2025 Exxos PSU in 520STE – clearance / case won’t close properly

That doesn't make any sense. If you lowered the bracket, the mains input connector and switch would no longer align to the back of the case..

Of course, this was an issue to solve too.

I just measured the height of my original Falcon PSU, and it's actually about 2mm taller than the exxos PSU was designed to fit to.

Interesting. However seeing mine and @mascis's issues here can't be a coincidence either?

As @Badwolf maybe there's more to the bracket sizes/PSU sizes. Too bad I don't have an original PSU with me but the friend of mine does so we can measure it at his place later.

But even if it was true about the bracket, the original psu wouldn't fit either.. Assuming there isn't a different falcon psu design which is not as tall as well.. But surely theres no reason to have a taller bracket in the first place?

Has anyone actually looked at this post..

It would be the most likely explanation IMO. That the mains wires ended up folded over themselves which would easily explain everything.
