Hello!
Just got my Mjolnir today (Dark, US) and it's awesome! Fantastic build quality and no blemishes or loose parts, but some of the rubber corners fell out when I tried to reinsert the core. Some feedback for v2:

- Magnetized screws would be excellent (the fact that they aren't already is a real bummer)
- Segregating/labeling different screw types
- The magnetized windows leave no tolerance for cables pushing against the walls. Perhaps have the windows attach from the inside?
- It's really easy to have your finger get caught when inserting the core (and it's hard to get blood off the anodizing)
- It didn't do anything to help me get a GPU
The amount of pictureless posts about recieved Mjolnirs is too damn high!
1. are you saying you lost a finger while assembling this? lolHello!

and unfortunately my existing GPU is water cooled and won't fit - so I'd like an award for "most underpowered Mjolnir" with my HD4850

2. interesting observations!
3. are you willing to show us your completed Dark Mjolnir? Everyone has been showing off stealth.
Thanks!
The UPS flight that brought the Mjolnirs to the USA goes from Hong Kong to Anchorage Alaska. From their they either go to Louisville Kentucky, if east coast, or Ontario California if west coast. Then they are further dispatched to the final sort area and eventually out for delivery!!
What if (somehow) use/make a single pci bracket for the GPU and rise the riser by exactly 1pci width, towards the exterior of the case with some M3 "motherboard-styled" spacers? Depending on the model you'll lose some DP/HDMI ports but it could be doable. The real challenge would be keeping that beast cool with a 120 rad thoughLooks like my watercooled 3090 with active backplate won’t fit
Exact same case here. I’m in Cali. Never had a shipment be scheduled, delayed a few days, and then rescheduled back again before.

Do you mean:The new EK aio is so nice, unfortunately won't fit inside Mjolnir

I thought they would fit, but would require more manuevering.
No they mean: https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-nucleus-aio-cr120-lux-d-rgb
The radiator and pump are simply too big to fit.
The one you linked could fit snuggly (pump height is 53mm, max supported in Mjolnir is ~51mm)
Sorry forgot to clarify. Yep, was talking about this new nucleus model.

If you maneuver a bit you can fit 54mm w performance panels
Have to install the cooler after inserting the core into the shell.

AIO are for the weaks ! That's how you're supposed to cool a Mjolnir
You have the right idea!! You could even fit a water cooled strix 3090 in Mjolnir with this method! (By dropping the pcie bracket down instead of pushing it forward with spacers) I did exactly what your talking about in my formd t1 so my 3080 FE would have extra space for flow through cooling. I'm going to be doing exactly this with my Mjolnir too when I stick my water blocked 3080 in it so that I can route the tubes behind the gpu and out the empty pcie slot to the outside of the case for hookup to my external rads.What if (somehow) use/make a single pci bracket for the GPU and rise the riser by exactly 1pci width, towards the exterior of the case with some M3 "motherboard-styled" spacers?

- Nope, but took a bit of skin off my thumb which started bleeding. Pro tip - place the shell on the core, not the core into the shell. My issue was that my fan cable got stuck at the last 5mm or so, and when I pushed it in with my thumb the entire core fell into place and clipped a bit of skin.
- Gracias!
- Working on it! I didn't get home until about 7PM last night so haven't had a ton of time, and I'm still struggling a bit with cable management. Also having an issue with the PSU not lying completely flat, but I think that's also a cable management issue, Will take another stab at it today to try to stop stuff from bulging against the panels and I'll take some photos (I'm new to SFF and coming from an 011 dynamic, so this is a bit of a challenge)
Also when I do post pics brace yourself for the glorious 2008-era video card. Looks real ridiculous.
Totally understand! Last year I used a geforce 9600 gt to boot and test my components till I got my gpu lol
