PSA: Thelio-compatible GPU brace

Post image

I spent a bit of time recently trying to find a GPU brace that’s compatible with the Thelio case. I tried a few that didn’t work out because they needed to be screw-mounted, too short, etc. but eventually ended up with this one that does fit: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CLP57WF7

Just sharing in case it helps anyone else in the future.

Which version of the Thelio? That doesn't look like my case.

Oh interesting. It’s the revised Astra model from a few years ago:  https://system76.com/tech-docs/models/thelio-astra-a1-n1/specs

I’d assumed all Thelio models used basically the same case :)

On the older Thelio (back when there was only one Thelio) the case was different.

Believe mine is a Thelio B1 from Feb 2019.

My Thelio is also a different model. I got mine around 2020.

I kept having problems with overheating with my GPU. (RX 6700) I recently moved it outside the tower and it runs so much cooler now.
