#thoughts on a vertical mount gpu in this build?

up to you. Unfotunatley if you did vertical mount you would have to buy the overpriced lian li version cus you are using the mini
yeah i see, would i need the pcie 3 or 4?
What gpu do you have?
msi 3070 z trio
like if i do mount it would it have a toll on my performance and temps?
or would the difference not matter
ok I am currently using a 3070 on a 3.0 riser. Based on tests by Gamers Nexus at most there is a 5 fps difference. this is because the bandwith of 3.0 was already way more then a graphics card needed
gpu temps could be affected as you are no longer directly drawing air from the bottom fans but it shouldn't be too big of a difference as they are still moving cool air over the gpu
I also want to congratulate you on your amazing cable management of your aio plugs. unfortunately I got an NZXT kraken which has a lot of unnecessary wires but I use my upright gpu to hide most of them
