>>105901519 (OP) Building upright towers was always kind of retarded. This is not an issue in rack mounted hardware or any other configuration with a horizontal motherboard.
>>105901519 (OP) Personally I buy the most expensive GPU I could find that has equivalent dimension or less of a GTX 1080 Ti, the GOAT. RTX 4090? Doesn't exist.

>>105902775 I'll happily trade nanoseconds of lost processing power for the life of the graphics card I'm now pretty sure I got scammed on.

>>105901572 Agreed: the solution is a horizontal motherboard and vertical add-in cards, and rackmount chassis are the final form.
>>105903888 >Uh I have just stacked multiple of these caps on top of another and wrapped tape around them as pillar to prop the corner of the card up. Just werks. kek, post pic also nice trips

>>105903797 It's LITERALLY that easy. Anyone who gets GPU sag has it coming for being a fucking idiot and not just propping it up with an old ram stick or one of these.
>>105903797 >Desktoplebeians have to use mini batons just to hide their GPU sagging problem instead of fixing it!

>>105901572 True but my girlfriend would kill me if I had a jet airplane in my room and called it a computer so instead I need a chic case that matches the decor

>>105903888 I built a little 2x2 pillar out of legos to hold up the corner, had them lying around collecting dust so why not?
>>105909519 It makes water sounds when I turn my PC on or when I hit it for instance, but not when it's running. Worst case, I buy a new one. It's really cheap for it's performance, cheaper than a high-end air cooler. Temperatures on my R9 7950x are also good.
>>105903797 I got one of those shits. always wanted one. but as soon as I got my gpu I put the unit horizontally on the floor and now I don't need it anymore. better cooling as well (panel off)
>>105909649 Well, it shouldn't really be hurting the pump like this. The bubble isn't inside the pump, that would be making noise non-stop. The problem is when the pump is the highest point of the loop, which isn't the case here.

I need a new case, anyone know of horizontal atx cases that don't have absolutely abyssmal airflow?

>>105902775 I recall seeing an LTT video where they daisy chained more than a dozen of these together and it still worked fine; the graphics card was on the other side of the room.
>>105901572 Some towers you could put sideways in the 2010s. Not so much now. Hard drives being 90 degrees still feels sketchy.

>>105908079 it does that when you hang a heavy CPU cooler >>105903797 it still sags in the center above the core i bet

>>105913160 I had already gradually gone up to three rack-mounted machines, so the last time I rebuilt my desktop, putting it in a spacious 4U case was an obvious call. It saved space, has better airflow, and so on.
