If you don’t want to re-route because it won’t reach you have two options: a cable extender for the gpu cable, or, a higher tower style gpu support.

Oh and the reason why I might have a length issue is because the PSU is about halfway up the case instead of the bottom. I gotta route like this.

Spork3245 Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 @Baconleave your card plugged in (the power cable) when you install the bracket, only try shifting the wire if it’s sitting where the brace touches the video card. I really don’t foresee it being an issue with that bracket. I had mine going through the bracket space (which looks like less space than the one you were looking at) until I said “f-it” and jerry-rigged the RGB part of my lian-li triple 8-pin RGB cable to the 12vhpwr plug 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure If that's what I'll get specifically (it was just the first one that appeared lol), but if I do, I might as well get extra fans if I'm gonna mess with more rgb cable routing. That said, should the day arrive were I get stepee's 4090, I'll prolly invest in a vertical mounting bracket, like this Amazon.com WWW.AMAZON.COM Maybe not NZXT brand but something like it. 6 minutes ago, Spork3245 said: You could also just say F it and buy this: https://a.co/d/4mdr2cQ Ight, let me just ring the "stepee give me more money" bell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How large is that gap between the stand and the card? If it's less than 25mm (1 inch), you might be able to mount a fan(s) to the bottom of the case and then mount the bracket on top of a fan.

Bacon Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 Also, doubt it can actually sit on a case fan with feet like these Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cusideabelincoln Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 That is a weird base. I assumed there was a hole in it so that it can be screwed into something. As-is it's a very meh stand because you definitely would not want to have it installed if you were to pick up and move the case around.

AlwaysDyingX Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 Many moons ago he sent me a 1080ti. He told me to just sell my 1080 and send him whatever it fetches on eBay. Just a totally trusting, generous and a solid guy who enjoyed watching other peoples happiness. Pretty sure we all have a piece of mail hand written from @stepee at this point lol. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
