The standoffs are for to thick gpus or to tall cpu collers. You can put them in the side panel mounting holes. It makes the case 3 to 4 milimeters thicker. It is mantioned on the pictures on aliexpress for the t40 for example, if you take a closer look. :) I think it is not so stupid. You can fit taler collers and it propobly makes for a little more airflow. Ofcourse if you dont minde the gaps around the panels. Would be interesting to se how it looks.
Thanks for the clarification! I’ll post a pic in the community page before I dismantle the build, it is applicable to me as I used a taller cooler and just let it bulge. This will look better imho, rather than a curved bulge.
I've bought this case but with the mesh sides. While I'm waiting on it arriving, I'm planning my build but I'm confused. The case says it supports cpu radiator height 60mm but I looked up the Alpenfohn Black Ridge and it's only 47mm height yet you're struggling to fit it. I saw the comment about using the stand offs for more space but this seems quite a difference. Can you clarify please?
The default blackridge cooler has a 92mm fan under the cooler. In this config called “compatibility” config, the height is indeed 47mm. However, I configured the cooler as the so-called “OC” mode. It only means that there is a 120mm fan mounted at the top. Usually, the height of the fan is 25m which will make the total height of the cooler at 72mm. Given that it won’t fit fo the case, I put in a slim fan (15mm height) instead, total height is 62mm. This can “fit with a bulge”. Hope this clarifies.
as usual, upfront and direct to the point! thank you manong!
Great video man! I never even thought about plugging in the front IO first before screwing in the motherboard
I have the question. Can i fit gpu of 51mm thickness?

I tried it just now, but unfortunately the standoffs can't fit to the side panel holes, and the side panel screws can't fit to the standoffs

@@manongunboxing it does indeed. Great info and I appreciate the quick response. Thank you sir
Nice video man!! Do you think a 190x180mm motherboard fits on this case? I have a AsRock H310M HDV
Thank you but sadly, no it will not fit. H310M-HDV is an MATX motherboard -- too tall and too wide.
What is the length of the riser cable?
I believe this is around 200mm. But, the riser hole placement is also different than usual.
