I am looking at mounting my GPU vertically and am trying to figure out if this  is compatible with my card 08G-P4-3283-KR. According to the website it says it is not. Anyone have experience with this? 
 
Trying to use this vertical mount from cablemod. 
 
Any inpit woudl be appreciated.
 

Yeah unfortunately most of those mounts are for 2 slot cards.  If you had an 011 Dynamic XL case you could get the Lian Li one which has support for up to 5 PCI slot width, but you'd have to change your case to do that unless you already have it by chance.

I have a NZXT 710i I don't think the IO shield will work with the card that is what I am asking. 
 
Sorry for the confusion.

?

With some slight modification, you can make a 3 slot card worth with a 2 slot bracket, for the sake of vertical mounting. Just buy a 2 slot bracket from EVGA (LINK) and use a dremel to trim the top inner ledge off the 2 slot bracket. 

That's what I did to get my 2080 ti FTW 3 Ultra to vertical mount in an h700i. This method will work in other cases as well. Once you mount the bracket to the card, you can't see that dremeled area at all, BTW.

Thanks! Great build! I can't wait to do this!

Of course! Good luck with the build. Feel free to PM me if you end up with any additional questions.

You have helped a ton of us with this mod I’ll be doing it as well in a month or two need to get a dremel and order the 2 slot bracket I’m trying to fit it into my cooler master VM to put in a 011 Dynamic. I might try and some how fit it onto the mount only modifying the mount not the card or 2 slot bracket.

Great to hear! 

I initially planned on modifying the vertical mount. However, that required much more modification than just trimming the GPU bracket. It was also not as easy to hide the modification imperfections as it is with the GPU bracket. Once the modified GPU bracket is installed, it looks 100% stock. You'd only notice the dremeling if you dismantled the card again.

And, at least with the 2080 ti FTW3 Ultra, you can easily remove that bracket without taking the cooler off the card. Making it very simple. 

Guys... ladies.. whomever is reading this.. do NOT butcher your two slot brackets... the whole reason you are paying for dremel parts is to remove a support bracket that can be removed with a simple Phillips screw driver... all you would need is a small tube of thermal paste.. and to stop destroying brackets!!!

The mid plate/heat spreader (what ever your preferred term is) has a small bracket that goes up to support the 3 slot cooler. Take the cooler and the mid plate off, and unscrew the support bracket... install the two slot as is from EVGA...  just.. stop.. destroying... brackets...
 
..and I know you all have phillips screw drivers because you are removing the three slot bracket with them after destroying the two slot brackets and then installing the mangled mess.. save yourself time and money.  Also, this will save you from having to clamp the 2 slot bracket that never required a dremel, and then risking slipping and damaging something else while you attempt to cut a lip off that was never a problem.
 

 

@sn0warmy, what kind of temps do you get with it vertical. just curios cause i have the same case. All the parts have been delivered so I will update once mine is complete.

Temps were roughly the same, vertical vs horizontal. The vertical bracket kept the GPU fans a good distance from the glass side panel, which was good for temps. With both setups, I found temps to remain in the mid 50's to low 60's for most games with fans at 100%.

In an effort to lower temps and eliminate fan noise, I did end up ditching that setup for a full custom loop in a larger case (pictured below). However, my new setup is beyond overkill. In terms of overall performance, the previous setup with vertical mount was perfectly fine.

Nice build!  Enjoy!  

Here is how it turned out. It worked well but not a big fan of the Cablemod Vertical Bracket cable connection both to the GPU and to the PCEI slot. It works but not ideal. I can see why you went with a custom loop.
 

My Temps went up about 3 degrees Celsius on my CPU but on the GPU it is about the same. I average right at about 56 on GPU and 59 on CPU. Keep in mind i changed fans too so that could have something to do with it. I have only had it running for 2 days so far. 
 
 

man that is sick! You wanna do mine? I am a complete novice

So was I! It really is not very difficult and super fun to do. Especially with soft tubing. It's extremely rewarding when you first fill the system with coolant and turn the pump on to let it all start flowing. Especially when you make it through with no leaks on the first try.

The loop builder on ekwb.com makes it super easy to configure and plan your setup, too. I believe Corsair has a very good loop builder as well and their parts are also great.

It is rewarding once you do finish your loop with your own hands.  
 
One thing to remind the novice folks out there:
 
- Inspect and clean your new loop gear before assembling with distilled water.  Mainly 'rad dance' and inspect the blocks of any manufacturing debris.
- Lowest point drainage for ease of use on future maintenance.
- Prime the pumps, bleed the loop and leak test for 24 hrs w/out powering the rest of the system, just pumps.
- Enjoy your cooler and quiet custom cooling life. 
 
Here's an old video I like posting to those interesting in custom liquid cooling.
 

 
The few things I have learned in my custom cooling years is, don't use a tool to tighten your fittings as you don't want to ruin your threaded ports.  The example in the video was done on acetal which is more durable than say clear acrylic and such.  Acrylic and any of those see-through blocks would crack if a tool was used to tighten.  Just finger tight the fittings and you should be good to go.  I also use plumbers tape on all my fittings for added safety.
 
For fluid, I used to use distilled water and a silver kill coil but got tired of block cleaning because of oxidation.  They would get discolored because of it.  I had to clean my loops in the past with ketchup (acid) and a toothbrush.  I don't do that no more since I use a well balanced clear premix fluid from a reputed custom cooling company.  My blocks look good as new constantly.  I only do a drain and refill once annually of fresh fluid.  I will only do a tear down if my temps and or flow deteriorate over time for further investigation or when I need to upgrade hardware. (gasp! )
 
Those are the few things that stuck out to me that I had to comment on from this older video but overall it's very informative.

Any chance you could show what the card looks like with the 2 slot installed on it?
