Raijintek Ereboss in Corsair 280x Case

thingiverse

Human: Trying to squeeze the Raijintek Ereboss into my Corsair 280x was going to be a snug fit from the start, but with some creative problem-solving, I managed to make it work. The files needed were: AM4 mounting backplate kit: This AM4 backplate fits perfectly for the bolts of the Ereboss, as the kit I initially had only supplied mounting options until AM3+. Spacer Front: These spacers go towards the front of the case; they should just sit in place nicely. Spacer Rear: These spacers go towards the rear of the case and have a small bridge underneath to accommodate the rivets used by Corsair. Using the AM4 backplate printed, place this onto the assembled metal AM3+ mounts received with the Ereboss. Ensure it's all aligned straight, then mark the new holes for the AM4 positions, making sure everything is equally spaced. Then simply drill out these new holes with a small pilot drill (2mm), followed by a larger 3.5mm bit. Now everything should be set; mount the backplate and then mount the cooler as you would on the older AM3 CPU. I also attached my AMD spite air cooler and clipped it onto the Ereboss for some extra, quiet cooling. Then place your spacers on the case, lower the glass, and tighten everything up. You will need to use longer bolts as the standard ones are not long enough; I used m4 by 20mm long bolts for this.
