Vertical GPUs are one of the biggest trends in “boom PCs” right now, but the annoying part is a lot of cases still don’t support it out of the box. In this video I test HAVN’s Universal VGPU Kit, which is basically meant to let you mount your graphics card vertically in pretty much any case. HAVN sent me two versions (black and white), and inside you get a PCIe Gen 5 riser plus the full rear mounting bracket assembly. I walk through the install using a be quiet! Pure Base 501DX—mostly because it was sitting on top of my giant mountain of cases. You pull out your existing PCIe slot covers/brackets, drop the HAVN bracket in, and secure it with four screws. From there you can adjust the support arm to meet the case floor, and fine-tune the bracket position with the rear adjustment screw. Then it’s just a matter of removing the right number of new slot covers, seating the GPU, plugging in the Gen 5 riser, and you’re off to the races. My main gripes: the “white” kit isn’t as white as it should be (too many black parts), and like basically every vertical solution, it limits you to a single expansion card. Also, it’s $90—Gen 5 readiness helps explain that—but I still wish someone would build a version that keeps extra x4/x1 slots available for capture cards, sound cards, or storage expansion.
