Graphics card Support in the Lian Li o11 Dynamic Evo case!

[Andy Armstrong]

Hi all.

I am currently doing my first build in a long time and want to support my Asus ROG 4070Ti Strix with the Lian Li's o11 Dynamic Evo's graphics card support. The motherboard in question is an Asus ROG Z790-E

I am finding that the combination of heatsinks and graphics card mean that I actually cannot get the graphics card into the slot if I position the graphics card support stand at the position the manual seems to suggest. This is because the support bar for the graphics card(the white bar near the bottom of this image) is blocking the card's ability to 'fall' into the slot, and this is because the support bar is sat up slightly on top of a heatsink which you can see on the right of the image.

I can see another suitable location for the bracket at the top of this picture to install the bracket instead. This appears to be a good position as the graphics card's board rises at this point giving the clearance required. Would this work okay? Any other thoughts would be highly appreciated.

I didn't use the GPU support as my gpu is watercooled but if the GPU support just mounts on the motherboard mounting screws then I don't see why you can't use the two mounts at the top in the bottom picture. Providing theres clearance over the SATA ports etc.

I have gone ahead and done this -- it fits nicely. Thank you again @SpudMaster .




I also got included with the Asus ROG Strix 4070Ti a graphics card support tool.

I have am dabbling with positioning it here? Thoughts? The bottom of this bracket which sits on the center of a Lian Li 120 fan is magnetic - so it is very happy to sit exactly where it is. What I have no idea about is a) is it worth it, and b)is it wrong to do so!
