Compatibility and service notes

Preserve the controller, LED strips, cable bar, vertical slot covers and drive trays. Power/cable routing competes with long PSU bodies and the drive cage.

  • Check GPU length and thickness, its power-plug bend, cooler height and radiator/fan assembly against the same installed configuration; advertised maxima may conflict.
  • Confirm motherboard standoffs match the board holes and inspect front-panel, USB and fan-controller headers before powering the build.
  • Record the exact SKU, manual revision, removed brackets and unused drive hardware. Measure the individual chassis before shipping or fitting nonstandard parts.
