Case problem Armor mx

Level 9
Just Got the Armor mx case as liked the look of it ok problem my mb is fitted but on the mb plate its smaller to the mb so i have some screws not in it but mb fits like a dream will this be a problem or make problems with my mb seems it dont really fit on the back plate. also im going to water cool it my graf cards only just fit in the case like but i have a gap at the bottom would it be ok to run my water tube's under the gap or would it kink the tube ??? im hoping to fit the radiator at top of case as it'll fit there with no problem yeah i have a radiator lol just no other stuff yet 🙂 what i was thinking is getting a reservoir or two and fitting them on back of pc with the tubes going into the case yeah i would be drilling the hole's and putting them rubber ring things on it after sanddind them.

The case is microATX or ATX right? Which board are you fitting in it? and how many screws can you fit.....like 6...3 on the left 3 down the middle kind of thing? If you have holes in the motherboard left over but no where to properly fit standoffs you could cut the thread off the standoffs and smooth them and then screw them to the board just so they make sure the board cant flex backwards and contact the case. You'd just have to make sure the board isn't flexed forward.

What's your mobo exactly? The thing is that having waterblocks on different parts, it will increase the weight of those components... and that may bend your mobo... which was not designed to be bent... 😞
