About NZXT Vertical GPU Black Mounting Kit
| Category | Specification / Detail |
|---|---|
| Compatibility / Interface | PCIe Gen 4 ×16 interface for the riser cable — backwards compatible with older PCIe generations. |
| Supported Graphics Cards | Supports GPUs of any length, up to 3 slots wide (i.e. dual-slot or triple-slot cards). |
| PCIe Slot Requirements | Needs 7 horizontal PCIe expansion slots available in the case for mounting. |
| Physical Dimensions | Height: 186.8 mm Width: 144.7 mm Depth: 150.4 mm |
| Package Contents | Includes a sturdy steel GPU bracket, 175 mm PCIe 4.0 riser cable, and installation accessories. |
| Case Compatibility (officially) | Designed to fit with specific NZXT cases: H5 Series, H6, H7, and H9 Series. |
| Use with Non-NZXT Cases | Possible only if the case provides at least 7 contiguous PCIe slots, no internal dividers between slots, and a flat internal surface (like a PSU shroud) for the adjustable foot to rest on. Not guaranteed — depends on case design. |
| Limitations | Only supports a single graphics card — you cannot use other expansion cards (e.g. WiFi adapter, capture card) alongside the vertically mounted GPU. |
| Warranty | 2-year warranty from manufacturer. |
| Form / Material | Steel bracket (for strength and rigidity). |
| Riser Cable Details | 175 mm long PCIe Gen 4 riser cable — flexible, supports high-speed data transfer, and backwards compatible. |
At the heart of the kit is a sturdy steel bracket designed to hold GPUs vertically inside your PC case.
The NZXT Vertical GPU Black Mounting Kit prevents sagging — a common issue when heavy, triple-slot graphics cards are mounted horizontally — ensuring that your GPU stays securely and evenly supported over time.
When combined with a transparent side panel, this vertical orientation turns your GPU into a showpiece, ideal for aesthetic builds with RGB lighting, custom cooling loops, or simply a clean, minimalist interior.
The accompanying PCIe riser cable is 175 mm long and supports PCIe Gen 4 ×16, delivering full bandwidth for high-end GPUs.
Because it is backwards compatible, it will also work with older PCIe generations without reducing compatibility or performance.
This flexibility ensures that even if your system doesn’t use the latest generation, the kit remains usable — a big plus for future-proof builds or upgrades.
In terms of hardware support, the NZXT Computer Mounting Bracket accommodates graphics cards of any length, as long as they remain within a maximum width of three expansion slots. This includes most of today’s high-performance GPUs — dual-slot and triple-slot variants alike.
Whether you’re running a mainstream model or a beefy top-tier card, the kit handles the size and weight without compromise.
Compatibility is straightforward when paired with supported cases.
Officially, the NZXT Vertical GPU Mounting Kit is designed to work seamlessly with NZXT’s H-series cases — specifically H5, H6, H7, and H9 Series.
If you’re building in one of these cases, installation and fitment are plug-and-play.
The kit aligns with the case’s internal layout, ensuring proper clearance, airflow, and aesthetics.
For non-NZXT cases, installation is not guaranteed because it requires at least 7 contiguous horizontal PCIe slots, no dividers between slots, and a flat internal surface for the bracket’s adjustable foot.
If your case meets these criteria, the kit may work — but proceed with caution and measure carefully.
The overall build quality is also notable.
The steel bracket gives robust structural integrity, eliminating flex and wobble even with heavy GPUs.
This is complemented by a manufacturer-backed 2-year warranty, signaling NZXT’s confidence in the durability and reliability of the product.
That said, there are a couple of trade-offs. Because the mounting kit uses up 7 PCIe slots and reconfigures the internal layout, it only supports a single expansion card — you won’t be able to add additional expansion cards (e.g., WiFi adapters, capture cards) alongside the vertically mounted GPU.
Additionally, if your case isn’t officially supported and doesn’t meet the physical requirements, you may face fit issues or need case modifications — a scenario that NZXT does not recommend.
Overall, the NZXT Vertical GPU Black Mounting Kit is an excellent accessory for PC builders who want to emphasize aesthetics without compromising functionality.
It transforms the way a GPU is displayed, enhances case presentation, and does so with a quality build that supports most modern GPUs.
For gamers, creators, and enthusiasts building a showcase PC — especially in NZXT H-series cases — this kit is a strong pick.
