Dual verticle gpu?
Posted by the01li3@reddit | buildapc | View on Reddit | 2 comments
I have an enthoo evolve atv case (not the tempered glass one) and because I'm on WiFi I also use a WiFi card. my water cooling pump broke and got a fairly cheap ekwb flt 92 to use but it's JUST too big to fit in a lot of places, leaving one solution to be a verticle gpu mount. is it possible to use a mount while also using a pcie WiFi card at all?
Or of course another solution where I might be able to fit in this res and pump?

you can make it work but it depends on your motherboard layout and how the vertical gpu bracket positions the card most cases a vertical mount takes up the first few pci-e slots which is usually where a wifi card would go if your motherboard has extra slots above or below the gpu you can still plug in a wifi card but sometimes there isn’t enough clearance
other options to fit your res and pump without a vertical gpu are use a smaller res/pump combo that fits in the front or bottom, mount the res and pump outside the case, or rotate the pump/res orientation if your case allows it sometimes even tilting it a bit makes it fit
vertical gpu is possible but check the slot usage first if your wifi card needs the slot that the vertical bracket would cover you’d need a riser extension for the wifi card or move it to a lower slot

So there's room above the GPU for the WiFi card to go, but it had a backing on it designed to go into a case so won't work with verticle mounts as it would need a horizontal plate to be used?
As for the res and pump combo I've been trying to find one that might fit in the UK but the FLT 92 seemed to be the smallest form I could work with.
