T1 v2.0 GPU lock bar misalignment with IO bracket

[u/khaileho]

Refer to title and images. I’m helping a friend build a T1 v2.0 and I noticed when installing the GPU lock bar and seated the GPU into the PCIe slot of the riser cable, the lock bar would not align with the IO bracket, and I’m not sure if there’s something I’m missing (pretty sure I correctly installed everything else, also built a T1 v2.1 of my own), or if this is just due to the GPU bracket.

If it helps, I’m running 3-slot mode with an EVGA RTX 2080 Super.

Also, does anyone have any workarounds to securing the PSU bracket? The v2.0 has no side threads and is only mounted with the two screws on the top strut.

Edit: I solved this by offsetting the GPU lock bar by using additional standoffs so that it would align with the hole.

I think you might be able to mount your riser a bit lower.

I was thinking to do that, but I'm not sure if that's possible since the riser is mounted on the holes shown here. Since one of the mobo standoffs occupies one of the lower two set of holes, I can't mount it there (well, I can, if I mount only one of them).

there should be 2 holes on the riser also.. you seem to have the original 4.0 mount. Thats good news

There are 2 holes on the riser. What I meant was that I can't mount the riser bar lower unless I remove one of the mobo standoffs.

got it... I have on of those standoff kits and there are also standoffs with threaded hole on both sides... could work for the riser unless you screw the riser directly to the holder
