11/10/2023 0 Comments Corsair 4000d vertical gpu mount![]() ![]() But it is a working and error-free riser cable as of now, that is also PCIe 4.0 compatible based on the link speed I'm seeing in hwinfo. I am not sure if I would recommend this riser+cable after dealing with its flimsiness and the PCIe errors it generates. The currently error-free way I have this riser setup on my 5000d is with the riser board slid as rightmost as possible (in the direction of the front fans), while still aligning inside the screwholes in the chassis. The riser board has multiple screwhole positions that you can slide giving a little flexibility as to where the board is mounting exactly. After temporarily switching back to a horizontal mount (without a riser cable), the PCIe errors went away.Īs of right now, while back to a vertical mount, I think I got those PCIe errors to go away by reinstalling the riser by slightly adjusting the position, which also helps improve the GPU sag by a little bit. It wasn't glitching out my games or causing noticeably lower performance, but I was able to see these errors in windows event logs along with hwinfo. So I used those files to get a mounting plate 3D-printed by a third party for like $30, which in the end turned out ok for me.Ģ) I got a bunch of PCIe errors with this riser. Mine never actually broke, but I feel like it was bound to happen after holding the weight of a heavy GPU while sitting on just two standoffs, which made the riser PCB bend slightly.įortunately, one reviewer 3D-printed a mounting plate for this riser and shared his files on thingverse ( ). No drilling or case modification required for the 5000d, just obtain and screw the correct standoffs on the floor directly above the PSU, the case already has them pre-drilled.Īlthough this riser worked fine on my games while at PCIe 4.0 link speeds, I have mixed feelings about this riser cable in general: The riser cable I use is a LINKUP PCIe 4.0 Riser Cable 25cm (link: ), which apparently is out of stock currently. It has the ability to look and feel more expensive than it is, and at £80 it's a fine foundation for a sleek 2020 build.I also have that same case with my 3090 vertically mounted, however, it's on a waterblock instead of an air/hybrid cooler, so I'm not sure how the spacing and airflow is for non-waterblocks with that 5000d case. You do lose out on certain niceties - the bundled fans are basic three-pin affairs and there's little in the way of sound dampening - but cable management is good, there's provision for a vertical graphics card mount, and without any additional RGB and the extra cabling that tends to entail, the 4000D is satisfyingly easy to work with.īottom line: for a relatively basic enclosure, we've come away pleasantly surprised with Corsair's 4000D. The half-a-dozen fan mounts are all easily accessible, geared for airflow and well filtered, the PSU bay is well hidden with a full-length shroud, USB Type-C features as standard, and four storage bays is about right for a chassis of these proportions. Priced at £80, the mid-tower frame focuses on the essentials and gets most things right.
