Review on Phanteks PH VGPUKT_02 Universal Vertical Pci by Aaron Jimison

Revainrating 3 out of 5

*This* is the solution to your vertical GPU question!

I liked the idea of placing graphics cards vertically; reveal the fans and reduce the load on the PCIe slot. But I was concerned about the quality of the solution. Where could I get one that wasn't just cobbled together by a one night stand in Hong Kong? I found it in a Phanteks product! Your V2 mount is the best there is! And paired with current covers (with a PSU cover below) it's generally perfect! My Cooler Master TD500 mesh case was *MADE* for this mount! When removing the slot protectors, the cross braces do not have to be cut out! This is a really well made product! The Phanteks mount is perfect! They built it with 2 slots, but it's supposed to sit "back" in the sidebar; using the existing PCI connector for the slots, but at a 90 degree angle! And since all cases come preloaded with space "above" the PCI slots, you'll have plenty of room for even the largest cards! (Anyone 3090 '3' card slot?) Get this product while you can! The ribbon, PCIe slot and bracket are very well made! As far as I know, this is indeed a dream come true!
