Both HDD tray panel and fan bracket support to mount upright GPU kit on normal or reverse mode.
The GPU holds perfectly beside the motherboard and holds 2 HDDs or 4 SSDs behind the GPU.
Moving the GPU next to the motherboard opens up the main chamber in the chassis for the tubes to pass through and creates a chimney-style airflow, effectively cooling the top and bottom radiator.

Paired with the upright GPU kit, the front mesh kit provides the O11D EVO with additional fresh air intake from the front to better cool the GPU and the CPU.
Due to GPU cooler design, some GPUs have been found to perform significantly better with GPU IO facing down when using upright GPU kit.
Test result as follows:
Exhaust fans behind the GPU directly pull the heat out of the chamber, effectively control the GPU temperature.
Replace the glass panel to the front mesh kit brings further fresh air into the chassis to cool the CPU and GPU efficiently.
The PCIe 4.0 riser cable supports bit rate speeds of 16GT/s. While providing double the bandwidth of PCIe 3.0, the Gen 4.0 riser cable remains backward compatible with a maximum transfer speed, offering great performances.
Note: Make sure the GPU PCIe Connector is fully inserted into the PCIe Riser Cable Socket and motherboard PCIe slot when powered off. Circuit short may occur and cause hardware damages if installed not properly.
When installing a three-slot thick GPU in the upright position, the radiator width clearance beside the bracket is limited to 130mm, and 120mm for fans.
