Review on ๐ŸŽฎ Lian Li O11DMINI-1W-4 Vertical GPU Bracket Kit with PCIE 4.0 - White by Deandre Vogt

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great build quality with some issues for my use case

First, the build quality is on par with the 011 Mini. This replaces the entire back panel and looks like it was built into the case after installation. The PCIe 4 cable worked with my evga rtx 3070 ftw3 and msi x570 games pro carbon without any bios changes. I don't have any play with this mount either. Watch out for a few things. With bulky cards like mine, you no longer have access to the rear exhaust fan. Between the loss and the loss of natural convection heat when mounted vertically, I saw my card rise 5 degrees from 55 to 60 degrees at full load. Not a huge issue as it's well below thermal throttling or excessive thermal damage anyway. If you use an air cooler for your CPU, this is not for you. Finally, getting my card to fit properly in the holder was a major issue, but I think this is an issue with the bulkiness of my card and not a malfunction of the holder itself.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • New Competitors
