Install graphics card vertically?
Good morning,
I recently built a PC with a Corsair 3000d Airflow. Since I got a graphics card with three fans, I'd like to install it vertically. Now I'm wondering if my graphics card (XFX Rx6700XT Core) will fit vertically in the case with a suitable adapter. If so, which vertical mount do I need?

This is certainly possible with these adapters – but with limitations.
The real question is: Why?
Temperatures will drop dramatically, and you'll have a PC that, under load, sounds like an airplane engine is starting up next to you.
Why should temperatures deteriorate so much as a result?
Where is the air supposed to go if the fans are positioned parallel to the window? It doesn't extract air properly.
But the 300d Airflow isn't that small either?
