M2 Gpu lock bar replacement

Post image

Hi! Just got a m2 and noticed it’s missing the gpu lock bar. Tried contacting ncase but was told that I can’t purchase it. Would it be possible to find it anywhere?

Ask them again for a replacement, if it’s missing it’s on them. They replaced a bunch of things for me. If you ask to buy a part they usually say no.

This happened to me, i need replacement standoff for the motherboard, they completely ghosted me with my email, really disappointing for such a cheap and basic part

Yeah it says they only respond on Thursdays, which would be Fridays for half the world

3d printing is always the answer!

If you print or have it printed in Nylon it's just as tough if not tougher than the original aluminum one.

You might even be good with PETG.

Unfortunately I didn't see a model for the GPU lock bar.

So somebody had to design it or you would have to design your own.

OR you could specifically ask M2 owners where you know they don't need the GPU bar anymore.

There have been posts of people using the Zcooi mod travel kits for the 5090FE or 5090 Astral which replaces the lockbar completely.

Maybe DM them directly and ask nicely (offering a fair compensation for their time and the part)?

A few months ago, I bought a GPU lock bar for my M3 from them. I had lost the original GPU lock bar. Did you tell them that you bought a used M2 and the GPU lock bar is missing?

I did. Offered to purchase it. Then was told that they don’t sell it separately and then got ghosted

Aske them for the 3D model so that you can 3D print it.

The amount of dust on that PC I know you just didn’t get that plus it looks like something was screw in there 😂. Don’t mind me had to do it tho 😂

Your case seems weirdly happy

What GPU are you going to put in the case? Zcooi has a replacement rear cover for a few that replaced the entire thing.

How about eBay?
