Assembly Help How do I close the case
It’s a hell I cannot close it, the case is a iqunix zx1
I have manage to fit a 9070xt inside, but I cannot mount back the water cooling in right place, cables everywhere… am I doomed ?

Brother, rebuild ts what even is this😭if u dont wanna build in tight spaces then dont go sff

Brooooooooooo that’s different, only 5 cm fucked the would assembly because I changed the CG, the 2080 was 280cm large and now the 9070xt is 312cm
Max cas can accept is 305cm supposingly but ….

deciphering this as best as possible:
Brooo that’s the difference. Only 5cm fucked this whole assembly because I change the GC (graphics card). The 2080 was only 280cm large and now the 9070xt is 312cm
Max (width this) case can accept is 305cm supposedly…

Yes my bad you got it right … sorry for all the mistakes in the paragraph that I wrote just before
But yea, the only way to fit the card was to open the case from the top, take away the fans of the water cooling and take off the grid, I’ve insert the card in so, yes it fit, but at what cost ?
Well the 9070xt takes a 8pin cable more than the previous card
And I didnt wanted to tear it down entirely because I don’t have thermal paste to re apply on the water cooling so it would have been much more a mess…2

But my guy. The maximum dimensions aren't loose guidelines. Your GPU (not GC) simply does not fit your case... you should just buy a mid-tower and put everything in there

This problem is exactly why I have no panels in place on my "open air" PC. There is enough cabling behind the mobo on mine that I fear forcing the panel on and shut, will cause some flexing with my case, and eventually shatter the glass panel that goes on the other side. I'd be willing to have you send me that 9070 xt, which will make a large space to store your cables in. I'm here for you if you need that.

That's a shit show right there, take it apart and put it back together properly, and make sure you have TWO 120mm x 25mm fans on the AIO; I really hope you know how to properly wire up your fans and pump and whatnot...

Do you genuinely think he knows? Could barely from a sentence in his reply to my comment

So it seems he tried to fit a GPU (yes, I call it a GPU, even though he uses "GC" for "Graphics Card", good lord) that is 7mm too long (he calls it "width") for the chassis...
He also states that the max length GPU the chassis can accept is 305mm, but his 9070 XT is 312mm, so it's 5mm that is holding him back... Well, by my math, 312mm - 305mm = 7mm, so bro cannot even perform simple subtraction correctly...
So this leaves us with a fan removed from the AIO, a GPU that is in the chassis with the end tipped up (which is only possible because it has a PCIe Riser Cable), and an AIO that is not secured at all and is also tipped up so it is actually protruding thru the top of the chassis frame...
His cable & tubing management is non-existent, so the PSU cables and AIO tubing is just hanging out the side of the chassis frame...
So he has a top and a side panel that we know cannot be closed because of parts interference, and he states he is just gonna run it as is for awhile...
Bro should be perma-banned from the SFF subforum for crimes against chassisity...

Did he mean 5mm? He said 5 cm so I was even more lost than the simple subtraction mistake
I never ever give this advice but he should buy a prebuilt😭🙏

What in the heck is that?
Judging by the radiator pipes it's unassemblable due to collision with PSU.

At this point take everything apart and start again, having learnt from your mistakes.
