AFAIK you cant buff out scratches in anodized aluminum. What I would do is try and find some model making paint that matches the color of the case as closely as possible and lightly cover the scratches if theyre small. If the scratches are really big and deep, you could sandblast, paint and clear coat it or have an automotive body shop do it. Or get it re-anodized or cerakoted.Really Loving this case already. I did, however, scratch it up a little bit. If someone could give me some tips on clearing them up or buffing them out, it would be highly appreciated.

Again this is just what I would do, if someone else has a better idea and more experience with this please comment.
A little battle damage isnt the end of the world either, it gives your case character. If its not real bad, just leave it as is.
Sure is!Is it possible to invert the inner frame? I prefer having the DDC bracket on the bottom for better access and to have the pump facing upright.
Is this the only way to use an alternative riser? The stock bracket can’t be moved to accommodate others? Tried searching for the answer but seems like I’m stuck with the stock type riser/mounting yes?Aww yeah! We back in business!! I built a bracket out of an old HP computer chassis that will allow me to mount a different pcie riser in slate case!! My rooms a freakin mess from this lol.
Thanks Taylor! Yeah I realized that when I plugged my 3090 FE into it and it booted fine. The riser you shipped works perfectly at gen 4 speeds with my 3090 FE. Its just my 4090 strix that is very picky about which risers it wants to play with, unfortunately haha.
Edit:
One more pic, gonna paint my bracket I made black:
I can help answer your question better if you can explain what you would like to accomplish. If you're asking if there are alternative riser cables you can use, there are some from Linkup Cables, but it needs to be one that is angled like the stock one.Is this the only way to use an alternative riser?

I have the same cobalt riser that I wanted to use as I’ve found it to be the most reliable riser out of all that’s I’ve used. It would appear that I’m in a similar predicament with the riser not working with my 4090 that was working just hours before on the cobalt riser on my T1. Looks like I’m draining everything and testing to see if it’s the riser, RIP.I can help answer your question better if you can explain what you would like to accomplish.

N9neBreak3r made his own bracket becuase he wanted to use a cable that didn't have the same angled connector.
Yeah I can help you with this. Can you email the support email from Protolyth.com?I have the same cobalt riser that I wanted to use as I’ve found it to be the most reliable riser out of all that’s I’ve used.

Edit: I just janked in my cobalt riser and it works just fine. So the supplied riser is not compatible for whatever reason.
Edit2: Would you mind sharing the CAD of the adjustable tray with PCIE bracket so I can model an adapter to 3D print?
Yes of course, thank you! I used the contact form on the website?Yeah I can help you with this. Can you email the support email from Protolyth.com?
Also, which model of the 4090 do you have?
Any chance you could share your bracket file with me after you design it?Edit2: Would you mind sharing the CAD of the adjustable tray with PCIE bracket so I can model an adapter to 3D print?

So your 4090 doesnt want to work with the stock riser either? Mine also wouldnt work with the riser that comes with the lianli o11 mini (which mounts the same way as the slate case riser). My guess is that any riser that mounts in that style wont be compatible. I think it comes down to the thickness of the pcie fingers on our 4090s. The louqe riser has a real tight fit and allows good connection.
If you need any help with making your bracket just lmk. The biggest challenge for me was getting the z height correct. Took a few attempts but I got it right and its been working great!
Hell yeah! Great work! Much more elegant looking than my approach lol.
Fits and pc is happily working
Just uploading .stl's to my etsy store.

Yeah look, love the jank but ain’t not cut side panel going in my caseHell yeah! Great work! Much more elegant looking than my approach lol.
Im sure youve noticed that using this style of riser takes away some space that could be devoted to radiator or fan placement. Its probably why @TaylorChiller went with the angled style that ships stock.
