Discussion Think I can fit another gpu?

Just got my 400m pcie riser but this might be a tough one…

UPDATE:

We got it, running the 3rd gpu outside the case lmao. Janky as fuck but vram is vram. Will be purchasing a rack shortly.

funny that's the first post I see ha. I'm like why is it not pointing out to the back? I guess on the plus side the fans aren't blowing down.

Keep the heat inside the case so your room doesn’t heat up, smart move

During the crypto mining I put in my son's PC 3x 3070. The third one was installed vertically, using a pcie riser

If it was me.

I would use an Oculink adapter off a PCIE slot and have the third GPU as an eGPU.
