Vertical mount for gpu

xStorm33

I'm trying to find a vertical GPU mount for the Gigabyte AORUS GeForce RTX 2080 Ti XTREME Graphics Card that won't push the GPU against the glass of the Corsair iCUE 465X RGB ATX Mid Tower Case. I don't know what I'm looking for so can someone help please.

With the way that case is designed, you can't really avoid the GPU being pressed up against the glass. The GPU mounting points on the back of the case are just too close. Ideally if you're planning on liquid cooling your GPU then it doesn't really matter, but if you were going to stick with a normal air cooled GPU you'll run into your GPU running pretty hot and likely thermal throttling performance.

Ok is there a case similar to mine that will do better?

Unfortunately, most ATX cases have an issue with vertical mounting when it comes to air cooled GPUs.  If you are looking to vertically mount your GPU and it isn't a liquid cooled one, you would look at really large eATX cases or very special ATX cases.  It will also depend on how thick  your GPU is as well, with some 2 slot or 2.5 slot GPUs can still get close to the glass on these larger cases.

 so idk how many that will take but is there another case I could get that would be good for vertical mounting? and still have the rgb fans and the icue control?

The best Corsair Case I can think of that can do a vertical mount fine is the giant Corsair Obsidian 1000D.  I personally use the Corsair 500D and that is already one of the bigger Corsair Cases and I considered vertical mounting and went away from it when I noticed the GPU getting close to the glass.

what is another case I can get that still uses that icue? or is corsair the only one who uses it?

iCue is a corsair program so their cases are the only ones that incorporate the features. However they do offer rgb controllers that work with iCue software so if you decide to go with a different case you can use a rgb controller to keep the control of the colors to the iCue software.
