I’m setting up my first gaming PC and I have the MSI MPG B550 with a Thermaltake s300 case. I’ve aligned the standoffs well, but the M.2 slot looks like it should sit flush inside or maybe just outside the cut-out area. Since most non-pre-installed AIOs require snapping to position, I’m not sure if that’s necessary here. From the images you shared, it seems the case design might be a bit tricky. The external AIO has a curved metal frame with small square cutouts that aren’t present on the pre-installed unit—this could affect how it fits. Here are the pictures: https://imgur.com/gallery/5Ru6Ja4 At 5:30 someone in another thread pointed out a possible issue about installing a M.2 drive with a pre-installed AIO. ———— Thanks for the help!
