Even though having the GPU upright isn’t always the best idea in terms of cooling, it undoubtedly gives the case an incomparable aesthetic. And if you want to put your GPU vertically, in this article we are going to tell you which are the best cases for PC that allow you to install it like this.
First of all you should know that, although these boxes that we are going to list below support the installation of a vertical GPU, none of them includes the necessary adapter to be able to connect the graphics to the PCI-Express socket on the motherboard, so it is something that you will have to acquire separately.
Corsair Crystal Series 680X RGB
Actually, this is one of the best PC cases “for everything”, since it has plenty of space to install practically any hardware you want, including of course the vertical GPU. It has a dual-camera design, and supports power supplies of any size, graphics of any length, and processor coolers up to 180mm in height. It supports radiators up to 360 mm and it already comes with four fans with RGB lighting, plus tempered glass on the side, ceiling and front. All a wonder to show your graph.

This NZXT box supports ATX or smaller format motherboards, graphics cards up to 381mm high, any size fonts, and heatsinks up to 165mm high. Of course it is also prepared so that you can install your graphic vertically, in which case you must also take into account that the space it leaves between the installation point and the side is 40.64 mm, which is the maximum thickness of the graphics card supported.
