you just the different gpu.

Thank you for this. Reducing temp is what i'm trying to do right now, so I guess this particular approach isn't the way. You just saved me like $150

I think the temps would be much better if you mounted the GPU with an after market vertical mount like the Cooler Master. It sits the GPU much further back from the side panel.

This was a great video , not the result I wanted but very useful to know.

I just got a pcie4 extender cable. My main issue has been that my giant new GPU seems to sag a bit more than I'd like and I imagine that would be an issue if I left it like that for the long term. Thanks for that video there's not much content about actually installing the mount.

Try mounting the aio rad on the back side of the 3 front fans and turn the 3 side mounted fans around. Those fans will draw the hot air coming off the rad directly back out of the case. You can then mount 3 fans on the top with airflow moving out of the case. You get to have great air movement and all your fans are support brace facing out for a much better look.

Great vid man was going to go for the 5000x case and wanted to do this, now not so sure lol

Answered exactly the question I needed: triple slot cooler on 6900xt and wanting to know the spacing for the 5000x. Seems like I'll stick with my plain old mount for now

your voice is too satisfying

I don't think any card can beat the founders edition cards looks wise. They're so beautiful. You should really only verticle mount your card if you plan on water-cooling it.

Thanks for the vid, much appreciated! :-)

Thanks for your video. It made me think twice before mount it on vertical... xD My GPU is gonna keep standard position for now... Regards!

Thanks for the video. I'm not sure if the 5000D can do it but you don't need to mount the GPU so close to the glass on the 7000D as you can swap the horizontal slots to make them vertical. Looks much tidier.

Just this ast weekend I finally upgraded both my CPU (2700X) and GPU (RX580) to the 5800X3D and a TUF RX 6800 XT. All still residing in a NZXT h500. Experienced two shutdowns while gaming, the amount of heat coming off that 6800 and remaining on the side panel was/is astounding. I plan to migrate Corsairs 5000 or maybe 7000 as converting the card to a water cooled solution via EKWB looks attractive

worth noting, if you're running a newer AMD motherboard like X570, you can manually go into the bios and select "Gen 3" which should make it work with a PCIe 3.0 riser cable!

I have just baught the 5000d airflow and its amazing its like a giant fridge the case is actually ice cold when you touch it and iam running a rtx msi 360 ti gameing x trio a ryzen 5 5600x unreal case highly recommended

I really wanted to Vertically mount my GPU a while back but all I hear is to not because the airflow is so cut off from being so close to the front panel, and I have the EVGA 3080 FTW3 Ultra 12gb and it's a beefy boy so would be choking for air. But it looks so nice and I want to see it! lol

need one of the setup videos for the 7000D!

love the vid kip going

Whats the monitor you use? Looks amazing

i wonder about watercooling and doing a comparison on both like this!??!

going to try mounting my 2080 super with the nzxt g12 mounting kit with a 360mm radiator to combat the temps.

Why not purchase a solid side and cut holes to accommodate the vertical mounted GPU fans?

Well-made video ❤️👏

Trying to decide if I should go with this case from the Lancool 2 Mesh. My GPU is a AIO, so being close to the glass shouldn't be an issue.

This is why I use Lian Li pc011 dynamic. Fans at the bottom blowing up on gpu and a little more room between glass and gpu.

we did a vertical in 7000X and instead of using those very near the glass panel, we used the traditional ones, removed some of the grid, placed in one that was for vertical, bought corsair risercable, and. well that was kinda lowkey stupid riser kable sine it had holes to where it could go, either where you placed it, or closer inn, only problem was, when mounted to the floor of the case it would be too low for the gpu to get in track, so we had to connect it to the gpu, then just fasten it like you do traditionally with the screws in the back and ironicly had to use an anti sag device anyways so... was kinda lame, its much better in NZXT H7 Flow to do it.

I'm surprised with the results here. Big radiator on the AIO removing CPU heat from the case, plus ample fans to bring in lots of airflow, but despite all that, the GPU was performing significantly worse.

Its 2/3/23 and lookong at my new rx7900 and sigh. Yeah ill need a new case if i want to vertical mount my new gpu. Thank you for the info i was wracking my brain if i was missing aomething with anchor points on bottom of case.

The stand off screw isnt screwed in...

The thing people need to understand with airflow is that you need to basically pull more air (hot)out of the case than you do pushing air in. You have more air coming in than what is going out, if you have a 10 fan system you need to make sure that 6 need to be exhausting while the other 4 are pulling in air. Cases have plenty of vent holes all over the place that can help force air in by exhausting more air out,negative pressure is the term. Use software to balance each setup. I.e intake and outtake. Control all 6 to 1 fan header (controller)and the other 4 to another fan header. Yes the cpu aio is controlled on its own header, if it was me I'd add to this header for other 3 or 4 exhaust fans so when the cpu aio is exhausting so are the others equally to this. You'll get far better temps doing this.

Its a shame there is only room for a 2 slot GPU. The only solution in corsair cases to mount a 4090 on a riser is to use a non-corsair riser and have it completely inside the case and the video cables ran through the PCI slots in the back...

It's the glass thats stopping airflow. That and the GPU is sucking in its own exhaust. The 6 fans in the front are creating turbulence, so good air flow isn't even getting to the GPU. Looks good though. I have a 011 dynamic with a vertically mounted evga 3090. I have 3 fans on the bottom of the case sucking air out of the case. The 3090 runs around 60c+/-. I had to build a 4 inch stand for the case to sit on because the exhaust heated up everything under the pc...

good to know!

so i want to use a vertical mount for an RX 79000 XTX and i have no idea which one i should use because there are so many options currently im planning on also getting the Corsair 7000D AIRFLOW if that helps

ive got the 3070 suprim in the 4000D normal set up really wanted the 5000D to Vertically mount it looks like ill not do that i had my concerns they’ve been confirmed thank you

Your voice is so hypnotic.

I have a 4.0 amd mb and use a riser cable 3 and it works fine on amd mb. All it does is limit you from bandwidth you would get from the pcie 4.0 lane if the 30 gpu was directly connected since riser 4 cables aren’t that commercially available atm. Not a real problem unless you need that extra bandwidth. Really the only solution to SLI two 3090s if your MB lanes aren’t space for 4Slot which in my case I was the issue and the only real solution to be able to achieve that.

wish i could find one on the 7000x series case.

Hey man! Great video! I was wondering if you could answer a question of mine. I got my omen 45L around 6 months ago and I recently put it under my desk (I KNOW ITS BAD FOR TEMPS) but I have a 3070 and I was wondering if there is any way to get better airflow under my desk. I can really feel the heat when I am sitting down and I doesn’t bother me but I’m sure it’s not good for the cpu. I stay around 55-65 on small load and 65-80 on high load. I also wanted to ask you if you know if the omen 45L can have a vertical mount attached because I LOVE THE WAY THEY LOOK. Could you let me know your thoughts. One last thing is how do I know what kind of psu cables I need to get because I don’t like the stock cables and I really wanted to get a new cable for Gpu and motherboard!!! Thanks 😊

I have 7900xtx, it's a 3 slot card. Guessing it won't fit and have to buy a separate mount?

is my 3080 xtreme gonna fit? im not sure :(

If the 5000D accepts the 7000D Vertical mounting bracket that moves it closer to the motherboard, I'm sold on the 5000D :)

Test the temps on the vertical mount with a 3rd party bracket. The further away card is from the glass, the better the Temps should be.

Has the issue with the Gen 4 PCIE not working been sorted out yet or is that still persisting

"Fan-tastic" 🌬

So just select gen 3.0 pcie compatibility in the bios, pcie 4.0 offers negligible performance over 3.0 anyway and the riser cable should work fine.

I think you should try cooler master v2 its adjustable so you could bring ut close to the motherboard and add an exhaust fan and test again? I thi k the airflow would be better and more air could go across both sides of the card plus it cant be helping that the card is pressed up against the glass blowing air back onto itself?

I want to do this, but my 7900xtx is a 3 slot card. I think it would look great. the cable only supporting 3.0 seems weird though.

Does your gpu blow all its hot air out of its side?? I got a zotax 2070 super amp extreme something I have noticed that it blows all of its hot air out of its side, hitting the glass, where some of it gets sucked back into the gpu fans. I was thinking of getting the cooler master or cablemod vertical mounts since those sit a bit further from the glass. (got 3 intake fans in the front, 2 at the top) My gpu runs at a 76 c or 72 c in most games, removing the side panel gave room for the hot air to escape instead of getting sucked back in, it dropped to 56~ 60c, but then again it is an open case. But in theory having it vertical(and not sticking into the glass) will allow the hot air to go straight up to the top exhaust fans instead of recirculation. So far i couldn't find someone with my issue, and getting a benefit from vertical mount, guess imma have to find out myself

I love everything about this build but the only thing that bothers me is how you have cable combs for the gpu and 24 pin but the cables are all over the place lol... how

Why not use the rotating pcie slot feature of the case to mount the gpu further from the glass?

hi, is the conector for vertical is avaialbe in 5000d case (include)

4:56 can it break? there is a small bend right there?

How to run duel GPU using this config?

do ALL riser cables work with ALL manufactures?

please i have a question it is work with the 4000x with a supprim x msi ?

Could you tacnically tilt the case so the Motherboard ist horizontal and the cpu is vertikal or does it harm any components? Sorry for my bad english. I hope you get what i mean?

Another issue with some setups is that you can have a very intensive GPU application that barely uses the CPU and the intake fans won't spool up to increase airflow into the case (nor will the exhaust fans spool up). An example would be a simple installation of some fans to the motherboard header and the BIOS only allowing for fan speed curves base on CPU or motherboard temperatures. What would be nice is if the case had an air intake from the bottom, blowing at the GPU. Maybe a fan towards the front with funneling of the air towards the fan side of the GPU.

I used the coolermaster PCIE x4 riser... but the PCB mounts are closer together so i can only use the front standoff, and had to chock the back of the riser up with a piece of plastic :-(

What's the benefit of mounting the rad up top rather than on the side mount? Looking at getting this case to do just that and am a bit confused as why not many people are doing that with this case (in reviews and on PCPartPicker).

i have 5000 ql edition and rtx 3080 geforce gaming oc. temperatures is 10 degrees higher. Now i want to buy 4090 and i think i cant set it vertical.

ok, here's a question for ya... I've got the Corsair 7000D, so the big brother of yours.. loaded with combination fo 120mm intake fans and 140mm exhaust fans in similar set up as you in terms of intake and exhaust ..I'm using a ASUS Maximus Hero MoBo... The first slot is 4090 Founders Edition (3 slots wide)... 2nd slot (which sits at position 4) is the Hyper M.2 card with two SSD's .. there is about a 2mm space between both cards... blocking off a bit of the first fan on the 4090FE... assuming amazing airflow in the case, will this work? or is that 2mm not enough space for the GPU? I Asked Nvidia, and they seem to think if I have good airflow, it will work.. thoughts? Should I do a vertical mount or just go with it?

Карта слишком близко к стеклу корпуса, темпер поднимется градусов 10, уже проходили

I know this video is a year old. But I am building in this case right now and was considering doing three more fans up front. So 6 intake (front) 3 intake (side/front) 6 exhaust push pull (top with Aio) and one on back for exhaust. Total of 16 fans. Do you feel the results were worth it?? Or is 3 in the front good enough?. I appreciate it :)

Do you think that if I install a 3080 ventus 3x that has around 2cm less than the suprim that it would run farther and better than yours or worse? Temperature wise

I don't really understand what you mean about vertically mounting a RTX 3000 series gpu in a gen 4 AMD motherboard. I currently run a ASUS ROG Strix b550-f with a 3700x GPU is a 3060Ti ROG Strix Will this setup be effected by using an extender cable or is this dependent on the cable?
