Hi all,
I am very new to 'modern' PC builds, and this is my first in a long time. Everything has been going very well, but I feel I am making a bit of a noob builder error here! The components relevant to my question are:
Case: Lian Li o11 Dynamic Evo (white)
Motherboard: Asus ROG Strix Z790-E
CPU Cooler: Asus ROG Ryujin ii 360
So far the build has progressed very well, but I have one 'problem'. I mounted the radiator to the vertical Cooling Bracket in the case (on the right hand side of this picture, the radiator sits in front of the mesh on the bracket):
The result is when I put the bracket into its locks somehow it doesn't engage the lock properly. Forcing it to engage the lock does work, but the metal (which is very easily bent back to shape -- alters its shape to accommodate). This is clearly not meant to happen (but as I say, I can very easily realign that top bracket to normal straight lines). Or maybe it's because of the size of the radiator I had to position the bracket in such a way that the top metal should actually finish just before the horizontal runner and therefore they would never overlap and create this space problem?:
Then the right hand side of the case doesn't sit correctly, because clearly the bracket isn't engaging fully.
From the front of the case the radiator and its fans look okay -- but I wonder if they are not sitting 'deeply' enough in this area of the case?:
Has anyone seen something like this before? Is there any suggestions on what I may have done wrong, or what I can try to fix this?
Many, many thanks!
