Question Vertical GPU mount ?

[mrclownface]

Hi there,
I have a Lian Li 216 lancool case and i want to vertically mount an MSI 2070 Super graphics card.
I purchased an Asus Rog Strix riser cable but I found that the mounting holes in the cable did not line up with the standoffs that screw into the case to support the card.

On this case you can mount the card without buying an additional bracket because the bracket on the rear of the case can be removed and mounted vertically.
I'm just not sure why it wouldnt fit. Are the mounting points on the riser cables different for gen 3.0
compared to gen 4.0?

This is what you should've gotten to ensure you didn't run into compatibility issues;

PCI-e 4.0 X16 Riser cable - LIAN LI is a Leading Provider of PC Cases | Computer Cases

The latest PCIe 4.0 supports transfer rates of 16GT/s bit rate. While providing double the bandwidth of PCIe 3.0, the Gen 4.0 riser cable remains backward compatible with a maximum transfer speed, offers great performance, and shows off the GPU at a great new angle.
