Vertical Mounting the FTW Ultra 3090 in 680x

Fakebook New Member Total Posts : 2 Reward points : 0 Joined: 12/8/2020 Status: offline Ribbons : 0 Tuesday, December 08, 2020 5:53 PM (permalink) Was curious if anyone had experience vertically mounting their card in the Corsair 680x case? I'm bit concerned on sag, and wasn't sure if a bracket would help in this particular case, since it's sort of designed to support this orientation out of the box. Has anyone tried any specific brackets that help here? #1 11 Replies Related Threads

Yeah, you can see through their own image, that they have it built in for vertical mounting, but it's just support on the end. Seems like it might be a good idea to try to build on myself, or find something that will work. #3

I fashioned a support bracket for my 2080ti (will use it as well on my 3090 hybrid) out of a pcie side fan mount, tv mount spacers (had some laying around), and a screw and nut (they come with the pcie fan mounts). You would need the following mount and a nylon or plastic tv spacer. https://www.amazon.com/NOYITO-Graphics-Cooling-Side-Blown-Vertical/dp/B073QLQ87R/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=pci+fan+mount&qid=1607457882&sr=8-4 link to some random spacers https://www.amazon.com/Electronics-Salon-Spacer-Assortment-Threaded-Plastic/dp/B014KJKWWW/ref=sr_1_11?dchild=1&keywords=nylon+tv+spacers&qid=1607457935&sr=8-11 Attached Image(s) CPU: Intel i9-11900K Cooling: Corsair iCue H150i RGB Pro XT Fans: 6x Corsair LL120, 4x Corsair ML120 RGB (Capellix), 4x Corsair ML120 Pro RGB Mother Board: MSI MEG Z590 Ace GPU: EVGA RTX 3090 FTW3 Ultra Hybrid RAM: 4x 8GB CORSAIR Vengeance @XMP 3600mhz SSDs(NVME): 1x WD Black SN850 1TB, 1x WD Black SN750 1TB, 1x WD Blue SN550 2TB Sound: Creative Sound Blaster X3 Case: Corsair Crystal Series 680x PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 1000W G2 Monitor: Asus Strix XG32VQ (144hz) Keyboard: Corsair K100 - Cherry MX Mouse: Logitech MX Master OS: Windows 10 pro 64bit #4

Current work around is to change the 16x slot to run in pcie3.0 mode or to buy a new riser cable that supports 4.0 #7

A little worried about fitting a 240 AIO up top and the KP 360 up front. I currently have a 360 AIO up front and had to mount the 2 fans up top above the fan bracket as they don't fit otherwise. Engineering oversight IMO but Corsair says "Not all configs work". I'm hoping if the rad fittings are at the bottom, it will be fine up top. Otherwise, O11 DXL it is... i9-9900K EVGA 3090 KPE (PUSH PULL) MSI Z390 MEG ACE 32 GB 3200 MHZ CORSAIR H150i Pro WD BLACK SN750 SEASONIC 850W Focus Gold+ Lian Li O11D XL + 10x LL120s+3xML 120s #8

I have a 360 up front and had the hybrid 240 up top. My RMA will be here tomorrow. I'll share pics when it goes back up. You have to get a bit creative with the top mount.

Thanks for showing it! I will try lines down first and then get creative! I see you can still do push pull with it vertical. i9-9900K EVGA 3090 KPE (PUSH PULL) MSI Z390 MEG ACE 32 GB 3200 MHZ CORSAIR H150i Pro WD BLACK SN750 SEASONIC 850W Focus Gold+ Lian Li O11D XL + 10x LL120s+3xML 120s #11

Thanks for showing it! I will try lines down first and then get creative! I see you can still do push pull with it vertical. You can also do push pull on top with 2 fans outside the case and getting some spacers for the glass along with longer screws. https://photos.app.goo.gl/mMTLJayW2pmoebq49 CPU: Intel i9-11900K Cooling: Corsair iCue H150i RGB Pro XT Fans: 6x Corsair LL120, 4x Corsair ML120 RGB (Capellix), 4x Corsair ML120 Pro RGB Mother Board: MSI MEG Z590 Ace GPU: EVGA RTX 3090 FTW3 Ultra Hybrid RAM: 4x 8GB CORSAIR Vengeance @XMP 3600mhz SSDs(NVME): 1x WD Black SN850 1TB, 1x WD Black SN750 1TB, 1x WD Blue SN550 2TB Sound: Creative Sound Blaster X3 Case: Corsair Crystal Series 680x PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 1000W G2 Monitor: Asus Strix XG32VQ (144hz) Keyboard: Corsair K100 - Cherry MX Mouse: Logitech MX Master OS: Windows 10 pro 64bit #12
