GPU MOUNTING

The process of installing the GPU is

same it would be on a standard PC

case, just on a PCIe riser. Slide the card

into position, push down into the slot,

and then secure the PCIe card bracket

with the

M3 PAN HEAD

screws.

If your GPU only has a 2-slot wide PCIe

bracket the SV540

includes

a single

color matched

Slot Cover

.

We recommend installing the GPU

after installing the radiator as the

case will be more rigid.

Additionally, this method allows

access to the fan screws for ease

of installing fan guards, reversing

fan airflow, etc.
