Review on Phanteks PH VGPUKT_02 Universal Vertical Pci by Justin Smith

There were some problems with the installation as it does not fit the 011-D very snugly and therefore the thumbscrews (which are captive) cannot be screwed in. Once you get it and have a GPU installed, things won't be that bad. Note that if you are using an X570 motherboard and a Radeon 5700/XT you will need to go into your UEFI and manually set the PCIe mode to Gen 3 or you will not get any video output on your monitor. There are currently no PCIe 4 compatible vertical cables, this is not advertised but should be known. I knew about it but forgot so it took me almost 3 hours to fix it because I had to remove the old graphics card from another system and also drain and refill my liquid cooling loop twice. Not a deal breaker, but something new builders should be aware of.
