Install Grabo vertically
Grabbo can be installed as shown above.
The advantage of this motherboard is that even though it is a Mini-ITX, you get a PCIe 3.0 x4 slot in addition to the graphics card slot, and you can install the graphics card vertically without the need for a riser cable.
Normally, using a riser cable to vertically install a graphics card can result in performance degradation, but with this motherboard you don’t have to worry about that.
The disadvantages are that you need a PC case that supports this structure and that you are concerned about heat coming from the backplate side of the graphics card.
“Terminator B760BKB” uses the LGA1700 socket and is compatible with 12th, 13th, and 14th generation Intel CPUs. The selling price is 899 Chinese yuan, or about 18,000 yen in Japanese yen. No announcement has been made regarding how it will be handled in Japan.
