Corsair Crystal 280X Vertical GPU Mounting bracket and Support

thingiverse

Hello all, Here is the vertical GPU bracket I designed for the Corsair Crystal 280x case. Edit- Printing with PLA, the bracket will sag from the computers heat, so make sure you also use a GPU support which helps to stop this. If the bracket does deform you can put it in the oven at 65 degrees Celsius and straighten the bracket back to place, or just print another. Non-Commercial, No Derivatives License Message me if you'd like to commercialise this product as I know there is currently nothing on the market for this case. I had air thermal problems with my big GPU in this mATX case. With this mod, my GPU went from 85°C to 65°C. After buying a Lian LI riser card cable kit and hacking at my case only to find it wasn't going to fit, there was no turning back for me, so I had to design this beauty. Try not to cut your case and see if it will still fit - I had no other option. Just remove the easy to take off moving metal piece with the two bolts in it. I printed in PLA (not great for heated situations) and required the 40mm support to stop the GPU bracket from sagging after heat (Adjust the GPU support height to suit your GPU), which worked perfectly and kept the 3D printed bracket straight. I actually think the PLA starts to Anneal and crystalise due to the running computer heat. Only things you'll need is a 90° PCIe riser cable to suit your GPU that is less than 200mm (200mm being a bit long for me but came with the Lian Li kit) in length so you can attach your GPU to the motherboard vertically as well as the screws that come with the case. I have added my PayPal ID if you want to tip me a small amount, of course it is free but with nothing in stores for this case and other case brackets costing $50 or more, a donation would be greatly appreciated :)
