Lian Li PC-O11 Dynamic & GeForce GTX 1080 Windforce

[leek2020]

Hi guys,

I've recently bought this case and used PC part picker to check if it is compatible with my other hardware components. It says it should be compatible with everything which all seems to fit except my GPU. When I try to plug the card into motherboard the guard at the back of the case (where you screw the card in place) seems to prevent it from fitting.

On the lian li website they seem to have a list of GPUs that will fit and some that need some kind of adapter(?) to fit properly however I cannot find my GPU on the list.

I'm just looking for someone with more experience than me to weigh on with their 2 cents on the issue.

The case: https://www.lian-li.com/pc-o11-dynamic/

The card: https://www.gigabyte.com/uk/Graphics-Card/GV-N1080WF3OC-8GD#kf

Any help is greatly appreciated!

I'm not sure I know what part your referring too, this is a pic of the part that is stopping the GPU from being plugged all the way in:

Is this what you're referring too? or is it something on the card?

Thanks!

Sorry I should have clarified, I have unscrewed these but it is the part outlined in the picture that is blocking it (the part the white & black blockers are screwed into). It appears to be part of the case and can't be taken off/unscrewed.

I will upload a pic tomorrow to show the problem!

It's not a problem with the backplates, I can unscrew those no problem. It's when I am plugging the GPU in, the part where the screws go (to hold your gpu in place) is stopping the card from actually plugging fully into the slot on the motherboard.

It's like the GPUs width is not large enough for the case if that makes sense.

Alright I have some time later today I can take the PC apart(it's in an old case at the moment and I need to use it for work). I'll post a video here afterwards.

Really appreciate the help here!
