CableMod Vertical PCI-e Bracket (Black, 2 x DisplayPort)

This product does what it's supposed to. My graphics card is on the larger end of the spectrum, and this does a great job of supporting it without substantial sag. It keeps my 2.5 slot gpu about 3 inches away from the side panel, so plenty of room for airflow, and I like that it pushes the card closer to the center of the case. Makes the space feel better utilized. If you have a smaller case though, it's going to seriously limit the size of the gpu you can fit. In my old Corsair 540 case, I could not fit an 11.8 inch card in vertically with this mount and front case fans (no radiator). If you have a tower cooler and a tall GPU, you may have clearance issues with this mount.Since the kit includes a riser cable and angled display cables, I feel the price is fair. The construction of the mount seems to be fine and doesn't look janky when looking from the side or back of the case while installed. One think to consider, the ports on your gpu are very inaccessible while mounted this way if the case has expansion slot rails which go in between each slot cover. To avoid having to remove the gpu every time you want to plug in a cable, you might want to consider cutting those rails off. That being said, if you pursue that option, there are cheaper kits on the market which do the same things without pushing the graphics card closer to the front of the case.

CableMod’s Vertical PCI-E Bracket is great to make your PC look nice. It was an easy install, no modding to your case required unlike some other vertical GPU mounts. Just make sure that you have 7 free PCI-E slots and enough room for your GPU to fit, it does extend out your GPU by about 1.2 inches. I was able to squeeze my Gigabyte RTX 2070 Windforce and it was strong enough to hold it. There was a concern about temperatures with the vertical mount but I noticed my temperatures have dropped by 3°C now my temperatures are at about 65°C. The PCI-E riser cable is quite stiff, it was kinda hard to manage it. My only complaint is I wish they added a plate behind the GPU for more rigidity, besides that the vertical mount is really well made.

First off, this product is worth the money if you want to vertical mount your GPU. There is one major feature that I feel sets it apart from the competition and makes it worthwhile. That said, it is not without its problems.First, the good. The product is quite sturdy and stable. There are some reviews calling it flimsy, but they are being unfair. The unassembled pieces do flex and twist, but you cannot evaluate stability on a disassembled product. Once properly assembled, the mount is very sturdy, and exhibits little to no flex or deformability. Next, The mounting position gives the card plenty of room to breath, so the mounting position does not negatively impact thermals. In fact, it improves the GPU core and hotspot temps a few degrees under load in my testing. Finally, the big feature that sets it apart from the competition is the cables. The cables have a flat, 90-degree connector that when combined with the depth, allows the cables to pass through the rear of the case with no modification. I did have to bend the crossbeams of one of the slots out a bit to create some room, but I was able to bend it right back after the connectors went through. And while it's not specific to this product, the bonus of vertical mounting means making clean, attractive runs with your power cables much easier.Now to the negatives, which I feel are significant, but not deal-breaking. The first negative that you will quickly notice is that the gap between the back of the case and the back of the mount is not filled or covered. It is just open and is hugely jarring and unattractive. I found that a piece of foam packing material that was inside the package was the perfect width and height to fill the gap perfectly, so I just cut to length and jammed it in. It's an inelegant solution, but it works. The other big issue is that no matter what I did, I could not get it to sit perfectly straight. The mount tilts slightly outward as you move toward the front of the case. It's slight, and isn't obvious unless you are looking for it, but it's there, and there is no way to get rid of it. The case itself may be a factor, but CableMods should have known different cases would fit slightly differently and provided a method to adjust the angle of the lower mount to compensate. Finally, I would be remiss if I didn't mention that the cable is PCIe 3.0, so if you have a PCIe 4.0 GPU and motherboard, you will need to go into your UEFI settings and set the PCIe slot to gen 3 or you will get crashes. While it does cause you to lose a very small amount of performance (1-2% in most benchmarks), I've found that the improved thermals more than make up for it. You can always replace the riser cable with a 4.0 cable, but I don't think the extra money is worth it.So, is this the bracket you should get? If you don't have crossbars between the slots on your case, you may do well to get a different brand, but this one is just fine, and gets my recommendation as long as you understand the issues and limitation.

The Cablemod Vertical PCIE bracket does what it intends to do, which is vertically mounting your GPU. However; the instructions they leave you with are poor and the pictures provided were difficult (for me) to understand. Upon getting it all installed, I learned that one of the display port adapters was dead, leaving me with a single monitor until I can get the issue resolved.

Love mine! Previously bought the hdmi version and the riser cable in that was a dud (wasted way too much of my time troubleshooting that). Figured I’d try one more time and ordered this.Works perfect and fits great in my h500i with rtx 2080 and wraith prism cpu cooler above it! My idle temps are actually lower!!If you want to show off the underside of the gpu this is a great one! Especially since it offsets the gpu further from the glass window panel, allowing your cars to have proper ventilation.Only problem is it takes up a LOT of space, you won’t be able to fit other things in the pcie slots. And you also needed 7 free open slots on the back of the PC to mount it. Might not fit bigger 3 fan gpus in smaller cases. So do your due diligence and see if it’ll fit.PC looks awesome with this!!

My GPU looks great thanks to this kit, the online instructions were easy to follow and the included display port cables were a life save because for some reason I thought my pc had an open back! No tilting or leaning of the GPU either, and I have a large Aorus 1080ti!
