Movable spineAdjustable spine that shares space between the graphics card and CPU cooler

Moving the spine towards the graphics card fits a taller cooler, and towards the cooler fits a thicker card; both cannot be at their largest at once.

Fractal Design		—
Graphics cardUp to 322 mm long; for cards under 131 mm tall, 72 mm thick in Max GPU mode or 43 mm in Max CPU mode

For cards 131–145 mm tall the thickness limit drops to 62/33 mm. Fractal’s FAQ gives different width figures, so check the manual before buying.

Fractal Design		Up to 460 mm long; optional VG4-5-V4X/W vertical bracket (PCIe 5.0 riser) or O11DEXL-1X/W upright bracket

Horizontally mounted cards up to 460 mm fit. The upright bracket places the card next to the motherboard; then the card must be at most 358 mm long, 150 mm wide and 80 mm thick (75 mm with a 420 mm radiator top or bottom). Older VG4-4X/W brackets are not compatible.

Front I/O1 × USB-C 20 Gbps (USB 3.2 Gen 2x2), 1 × USB-A 5 Gbps, power button

Lian Li does not state the USB-C speed; it depends on the motherboard’s front USB-C header.
