[SOLVED] Having trouble fitting power supply into the case

[Exterminator1]

So this might be a bit long so i apologize.

The Case I am trying to build into is a RVZ03-ARGB by silverstone and the power supply i'm trying to use in it is a SX700-LPT also by silverstone.

So at first i was having trouble getting the PSU mounting bracket to remount back onto the chassis after installing the PSU into it. After a couple hours of pushing on the metal i managed to get 3 of the 4 screws in to the holes. Still i'm not sure if something is wrong with it or if i am doing it right. Th Second issue is the Internal Power Cable. I had to route it overtop the PSU Mounting bracket because of the orientation of the PSU Plug, in the back.

I made a post on reddit about it here

Once again sorry about the long post but i'm super frustrated with this and wonder if anyone had any experience with this. I also emailed silverstone and i am waiting to hear back.

The case is ATX PSU compatible according to the product page:

The PSU you're trying to put in to it is SFX-L form-factor according to the product page:

Hence case mounting holes don't match those on the PSU. PSU needs to be ATX spec.

i forgot to mention. there's a SFX to ATX Mounting bracket you can buy so a SFX will fit into the atx housing and i bought that and installed it on there aswell. https://www.silverstonetek.com/sstedm/pp08/pp08_edm_en.pdf that could have something to do with it too im not sure.

The mounting bracket states that it's for both SFX and the larger SFX-L PSU so I don't know why you are having issues with it. Yours is the first post I've seen on these forums where an SFX/SFX-L PSU is being used so there's very little relevant info to look at.

Phil. Thanks for responding. after a couple more days i just gave up on that case. I never received an email back from silverstone. Seems like it's just a compatibility issue with that power supply and case. I bought a Phantek's Evolv Shift Air hope to get it sometime next week and i will try again. looks like everything should fit into that one.

Good luck with new case 😊
