6. Connect the Riser Cable: Connect the integrated PCIe 5.0 riser cable from the vertical bracket to the corresponding PCIe x16 slot on your motherboard. Ensure a firm connection.
7. Connect D-RGB Cable: Connect the D-RGB cable from the bracket to an available 3-pin D-RGB header on your motherboard or a compatible D-RGB controller.

4. Operating Instructions (D-RGB Lighting)

The Phanteks Premium Gen5 Vertical GPU Bracket features integrated D-RGB lighting. To control the lighting effects:

• If connected to a motherboard D-RGB header, use your motherboard's lighting control software (e.g., ASUS Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light, Gigabyte RGB Fusion, ASRock Polychrome Sync) to customize colors and effects.
• If connected to a Phanteks D-RGB controller (sold separately), use the controller's physical buttons or associated software for customization.

6 Issolvi l-problemi

If you encounter issues with your Phanteks Premium Gen5 Vertical GPU Bracket, refer to the following common solutions:

• GPU Not Detected:
  • Ensure the PCIe 5.0 riser cable is fully seated in both the GPU and the motherboard's PCIe x16 slot.
  • Verify that your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI settings are configured correctly for PCIe Gen5 operation, or try setting the PCIe slot speed to Gen4 or Gen3 as a test.
  • Test the GPU directly in the motherboard's PCIe slot to rule out a GPU issue.
• D-RGB Lighting Not Working:
  • Check that the D-RGB cable is securely connected to a compatible 3-pin D-RGB header on your motherboard or controller.
  • Ensure your motherboard's lighting software is installed and updated, and that the D-RGB header is enabled.
  • Confirm that the D-RGB header is receiving power.
• Physical Instability:
  • Re-check all mounting screws for the bracket and the GPU to ensure they are tightened appropriately.
  • Ensure the chassis itself is stable and on a flat surface.
