Review on CableMod Vertical PCI Bracket DisplayPort Accessories & Supplies by Diane Willis

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Looks great without sacrificing thermals

This product does what it is supposed to. My graphics card is on the broader end of the spectrum and supports it excellently without significant headroom. It keeps my 2.5 slot GPU about 3 inches from the side panel so there's plenty of room for airflow, and I like that it pushes the card closer to the center of the case. Allows better use of space. However, having a smaller chassis will severely limit the size of GPU you can install. In my old Corsair 540 case, I couldn't mount an 11.8" card vertically with this bracket and front case fans (no heatsink). If you have a tower cooler and a tall GPU, you may experience clearance issues when using this mount. Since the kit includes a vertical cable and slanted display cables, I think the price is fair. The mounting design feels good and doesn't look unsteady when viewed from the side or back of the case during installation. Note that if the case has expansion slot guides that run between each slot cover, the connectors on your GPU will be very inaccessible with this assembly. To avoid having to remove the GPU every time you want to connect a cable, consider disabling these guides. If you choose this option, however, there are cheaper kits on the market that do the same thing without moving the graphics card closer to the front of the case.
