[Help] Vertical mounting GPU without loosing access to PCIe slots

Is it possible to achieve this? Currently I have Lancool II mesh & using the cooler master vertical mount kit but it blocks access to all PCIe slots. Is there any specific case/mount kit/riser which allows this?

P.S: Prefer vanilla solutions, try not to cut/dremel the case.

something like below :

1) LINKUP - Ultra PCIe 4.0 X16 Riser Cable
2) ASUS-ROG-Flexible-Extender-Extension
3) Deepcool-Extension-Effective-Standard-Non-Oxidized

If your card is pcie 4.0 make sure you get a compatible riser cable. They might be expensive though.

Did you check Lian Li's O11 vertical GPU mount? It has multiple slots and might work, if it's compatible with the case.

Yes, I think it's not possible to access the pcie slots in lancool ii after vertical mounting since the mount kit will block atleast 6 slots.

Maybe I should get a fractal case which comes with seperate removable vertical slots(like meshify 2 dark) and connect the riser cable to the bottom pcie x16 slot that way it won't block other pcie slots. Performance hit will also be negligible.
