[If you find my designs useful, please consider sending a tip](https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/slegnor/1) I recently mounted my GeForce RTX 3080 vertically in my Corsair iCUE 4000X case using the [Linkup PCI-E 4.0 Riser Support cable](https://linkup.one/linkup-ultra-pcie-4-0-x16-riser-cable-rtx3090-x570-b550-rx6900xt-tested-shielded-extreme-high-speed-vertical-mount-gaming-pci-express-gen4-2021-universal-90-degree-socket-30cm-3-0-gen3-compatible/) but I was concerned about how much the Riser's PCB flexed when the GPU was installed, so I designed this support plate. This support plate fits over the mounting stand-offs in the case and stops the PCB from flexing. The Riser has a red cable management clip which is thicker than the PCB, so I added a channel at the back to allow the PCB to sit flush on the support. There are 3 variants if you are concerned about airflow: v1: Solid support v2: Triangular ventilation holes v3: Horizontal ventilation slots I have printed and tested all 3 and not noticed any significant heat issues regardless of which used, so really it's more down to personal preference. This may fit other cases, I'm not sure if the stand-off mounting holes in the PSU basement are an industry standard distance apart or not, and I don’t have another case to check. The stand-offs I used in the case were M3x6mm+6mm. Print Settings: Quality: 0.2 Infill: 10-20% Brim: Yes (personal preference) Supports: No Material: PLA
