In this segment of the video, the focus is on a PCIe vertical mounting extension lead from Corsair that allows for direct connection to the x16 slot and the GPU. The speaker emphasizes the importance of installing the cable first due to limited space in the case, and demonstrates how to insert the GPU vertically. The process involves extending the bracket from the motherboard and attaching it to the GPU using thumb screws. There is a mention of some wobbling due to the heavy GPU, and the video showcases the final installation with power cables connected. Additionally, it is noted that the MSI card’s fans do not spin until needed for cooling.

In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses the features of a computer setup with a carbon fiber finish and cooling fan ridges for better performance. They conducted benchmarking tests using Heaven, Cinebench, 3D Mark, and PC Mark to measure performance and temperature differences. The setup included a 360mm radiator, but noted that a different configuration with a 240mm radiator might improve airflow. The tests showed a noticeable difference in temperatures and overall performance between the standard and vertical mounting positions, with lower scores and hotter temperatures in the vertical setup. The speaker felt significant heat through the tempered glass panel, indicating a potential issue with cooling efficiency. Core iQ software reported an increase in temperatures when the setup was mounted vertically, leading to poorer scores in 3D Mark and causing FPS counts to drop. The video includes detailed comparisons of benchmark results and highlights the impact of mounting position on GPU performance.

In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses how vertical mounting of a GPU in a PC case can lead to overheating and reduced performance due to restricted airflow. They compare scores on PC Mark, show temperature differences between the GPU and the glass, and highlight that vertical mounting may cause throttling and inefficiency. The speaker advises against vertically mounting in the 4000D case with standard brackets due to the heat issue. They suggest alternative setups with better airflow options. The video concludes with the suggestion to test with a different GPU and encourages viewers to ask questions and provide feedback in the comments.
