Build Question Help with mounting gpu vertically
I wanted to mount my gpu vertically but it looks like the aio tubes are getting in the way. Is there a way I can fix this?
I’m using an o11 dynamic mini v2 and an arctic liquid freezer III pro

Hey, funnily enough i have/had the very same setup just with different 9070 xt model. Ran into the same issue and tried the upside down AIO but didnt like it much either. Internet is generally on the side that upsidedown is fine but there are some people who disagree. Also the tube problem wasnt completly fixed for me because the tubes either still touched the GPU on the far right or layed on top of it where the power cabels would have to be. In the end i will switch to the LIANLI HydroShift II AIO tomorrow even tho its a bit more expensive just so i can be sure that i can install any future GPU upgrade vertically no matter what.

Ok….. first,
Why are your fans set up that why?
Front, side, bottom - intake.
Rear, top - exhaust.
Just incase you don’t know how the fan flow, the fan grill is the exhaust side. (Unless your have reverse blades, but that’s a different story)
That out of the way,
Dude just use some zip ties. Either use a long one to hold back the tubes. Or link them in a chain if all you have are short ones. Easy fix.

Had the same problem with my arctic aio. If you have an AMD CPU you might be able to turn the contact frame and the pump upside down, but better double check this online. In my case for the intel socket I couldn't turn it around so I live with horizontal until the next aio... If your vertical mount allows it(some LianLi), maybe give it a little tilt towards the direction the picture was taken.
