I'm surprised we're not starting to see motherboards+cases designed to let GPU connect to the back of the motherboard. I imagine that would be a big win for air-cooled systems.
- Chiron1991 4y agoI think that would violate ATX standards, but there are already plenty of niche cases that mount the GPU in different places via riser cables.
- CoastalCoder 4y ago> I think that would violate ATX standards That would make sense. But AFAIK the standards could be amended if there was enough commercial justification. So I'm just wondering if we're headed towards a day when that happens.
- yoden 4y agoThere are "sandwich style" SFF cases which mount the GPU parallel to the back of the motherboard, if that's what you mean. It's more for space than for airflow, but you can get good airflow too with the right design (e.g. standoffs/separation, exhaust fans).
