Is there a component/device that I could look for if I want to place my GPU outside of my mid tower? I want to do it for two reasons: to not have the GPU block out the other pretty components on the mobo since the 30x0 are rather chunky and to have the GPU utilizing cooler air outside and not contributing to a warmer overall case temp. Tell me how dumb of an idea this is and/or if such a device exists. Preferably tempered glass to show off the GPU but also hopefully with some extra lights and enough holes/filters to help keep dust out. And yes I fully understand this would require extra long extension cables of all types to do and would contribute to clutter and go against my current wire management.

So my case is a white corsair 4000D airflow. There's definitely enough room in there to rearrange components but I would be blocking the SSDs (one NVMe, one on the PSU shroud), sound card, and an LED strip I currently have over the PSU shroud (though I could easily place that elsewhere) were I to mount it vertically. I'd just like to see the bottom of the GPU as well as the side. The temperature argument is something I threw in there as a possible fringe benefit. Neither the CPU nor GPU go above 70/75c. It was an idea I was tinkering with to be able to have my cake and eat it too, but the additional trouble and desktop clutter is likely not worth it. If there are cases that support a side by side GPU and mobo layout or would have the GPU at right angles to the mobo but to the side, I might look into those for my next build/upgrade.

You say you’re done messing with the build, but how is the cable management

So hypothetically, if you had one of the 3080 AIBs with a built in water block, is it worth building a custom loop just for the GPU? I don’t think I’ve seen such setups where only the GPU is in a custom loop - seems like with the fixed cost of everything else, you might as well get a block for the CPU as well. Do people actually make water loops just for the GPU or CPU?change my name posted:Absolutely terrible and crammed into the hole
