Fractal Design Flex 2 PCIe 4.0 x16 Vertical GPU Riser with Bracket (Black)

PCIe 4.0 x16 Vertical GPU Riser Bracket Kit — Mounts GPU in the Center of the Case (Not Against the Side Panel), Supports Up to 4-Slot GPUs, 195mm Matte Black Shielded Riser Cable, Easy Captive Thumbscrew Installation, Compatible with North, Focus 2, Define 7, Meshify 2, Torrent, Pop, and Many Other Bridgeless-Slot ATX Cases.

The Fractal Design Flex 2 PCIe 4.0 Black is a vertical GPU riser bracket kit designed to mount your graphics card in the middle of the chassis rather than flat against the side panel, placing the GPU directly in the airflow path from front-mounted fans for better thermals and a cleaner aesthetic.[web:1344][web:1347][web:1351] A 195mm matte black shielded PCIe 4.0 x16 riser cable connects the GPU to the motherboard with zero bandwidth penalty, supporting the highest-end cards including the RTX 4090.[web:1344][web:1347][web:1350]

Flex 2 requires cases with bridgeless expansion slot covers — that is, no fixed bars between slots when covers are removed — and replaces all 7 horizontal PCIe slot positions to create a single large vertical mount.[web:1344][web:1351] It's officially compatible with the North, North XL, Focus 2, Define 7 (all variants), Meshify 2 (all variants), Torrent, Pop, Meshify 3, Epoch and many other popular Fractal Design cases.[web:1344][web:1347][web:1351] Captive thumbscrews make installation tool-free once the bracket is seated.[web:1344][web:1347]

>Center-mounted vertical GPU — Positions the GPU in the center of the case in the front fan's direct airflow path rather than pressed against the glass, improving thermals compared to traditional side-panel vertical mounts.[web:1344][web:1347][web:1351] >Full PCIe 4.0 x16 bandwidth — 195mm shielded PCIe Gen 4.0 x16 riser cable delivers full GPU bandwidth for the most demanding modern GPUs.[web:1344][web:1347][web:1350] >Up to 4-slot GPU support — Supports any PCIe-compatible GPU with up to four slot brackets and no restriction on cooler height.[web:1344][web:1347] >Broad case compatibility — Works with any ATX case with 7 available bridgeless expansion slots, including officially supported Fractal cases: North, North XL, Focus 2, Define 7 (all), Meshify 2 (all), Meshify 3 (all), Torrent, Torrent Compact, Pop Air / Silent, Pop XL, Epoch, Epoch XL and many third-party cases.[web:1344][web:1347][web:1351] >Matte black shielded cable — Matte black cable with proper shielding ensures signal integrity at PCIe 4.0 speeds and matches the clean aesthetic of black Fractal cases.[web:1344][web:1347][web:1350] >Easy captive thumbscrew install — Bracket mounts securely using included captive 6-32 thumbscrews — no extra tools needed for the PCIe slot attachment.[web:1344][web:1347] >Reduces available GPU length by 15 mm — Note: Installing Flex 2 shortens the available GPU length clearance in the case by approximately 15 mm.[web:1344][web:1351] >PCIe 5.0 note — For PCIe 5.0 motherboards and GPUs, set the PCIe slot to Gen4 mode in your BIOS for best system stability.[web:1344][web:1347] >All mounting hardware included — Includes vertical GPU bracket, 195mm PCIe riser cable, 2x 6-32 captive
