Review on Phanteks PH VGPUKT_02 Universal Vertical Pci by James Lesley

I have a Phanteks Eclipse P400 case and bought it thinking it would fit as it's from the same company. Well, actually not that much. First off, the riser mount is made from very thin stamped steel. It's not able to adequately support the weight of the RTX 2070 without sagging. When trying to mount it to my case, I had to bend the bracket to align all three mounting screws, but then I had trouble clearing the expansion slot. There is a 90 degree tab on the top of the bracket that should fit into the port hole. The tab was not positioned to clear the hole, to align it you have to move the bracket up but then the screw holes will not line up. After some tweaking I finally got it level, but then I realized I had to cut my new case to mount my GPU on it. Not to mention that the Eclipse P400 has a large mounting plate that sits just above the removable top panels and can easily be used for vertical installation. Unfortunately, it looks like they invested a lot of money in the PCI-e riser cable itself, as it's very high quality, but went for the cheapest mounting solution.
