Got questions about why we can't secure the gpu externally like Dan A4 and about the 4th motherboard stand off impacting durability.
Can Velka 5 also withstand frequent lan parties?
How many parts is it comprised from and can a Ryzen 7 2700 65w be cooled by a Noctua L9AM4?

There is no piece to screw in the graphics card in the back and incorporating one into this design would create compatibility issues with some graphics cards. The fourth corner of the motherboard is intended to be secured via a tab and slot in the back without a standoff. Only 3 standoffs are needed.

Yes

It is comprised of 8 parts: front panel, top + rear + bottom panel, angled hard drive bracket, flat hard drive bracket, IO shield cover, motherboard tray, 2 side panels. The Ryzen 7 2700 can be cooled by the L9a.

Hi Michael, I’ve sent you an email one week ago to cancel my order #110571405877 but I haven’t received any answer from you!
Thanks!

You can also pull the motherboard IO shield towards the back about 1-2 mm for better port fit.

Is that a wireless displayport dongle?

Is that a wireless displayport dongle?

That's a plastic port cover. It covers unused port. Some manufacturer ships cards with port covers to avoid debris getting into the port causing damage

I ordered a V3 and V5 on the same order, are you shipping them together? Or as the cases are available?

 

[VELKASE Michael]

Together. If you are outside of the US, they will be shipped with 6-10 day shipping instead of the slower shipping option

 

[BoiseTech]

Anyway to pay additional shipping and have whatever is in stock shipped first?

Everything is in stock right now so doing that will not speed things up

What Mobo are you using?

I have an Aorus X570I, I've heard there are issues with that cooler but I'd like to know if someone made them work.

Using the Aorus B450-I, and absolutely mashed one of the "chips" on the mobo at first.

But luckily i only mashed the some of it, ended up filing some of the cooler thing and bingo.

I have the same mobo and ordered the black ridge a few days ago. What do you mean by mashed "the chips"? Did you have to remove the vrm heatsink? Also... I'm curious about temps as well. I have an undervolted 1600 and the L9a was still running a bit too hot for me, plus the heat from the cooler was spilling on to the ram hence why I picked up the black ridge.
Also have you tried to orient the cooler the other way/180° clockwise? Maybe that will give you clearance

Amen Brother.

Those of you who have received cases in the UK, could you please explain what you had to do to pay the import fees? Did you receive a letter in the mail, pay at the post office, pay online, etc? Any information you could provide would be appreciated.
