Illuminate Your Vertical GPU Holder with Cooler Master’s New Solution

Cooler Master is back with an exciting update for PC enthusiasts: the Universal Vertical GPU Holder Kit ARGB. This new version brings the added flair of RGB lighting to an already popular solution for vertically mounting graphics cards.

Why Go Vertical?

Vertically mounted graphics cards offer several advantages over traditional horizontal setups. Not only do they enhance the visual appeal of your build, but they also eliminate GPU sagging caused by the weight of the card. Additionally, vertical mounting can make it easier to manage power cables, providing a cleaner look inside your case.

Compatibility and Installation

While not all cases support vertical GPU installations out of the box, many can be adapted with the right accessories. Cooler Master’s new kit requires a minimum of four empty PCIe slots for installation. This is a common requirement for vertical GPU mounts, ensuring that the holder can be securely attached without interfering with other components.

A Touch of RGB Magic

Cooler Master describes their new holder as “an illuminating perfection” thanks to its integrated ARGB lighting bar. This bar can be rotated 270 degrees, allowing you to customize the lighting to your preference. Whether you want to showcase your GPU with maximum illumination or prefer a more subtle glow, this holder has you covered. For those who aren’t fans of RGB, Cooler Master also offers a non-ARGB version.

Enhanced Features

The Universal Vertical GPU Holder Kit ARGB is designed to be highly adjustable, fitting a wide range of cases and graphics cards. It comes with a PCIe 4.0 riser cable included, so there’s no need to purchase one separately. One of the standout features of this new model is the PCIe Slot Quick Release System. This small handle allows you to effortlessly release the card from the PCIe slot, making upgrades and maintenance a breeze.

Availability and Pricing

Currently, the holder is available in the Asian market, priced around $87. Cooler Master has not yet announced availability in other regions, but it’s expected to reach Western markets soon.
