puntoboy Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 I have just built a new PC in a Phanteks Evolv Shift Air Case. This case requires that the motherboard I/O faces up instead of towards the back the case. Because of this I mounted the CPU block for the H80i a 90 degrees to where it would normally be mounted, which is fine for the mount, but the problem I have is the USB port on the side of the CPU block. There is only about 10mm between the block and the RAM and as this is a mini-ITX system, there are only two slots. I've ordered a couple of different USB cables, one angled up and the other right (opposite the the one that comes with the cooler). The up angled one doesn't fit, the plastic part of the connector alone is 11mm so it's too long. the other cable hasn't arrived yet. Any other ideas? At the moment I can't control the cooling which is concerning me a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puntoboy Posted January 27, 2020 Author Share Posted January 27, 2020 I managed to solve this. I bought one of these and trimmed the black rubber part you provide enough clearance. https://smile.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00WT3NNBY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
