How to vertically mount your GPU in the Corsair 5000D Airflow (does it get too hot?)

[@IAMRUSTEDROOT]

I'm two year's late. I just bought a riser cable thinking I would mount my GPU vertically in my 5000D as you did. Now I know I'll be returning it. Thank you for the informative video!

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

Glad to help

[@ShoChang]

I believe the main reason of your GPU and entire inside case temperature spiking is because of the back fan missing. Just a suggestion.

[@cristianesposito2265]

so many people overlook this, airflow is about in and out balance, flow direction and heat propagation.

[@magnamustrismejisto559]

That happened to me with a 4000D case and an Evga Rtx 3080, the fans literally touch the glass, when I had just assembled it, I was testing it with different games, the temperature rose more than normal, I touched the glass and it was very hot and I removed it immediately, the temperature returned to normal, now I have to think about buying a vertical mounter

[@melkert81]

I noticed that as well, i have one in mine and i'm curious. It would be nice to know the diff in temps for this. I have 4 fans in this same case as exhaust (3 top and 1 rear) and the AIO is mounted on the side, i believe its setup to push air through the rad, so it would be intake, as well as the front 3 as intake pushing cold air through the case.... I would suspect it "SHOULD" be cooler than the 70-80 reported..... I'll find out this week!

[@HustleRight-LF]

​@@melkert81 so????

[@stevens1041]

Good point. No exhaust fan is a huge problem

[@brucehirsch5437]

Well you just made up my mind! I have the 5000d and was contemplating doing the GPU in this fashion but not now. Thanks for the video!

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

No problem!

[@matthewjbutch]

Same here! Great video by Prawn!

[@ArizuAndo]

It can be done quite easily but its a permanent fix... You have to cut out the horizontal slots to make it fit and sit close enough to the MB that there's plenty of gpu airflow... Mine looks sweet I must say... I fabricated a gpu support bracket also... Sprayed it black, Sorted 👍

[@Hitthegasmedia]

​@@ArizuAndoI actually might do this because I'm going to build a new PC anyway once I see what the 5090 is doing.

[@dradfulboss]

yours is the only video that shows the measurable difference, and for that I am grateful I currently have a liquid cooled GPU so don't suffer from lack of airflow penalty from mounting the card vertically, but I will return the card soon and get a standard air cooled one so the timing of this video is perfect I am so used to vertically mounting the GPU so I'll buy one of those vertical gpu brackets that allow the gpu to be mounted further away from the glass, so it's a win win for aesthetics and no penalty to air cooling

[@denisejansen5642]

I’m just about to build a gaming PC in the same case and was really leaning to vertical mounting the GPU. Thanks to your vid I’ve changed my mined. That’s a big temp increase. Not worth it. Thanks for the detailed testing. Your vids are fantastic.

You need to try cooler master universal gpu mounting bracket, it’s allows you to place gpu closer to motherboard and increase space between gpu and glass door, it should solve the problem

Great video man, I was thinking about doing a vertical mount in my 4000d but after this video I think I will just stick with the standard layout, I would be okay with it if it was only a couple degrees here and there but that's a pretty decent jump.

[@aman113]

You have a positive pressure in your case meaning the heat will linger in the case for longer. I prefer a negative pressure which is like a vaccum, sucking hot air out quickly. The only downside of more fans pushing air out i.e. negative pressure is more dust.

[@nmmrg]

Fans don't generate air, they only move it. Your exhaust potential is reliant on your intake so it doesn't make it expel heat out more quickly in a negative pressure setup. If you had only exhaust fans, the only amount of air you would be able to push out would be the amount you suck in through cracks and crevices. That's why neutral or slightly positive moves the most air. You would only want negative pressure in very specific case setups where you have large openings and they happen to be away from the fans so you don't get instant cycling.

[@cthis4786]

@@LockDots84 water cooling shouldn't be an issue, I'm not WC. Quality cables are way too expensive for what they are worth. Lian li 4.0 cable costs almost $80.

[@LockDots84]

@@cthis4786 my point was more about the quality cable. The Corsair cable was about $60 but I haven't had an issue with it. You also have to remember that although GPUs support PCIE 4.0 they still run on 3.0 and haven't even maxed that out yet. Even with the latest GPUs on the market.

[@schifoso]

Another issue with some setups is that you can have a very intensive GPU application that barely uses the CPU and the intake fans won't spool up to increase airflow into the case (nor will the exhaust fans spool up). An example would be a simple installation of some fans to the motherboard header and the BIOS only allowing for fan speed curves base on CPU or motherboard temperatures. What would be nice is if the case had an air intake from the bottom, blowing at the GPU. Maybe a fan towards the front with funneling of the air towards the fan side of the GPU.

[@jacksonelder8519]

[@jslaya1739]

did you try this with 4090? im wondering if it works, i pretty much have the same spec as you just the different gpu.

[@PJthePlayer]

Very interesting... I noticed basically no increase at all mounting my EVGA 1080 Ti in my new 5000D vertically. At full throttle I'm peaking at 68C and that's with a healthy overclock. Must just be the smaller physical size of the GPU allowing for more distance from the glass and therefore better cooling.

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

Interesting

[@oceanbytez847]

Smaller GPU physically, and as a result it might get the airflow it needs. Also if it is a blower style GPU then it's more suited to this use case.

Just this ast weekend I finally upgraded both my CPU (2700X) and GPU (RX580) to the 5800X3D and a TUF RX 6800 XT. All still residing in a NZXT h500. Experienced two shutdowns while gaming, the amount of heat coming off that 6800 and remaining on the side panel was/is astounding. I plan to migrate Corsairs 5000 or maybe 7000 as converting the card to a water cooled solution via EKWB looks attractive

[@juliangarcia6073]

any updates with stats and temps on tests yourself?

[@danpierce2245]

Try mounting the aio rad on the back side of the 3 front fans and turn the 3 side mounted fans around. Those fans will draw the hot air coming off the rad directly back out of the case. You can then mount 3 fans on the top with airflow moving out of the case. You get to have great air movement and all your fans are support brace facing out for a much better look.

[@Liono-07]

Doesn't that create a very large negative pressure? Seven fans taking out air and only three putting in... In addition to the fact that the air that enters through the front is automatically captured by those on the side.

I was on edge until 04:44 when I could see you tightened that rear spacer down...

[@FromTheGroundUP627]

The thing people need to understand with airflow is that you need to basically pull more air (hot)out of the case than you do pushing air in. You have more air coming in than what is going out, if you have a 10 fan system you need to make sure that 6 need to be exhausting while the other 4 are pulling in air. Cases have plenty of vent holes all over the place that can help force air in by exhausting more air out,negative pressure is the term. Use software to balance each setup. I.e intake and outtake. Control all 6 to 1 fan header (controller)and the other 4 to another fan header. Yes the cpu aio is controlled on its own header, if it was me I'd add to this header for other 3 or 4 exhaust fans so when the cpu aio is exhausting so are the others equally to this. You'll get far better temps doing this.

[@FrigidARC]

I have a 4.0 amd mb and use a riser cable 3 and it works fine on amd mb. All it does is limit you from bandwidth you would get from the pcie 4.0 lane if the 30 gpu was directly connected since riser 4 cables aren’t that commercially available atm. Not a real problem unless you need that extra bandwidth. Really the only solution to SLI two 3090s if your MB lanes aren’t space for 4Slot which in my case I was the issue and the only real solution to be able to achieve that.

Does your gpu blow all its hot air out of its side?? I got a zotax 2070 super amp extreme something I have noticed that it blows all of its hot air out of its side, hitting the glass, where some of it gets sucked back into the gpu fans. I was thinking of getting the cooler master or cablemod vertical mounts since those sit a bit further from the glass. (got 3 intake fans in the front, 2 at the top) My gpu runs at a 76 c or 72 c in most games, removing the side panel gave room for the hot air to escape instead of getting sucked back in, it dropped to 56~ 60c, but then again it is an open case. But in theory having it vertical(and not sticking into the glass) will allow the hot air to go straight up to the top exhaust fans instead of recirculation. So far i couldn't find someone with my issue, and getting a benefit from vertical mount, guess imma have to find out myself

It's the glass thats stopping airflow. That and the GPU is sucking in its own exhaust. The 6 fans in the front are creating turbulence, so good air flow isn't even getting to the GPU. Looks good though. I have a 011 dynamic with a vertically mounted evga 3090. I have 3 fans on the bottom of the case sucking air out of the case. The 3090 runs around 60c+/-.

they are too short, or more like they will reach stretched and you have to have a very short GPU or no GPU.

[@SC-hk6ui]

On your curved screen there was a lot of distortion towards the edges. Is this a game issue?

[@noamzahavi7295]

do ALL riser cables work with ALL manufactures?

[@popplestones886]

I used the coolermaster PCIE x4 riser... but the PCB mounts are closer together so i can only use the front standoff, and had to chock the back of the riser up with a piece of plastic :-(

[@WCGwkf]

I want to do this, but my 7900xtx is a 3 slot card. I think it would look great. the cable only supporting 3.0 seems weird though.

[@j340_official]

Test the temps on the vertical mount with a 3rd party bracket. The further away card is from the glass, the better the Temps should be.

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

Indeed. Alas I didn't have such a thing and this is the official mount that fits in the case. The point was really to show you DON'T want to do it this way, even with loads of fans.

[@j340_official]

@@TheProvokedPrawn makes perfect sense! Also, regarding gen3 riser cables, they should work on a Ryzen system, if you first set the pci slot to operate in gen3 mode. I’ve seen that work on a couple of builds. But of course, and as always, your mileage may vary. Thanks for the vid. Very cool.

Well-made video ❤️👏

Recently did a build with the 500D Airflow and mine came with dark glass, really dark. I'm a little bummed about that. I went with the black case, I wonder if that's the difference? Also, I would like to mount vertically, heat's not an issue because the card is h2o cooled but I'm not liking the riser cable issue. I don't want to lose 4.0 and even the expensive aftermarket ones that claim to be compatible seem to be hit or miss.

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

Yeah I saw Hardware Cannucks do a video on that. Not sure if things have improved since.

[@KaTooMaz]

I did see a KZbin video about it awhile ago but I don't remember who. I just read the reviews for the couple/few different $100 plus "4.0" compatible ribbon cables. It seemed to me to be about 50/50 worked/didn't work. As for the 50% that said it worked, I wonder if it's actually working at true 4.0 PCIe or....it just works. So, I guess I will just have to suffer with a horizontal GPU until something better comes along. Running a DDR4 board with Gen12 because of no decent DDR5 available or at a reasonable price and can't mount a GPU vertically without compromising other new technology, life's rough 🤔😉

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

@@KaTooMaz 🤣🤣🤣 this was the one I saw kzbin.info/www/bejne/gajJcnlrjc-LmK8

[@KaTooMaz]

Thanks...I don't believe that's the one I saw, this one seemed a little more thorough. I'm impressed that it's from 2020, apparently the AMD people went through this issue a few months before it was on my radar. I've been prepping just the past few months moving into the Gen 4 GPU/Storage world slowly piecing together a rig in anticipation of Alder Lake. So every couple weeks or so I kind of do another quick sweep to see if any miracle riser/ribbon cables have hit the market. TBH it hasn't been a high priority, it would be nice to go vertical but it's just a luxury. What really bothers me is the DDR5 issue. The fact that I needed to buy a 12th Gen compatible board that runs on 'older' DDR4 if I wanted to use my new chip because I haven't been able to find any DDR5 for sale, or at least any DDR5 that's worth switching to. It's so bad that the small handful you can actually even find at eBay aren't very good, 8gb-16gb sets with mediocre to bad timings and asking $500 to as high as $1200 I've seen. Yet, it appears some are paying....I'll wait

[@10downn]

can you do this with the Corsair 4000X RGB i have a msi ventus rtx 3060 i would like to mount

[@kiweeh2805]

i have an MSI MAG Z590 TOMAHAWK WIFI ATX motherboard. do i need pcie 3 or 4? pls help me.

[@lopezmestre1771]

love the vid kip going

[@drayce1285]

I have the Corsair 4000d case and an EVGA RTX 3090 which I am going to convert to a liquid cooled setup. I was planning on vertically mounting the GPU to help prevent sag over time but after seeing this video I'm not so sure I want do do that anymore. Do you think vertical mounting would affect the temperature of a liquid cooled GPU?

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

I've never done full liquid cooling so I can't say but I'd assume it would be superior. I certainly wouldn't recommend vertical mounting in either of these cases otherwise.

[@Chucktro]

do you have to use all 3 8 pin connectors?

[@ScreenCandy]

Yes
