So I just bought this case:

And these risers:

I have had two problems.

1. No hole in the foam where the screws should go through the risers.

2. The risers are too wide for the posts.  I can screw in one side or the other but not both due to the width of the pci riser.

Should I be worried?
 yes shit risers return them

these can be directly power with pcie 6 pin and are better

it's quite stupid on these riser mfg like the 006 and 007 have mounting holes a hair off so you cant use them interchangeably.  Does the frame mfg twll you what ones to get?  If so get those lol.

My guess is that these risers are wider than normal because of the added 6pin/molex power connections on the side .  Just get some regulard v006c risers, or risers with the power connection that suits you.
