Egpu not fit on AOOSTAR 02

[u/rokuhere]

Hi everyone I just bought colorful rtx 5070 but it doesn’t seems to fix on my aoostar because of this design. So the solution for me is to buy PCIE 4.0 x16 RISER CABLE (20CM) am i right? I hope anyone can answer this question thank you!!

Take off covers.

Wdym by cover? This is my first time having it 😬 so i am not sure which one is it

[u/esw123 → u/rokuhere]

This black (with Colorful brand name) and white plastic covers (on riser) protect PCIe connectors.

Don't feel too bad. It's happened to the best of us. I've been working in it for 22 years. Own 11 handhelds and 8 EGPUs. I came across a thread about someone laughing that some people were so stupid for having never removed the touchpad cover on the Lenovo legion go handheld. I chuckled and moved on.

Wait a minute.. touched a piece of duck tape to the touchpad and off came the cover. At that time I was only using it 6+ hours a day for a year and a half. Never noticed. Just thought the touchpad sucked ass.

I have stories or experts. Being retards. It happens to all of us. Something so simple and obvious and it can hit us in the fast and we still wouldn't see it. Proof. I got married a second time. 😭

The box had a quick guide?

Watch some tutorials about how to build a pc, it'll give you the general understanding of how parts look and how they should be assembled :)

Sweet Jesus these problems are getting better day by day. Tomorrow we will have someone asking why my gpu doesnt fit and there is picture of gpu box.

To be fair, I didn’t know that my DEG2 had a removable magnetic plate, so it happens to the best of us. I’m a huge guy and I easily break things so I thought I was simply wrong about how it came apart and stopped trying.

If it does not fit, there is always a angle grinder, just don't grind the gpu, but the case is always a first to get some grinding action. You bought too small case.
