What else are you going to do with those old CD ROM bays? When's the last time you even bought a CD?
This adapter will allow graphics cards to fit into a standard 5.25" computer bay. These are the bays that are usually used for CD/DVD-ROM drives, The graphics card fits into the clamping two piece adapter, which then can be mounted in a 5.25" bay. Installing the card into the adapter only takes seconds. For longer cards the adapter possibly can be modified to work (See compatibility below). The adapter's dimensions are: 7 .5" (l) x 5 3/4" (w) x 5/8" (h)
In most configurations, the adapter will require two bays due to the riser, which provides airflow
INCLUDED
- Two Piece Tool-Less Adapter Bracket
- Mounting Screws x 4
Product Appearance Varies per Bracket
- Brackets are not factory made and appearance quality can vary at this time
- Appearance includes imperfections which does not affect usability
- Brackets are checked for structural integrity before shipping
COMPATIBILITY
- Known Compatible Cards:
- MSI Aero ITX cards
- Gigabyte Mini such as the GV-N1070IXOC-8GD
- EVGA Single Fan Cards
- Most other cards 8" or less in length (many GTX 1050's, RX 560's, etc)
- Blower style longer cards - will be awkward looking, but works - make sure your case has enough room
- Possibly other cards if fan does not hit cross brace
- Cutting the top bar will allow other cards to work most of the time, but system will need to remain upright.
- "Other Cards"
- Not all cards are compatible. Sometimes shrouds are just too big, or card may just be too tall or long
- If shroud or fans exceed the dual slot width (sticks out further than bracket), the adapter most likely will not work
- Can it work with long, double-triple fan cards? Possibly, but it wasn't designed for it. You can cut the cross bar out, if necessary, to prevent it from hitting a fan, but system will then need to remain vertical - as cards will sag or tilt if you turn your computer upside down or on it's side. You will also need a larger case that can allow for 10"+ from front of case to motherboard
IMPORTANT
- Front grill/panel may be difficult to re-install if adapter is unable to push back into the computer far enough
- When using most risers, the bracket and card will require 2 bays. For example, if you have 6 open 5.25" bays in your computer, you most likely can install 3 GPUBay adapters
- Take into consideration the distance from motherboard to front of case when considering compatibility
