Should your computer be placed vertically under the table or horizontally on the table? Recently, foreign Reddit forum user UFCFan918 posted a message saying that he believes that placing the PC console horizontally is a wise move. He has been laying the console flat for four years and has really not had any problems other than collecting dust.
The advantage of this is that it can avoid the problem of graphics card sagging. Nowadays, graphics cards are getting larger and heavier, and it is easy to cause motherboard failure when placed vertically. Laying the console flat can effectively disperse the pressure on the graphics card. However, some netizens pointed out that there are many ways to solve the problem of graphics card sagging, and you can install a special support bracket for the graphics card. There are already various graphics card vertical mounting brackets on the market for players to choose from.
UFCFan918 also said that placing the computer host flat under the table can hide the body without taking up space, and can easily plug and unplug various interfaces. But someone in the comment area joked that this is nothing new. Before vertical chassis became mainstream, horizontal hosts were the standard configuration.
Regarding the disadvantages of laying the console flat, if your console is equipped with split water cooling instead of integrated water cooling (AIO), then laying the console flat may cause serious malfunctions. In addition, when the host is laid flat, dust will accumulate on the chassis faster.
