IBEST IMPETUSVertical Graphics Card Holder Bracket Mount
D**N
Good quality
Not fit on my nzxt case but the magnet on the bottom did very well.

Solid with some FLAWs. (UPDATED)
Solid is the best you can say about this. The material is thick, and very sturdy. The rest of it you can tell was made in China. The cable is stiff but good quality. Though when it arrived it was horridly packaged. One standoff was not screwed in well because the tapped hole was burred. The tap was amateur at best and I had to de-burr then re-tap the hole myself. The slot mount holes are just a bit too small to let the screw through and screw down to the base (if you get one you will quickly understand what I mean).Once you get it all together and get passed all the design flaws then it will work and will look good in a case.UPDATE: Ok, so I got further into my build, and I am finding that the strudiness of this is really a key KEY feature. I have a couple of different vertical mount kits from the market and I believe this is probably the best one once you get past the flaws (which I call some fit and finish issues like poorly tapped screw holds, packaging, etc.) The killer design of this is that they have a support screw at the opposite end which gives this two points of support one where it attaches to the PCIE slot/brackets and a lift screw at the other end. This is so much better than what I have seen elsewhere on the market, it is enough to give out this as probably the best, no mod vertical mount provided your case is large enough (mine is). It sets the card off well and pushes it back far enough that cabling is not a problem at all. I must say, after mounting and working with this I am thoroughly impressed. Pushed it from 2 stars to 4, 5 stars would be warranted if I did not need to de-burr and re-tap screws holes.UPDATE2: So I am now going to say this is probably the best generic vertical mount GPU bracket available that does not require you to cut and modify your expensive case or that is not part of the original case design. Still at a solid 4 stars for the issues listed above and because of the packaging/lack of instructions. Reading through other reviews there were others who could not figure out how to assemble and mount it. Fair enough, if you never used one I can see that. Took me about 5 minutes but for the inexperienced I can see this as frustrating. The most important thing to keep in mind is that this mount sets the graphics card back, and away from the PCI slats in the back plane by a good 40-50 mm (maybe about 2 inches) so it will be hard to use a large video card in a small case, you will likely run out of room in less roomy cases. Beware.

I've instances where I've turned my PC on and have my GPU not turn on. I'll upload images at a later date but I'll describe my experience with it thus far.It's sturdy and appears well built. In my case, when I initially connected my GPU to the case after mounting it, it sat at an angle. The card was sitting diagonally as opposed to parallel to the motherboard as you would expect. I did a little modding to get it to sit correctlySecond, I installed it in a new build. When I'd put everything together and turned the PC on, the GPU initially didn't turn on. I did an emergency shutdown since I couldn't see anything on the screen and restarted it. This seem to do the trick. This has happened on two different occasions. At first it didn't occur to me that the mount was the cause but it finally clicked when it happened a few more times.That's been my experience with it so far, keeping in mind that I installed it about 4 days ago. I haven't tested whether it affects performance but I'll update this when I do so

Very functional! One of the few vertical brackets with slotted holes and different mounting options
I needed an option that would enable me to keep my water-cooled graphics card vertical (without pushing it close to the MB) and still allow space to install a rad and fan on the bottom of my case (underneath the gpu). I didn't want to mount my GPU horizontally and block the air that flows mostly from bottom to top in this case. To my surprise it worked beautifully. The cheap-feeling metal construction and black paint is mediocre admittedly and the mounting screws easily scratch the black paint off, leaving a silver circle behind. However, this was much more functional for me, unlike the more expensive CableMod vertical bracket that is primarily for air-cooled cards (pushes your GPU close to your MB and away from the side panel).Since the bracket had slotted holes, unlike most vertical brackets, I was able to slide it up and mount this to only the top 4 PCI-E slots (instead of using all 7 of them). However, the side mounting is not really holding the full weight here; it just adds rigidity. Most of the weight is probably on the bottom section with the magnetic feet. This adjustment allowed me to mount a 28-mm thick rad and fans underneath the bracket. The bottom part of the bracket sits nicely over the fan housings without risking anything clipping the fan blades. For my case if I wanted to use a thicker rad underneath I would have had to lose the side bracket (and with it some rigidity) and just use the bottom piece with the riser cable. In that case though you could just buy a cheap kickstand and you would also start to obscure your CPU at some point, depending on your case. If you have a nice CPU waterblock, you might want to show it off! I can still see my CPU waterblock, but from certain angles it is covered.I also just love the little details on this bracket. The bottom piece has long slots that allow air flow from the bottom of my case, and the PCI-E cable is sliced into 5 or so ribbon segments, so the air flow isn't completely blocked there. Also there are 2 options for mounting to the PCI-E slots on the back of your case, since you can mount that side section to the front or the back of the bracket. This allows you to display your vertical card closer to your glass panel OR push it closer to the MB for better air flow (for air cooled cards).The one downside for me is that the vertical gpu does somewhat obscure the view of my CPU waterblock now, but that is more to do with my case and not necessarily a criticism of this bracket.If anyone is curious my GPU is a Radeon VII with the EK Quantum Vector (plexi + nickel) waterblock in the EK-Classic InWin 303EK case.

Great bracket with some flaws.
The bracket it’s self is great, sturdy and easy to assemble and install. Instructions are not needed since it’s incredibly easy to put together. The riser cable is strong and not flimsy.The huge flaw; the screws and screw hole threads do not match whatsoever. You have to physically, and painfully screw the screws and it sucks. I spent more time with pliers and a screw driver trying to get the screws in and it’s impossible without breaking anything.Specially the magnetic feet. They were threaded at an angle and they don’t hold down tight making them completely useless.3 stars for the bracket and riser. Everything else was a disaster. I would recommend above all others since a ton of them are flimsy, but they need to fix that huge issue.

works great, will mod it tho.
In its stock form, it is great. Its a little long set on the mounting bracket. I would like it to be a little shorter, but i can make a new shorter piece for that. The lower mount is very nice with feet that sit on the psu cover, only problem is in my current case my ssd sit right in the way of using that feature. I am very happy with it right now, and after some modding it will be a perfect fit for my build.
