Sorry guys for late response. I tried how the back plate holds before I decided to mount the card without support bracket (most of the case do not even have the support bracket anyway). It was okay. Back to my issue. I gave it another try. This time I moved the bracket closer to the side glass and suddenly it somehow fits even though you have to make the parts fit together with a bit of extra force. Still some visible flaws but I do not want to touch it anymore. Main thing - stable OC of the GPU at 2115 Mhz, not exceeding 65 degrees (NON OC CARD). Thank you for your support.

That picture is not mine, I found it on the internet (I am at work now). I have the GPU bracket rotated and assembled as it should for vertical mount. I have removed the support bracket from my PC already since it has no real meaning for me. As soon as I am back home, I will upload the picture, so you clearly know where is the problem.... Described by words - afte complete proper assembly of all parts, the GPU is not reaching PCI-e connector in support bracket. Reasons: 1) the VGA Bracket is too high (GPU cannot move more down) 2) Support bracket is too low (cannot be moved up - depending on VGA bracket ).

Hello, Thank you for your feedback. To be honest I had the same idea when I saw those two spacers inside of packaging. First smaller one is usable for default position of the support bracket. The other longer spacer would give me the space I am missing. Unfortunately it seems that designers in TT forgot to include second position for the support bracket in case - because there is no possibility to assemble the complete support bracket higher than is the default. If I decide to put the second longer spacer in place, I just rise the bracket on one side what makes no sense at all. The Core P5 vertical bracket seems to be 1 piece. In my case this bracket is made from 2 parts - standard back VGA bracket + the supporting one inside the case (where the spacer is placed). Regarding the riser cable - I bought TT riser cable in order to avoid assembly issues. LOL. If you check the picture in here, it is easy to notice that there is missing second higher slot for the support bracket. It is either this position, or the same position with one edge higher than the other ones (I wonder who thinks that is a good idea), or you have no support bracket at all. Case manual does not mention anything about two options for the support bracket assembly. Is there a compatibility overview for TT cases? Such basic thing should be available in order to avoid these kinds of situations.... Maybe the case is not even RTX compatible, but I guess only TT knows.

Hello guys, I have bought Thermaltake S500 case - mainly due to vertical GPU mount options. Unfortunately I have discovered that after assembly of all parts together, during final assembly of GPU I am missing like 1cm in order to connect GPU to the GPU riser cable bracket. I checked if the supporting bracked can be raised inside of the case, unfortuantely without success. Currently, the GPU is still mounted vertically but completely without the supporting bracket inside the case - assembled just in to standard rear gpu bracket. Assembly seems okay, sogging compatible with standard assembly of GPU.... GPU is Palit Gamerock RTX 3080. Is there some official information statement regarding compatibility available...? Thank you very much in advance!
