THE FINAL PIECE OF THE PUZZLE

AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST we get to that trusty GPU. Admittedly, this was a little more difficult to slot in than usual. Attaching that detached PCIe riser into the bottom can be fiddly but once in place, it’s easy to position the card and slot it into the two PCIe covers we removed earlier. Then it was simply a case of securing the card down again with the Phillips head screws, plugging in the twin 8-pin PCIe power cables and we were good to go.

As you can see, this isn’t exactly a clean build. There’s no space to hide any cables whatsoever. G.Skill could have thought of a solution to this before releasing the chassis.

Even a panel between the motherboard and

GPU tray area, that you could run cables down and reattach would be handy.

If that means sacrificing some of the case’s aesthetics, so be it. Form over function isn’t often a recipe for success in something as practical an application as a computer case.
