It’s not really an understatement to say that over the years videocards (GPUs) — much like CPU coolers — have become rather chonky. Unfortunately, the PCIe slots they plug into we…
I’m just using the GPU’s integrated cooler and it’s okay. Not ideal probably as the fan blasts inwards and there’s a channel to allow the heat to then come up and out the top of the case. But no throttling.
Worth pointing out that some configurations in this case can have acoustic issues if your GPU is too close to the side vent, but that’s a problem with this case specifically. Other vertical cases may not do that.
There are always tradeoffs when going very compact.
Does it have any heat dispersion drawbacks? It’ll be nice if there were aftermarket cooler specifically designed for vertical mounting
