Fractal Design FD-A-FLX2-002

Overview

The Fractal Design FD-A-FLX2-002 is a vertical mounting kit designed to showcase and cool your graphics card inside an ATX case with open expansion slots. It features a solid steel bracket paired with a 195 mm PCIe 4.0 x16 riser cable, ensuring your GPU maintains full bandwidth and performance while facing the side panel. This setup is ideal for builders who want a clean, visually appealing layout with improved airflow around their GPU.

Key features

• Allows vertical mounting of graphics cards in cases without metal expansion slot bars, enhancing the visual presentation of your GPU.
• Supports GPUs occupying up to four slots and accommodates large air or liquid cooling solutions without restriction.
• Positions the graphics card away from the side panel to improve airflow and reduce heat buildup.
• Includes a high-quality PCIe 4.0 x16 riser cable that preserves full data bandwidth for optimal GPU performance.
• Easy installation with captive thumbscrews, eliminating the need for additional tools and simplifying the mounting process.
• White steel bracket blends seamlessly with bright or themed PC interiors, while the matte black riser cable remains discreet.
• Compact design reduces horizontal GPU clearance by approximately 15 mm, so measuring your case space beforehand is recommended.
• Backed by a two-year manufacturer warranty for peace of mind.

Key specs

• Riser cable length: 195 mm
• PCIe version: 4.0 x16

Installation and setup

Installing the vertical mount kit is straightforward thanks to the captive thumbscrews that secure the bracket firmly without requiring extra tools. The 195 mm riser cable comfortably reaches from the motherboard PCIe slot to the new GPU position, making it compatible with most ATX cases that have open expansion slots. Before installation, it’s important to measure your case’s horizontal clearance since the vertical mount reduces available space by about 15 mm.

Ideal uses and environments

This vertical mounting kit is well suited for PC builders who want to highlight their graphics card in gaming rigs, custom builds, or workstations. It works well in setups where aesthetics and airflow are priorities, such as showcase systems with custom lighting or cases with tempered glass side panels. Additionally, it can help improve thermals by positioning the GPU away from the side panel, making it a practical choice for users upgrading their cooling and layout.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
