Cooler Master's Vertical Graphics Card Holder Kit V3 is ready for your GPU showcasing pleasure
Cooler Master has just released their third generation graphics card holder kit, a GPU mounting system that is designed to make vertical GPU mounting an easy process with its included PCIe 4.0 riser cable and its high levels of adjustability.
Using this bracket, users can adjust their vertically mounted graphics card in the X and Z directions, allowing users to perfectly position their graphics cards within both ATX and Micro ATX PC cases, positioning them for optimal viewing and for higher levels of case compatibility.
With their Vertical GPU Mounting Kit Version 3, Cooler Master has made all of the adjustability of their new mounting kit accessible using tool-less mechanisms, making the mount instantly adjustable and easy to fine-tune.
Unlike prior designs, Cooler Master is not shipping this mounting kit with a PCIe 3.0 riser card option, as all modern motherboards now support PCIe 4.0. Simply put, using PCIe 3.0 riser cards would only lead to compatibility issues with modern graphics cards and motherboards, all of which are PCIe 4.0 capable.
ATX and MATX compatibility
Thanks to a removable section on the PCIe riser card, Cooler Master's new V3 vertical GPU mounting kit can now support Micro-ATX cases, though installing this vertical GPU mount in an MATX system will force users to utilise low profile CPU air-cooler or all-in-one liquid cooling solutions to guarantee clearance between components.
Cooler Master has also promised that their new V3 mounting system is compatible with all standard ATX chassis designs, allowing this mounting kit to be used with almost all modern ATX PC cases. This obviously includes cases that aren't made by Cooler Master.
Adjustability = Possibilities
Vertical graphics card mounting has always been about one thing, aesthetics. With Cooler Master's new 3rd generation GPU mount the company has delivered a level of customisability that will allow users to position their graphics cards exactly where they want them. This allows PC builders to maximise the visual impact of their graphics card, and position their graphics cards for more optimal airflow and cooling.
In the X direction, users of Cooler Master's latest bracket have 65mm of horizontal adjustability, and in the axis, users have 30mm of adjustability towards their case's side panel.
Using SGCC steel, Cooler Master has also increased the durability of their latest vertical mounting kit by 42%, making the structure less likely to flex, sag, or deform when used with heavy graphics cards.
