Review on Phanteks PH VGPUKT_02 Universal Vertical Pci by Tyler Owens

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Not perfect but works (modified)

I ordered this mount because it was the cheapest vertical mount on the market. The mount is very light and feels thin. I figured it would never hold my huge Asus ROG 1070 without sagging. However, once I tightened everything up, it proved surprisingly durable. It comes with a pair of rubber grommets that clip under the floor for more grip, but I don't find it essential unless you just want quiet. I haven't noticed any performance issues either. However, this mount has a serious design flaw. As you can see from my photos, the side and top plates of the mount are fully bonded, preventing installation. I thought it might be case specific, but I can't think of a case I've ever had that could accept this bracket without modification. In fact, the product image on Revain shows the crack right where it should be. I was able to fix it with a dremel and black paint. I definitely recommend this mount (if you don't mind modding). However, I can't give more than 2 stars because I don't have to spend that much effort and time to fix a design flaw in a product like this.
