Meshify 2 + Z690

[Shonk]

Quite a few Z690 Boards have pushed the socket further to the right
which caused issues with my Fractal Meshify 2

I fixed it with an Angle Grinder + Flap Pad
It would have been neater if my Dremel wasnt siezed its hard work with a huge flap pad

I spoke to fractal and they have been great and will be releasing a new revision at some point

anyway here's what i did to make it fit if it helps anyone

With Edging Trim 4 mm x 3 mm

Good job.

Nice build.

@Shonk Is this a deal breaker issue for the Meshify 2 or just cosmetic? I've got an Asus Prime Z690-P WIFI D4 on the way and was set on ordering a Meshify 2 today but this has concerned me a little. Thanks.

Its a deal breaker if you arnt capable of modifying it as the motherboard wont fit
unless you want to warp your motherboard

I am going to have to do a Meshify S2 now also as the 9900KS died 3 days ago
so thats also going 12900K + Z690 Aorus Master

Thanks for the info! Think I'll flip to a 5000D instead.
