This is a good deal if you're a hobbyist who likes to put together niche builds, but I really wish more people were cognizant of the potential downside of mounting some air cooled graphics cards vertically.

Depending on the fan bearing used, mounting it vertically can be better for longevity (sleeve bearing) or potentially worse (ball bearing). The higher end cards have hopefully switched to FDB, but there's no guarantee on the lower end brands.

If you plan to stick with the stock cooler, check what your card came with and understand what maintenance looks like for each bearing type.

Might be worth the price just for the cable. Name brand 4.0 cables are stupid expensive.

The included mount on the CoolerMaster is still worth the $18.

It's not a perfect solution, as it should have an arm to keep the card from torquing sideways, but it's better than the careless mounting solutions in some of these cases.

Yes. I have this exact CoolerMaster in white purchased in July. It can be a pain to install but it's well made, the white paint finish seems to be of high quality and I was also impressed with the quality of the riser cable. When I purchased it back in July it was $1 less than currently posted for the white finish.

Your Statement is true, but is less pronounced when the bearing is only supporting grams. The bearings will still last a ridiculously long time. I'd worry more about dust accumulation than worrying between difference of mounting horizontal vs vertical.

You're forgetting about the high RPM these fans ramp up to.

The weight is less of a factor because it's all a relative design.

Also, "lasting" and becoming louder in addition to less efficient are two significantly different things when you're talking about mechanics.

This is one of the best designs I've seen. By allowing the card to slide forward towards the front of the case you allow the expansion slot frame to remain. No need to cut them off in order to plug in your cables. It does make plugging the display cable in require the side panel to be removed, but that's not a huge deal.

Works well but the slots for disport and hdmi are kind of narrow to slot it through and the tension clips to hold the gpu bears lots of weight if its a 3slot card so mine broke so its not easily adjustable whenent there's only two clips holding a vertical mounted gpu on the bracket that allows it to slide but it fits a variety of cases but small volume cases wont have enough space to put this adapter in

It comes with a pcie riser but be careful cause they can vary from pcie3x16 or pcie4x16

thermal take was insane to make people pay $80 for a straight pcie riser (i have a thermal take core p3 pro)
