SOLVED: PCIe low-profile to full size bracket

[iif2fo]

OK, this is pretty niche, but I'll ask anyway.

I recently moved to a bigger PC case. I wanted to bring along my low profile Intel A380 GPU with me to the new bigger case.

Except there's a problem. The new case has full-sized PCIe bracket/shield/backplates. The A380's shield bracket is too wide to fit through the case's slot.

I was able to unscrew the A380's bracket and install the card without it, but now the card is just sitting there not secured to anything.

Does anyone know if there's some longer bracket I can buy?
I was trying to find something like this: https://www.amazon.com/8cm-Profile-Brack...0D2RP9K97/

But, with holes for HDMI and DP. Although, I actually don't use the ports since it's a server, so maybe that bracket would work?... 🤔

I attached a photo of the unscrewed low-profile bracket in case it's useful to see.

The inner screw distance is 54mm and the desired length is 120mm.

The full sized bracket should have been in the box your Arc GPU came in.  Hopefully you didn't throw that away....

Aw, man. I bought a refurbished card from Newegg. It just came with the card and that's it.

Whomp. I doubt you'll be able to buy a bracket that works for your specific card. Unless you know someone who has the same card and doesn't need the full size bracket. Luckily it is a small, light card. Not having support from the bracket is probably fine.

Reporting back: I bought https://www.amazon.com/8cm-Profile-Brack...0D2RP9K97/ and tried it with my video card.

Pro:
I was able to use the bracket mentioned above to install my low profile Intel A380 in a full-sized slot! It fit great.

Con:
The bracket above prevents me from plugging in a monitor to the GPU.

In my case, that's totally fine because I'm running a headless server, so I never need to plug in an HDMI cable to my GPU for a monitor.

Overall, I think it was worth the trade off for me!

You might be able to cut holes in the bracket for the video out ports, but you would need something like a small disk grinder

So I have the reversed issue as you. I think I threw out the box with the smaller ITX bracket... And I've now moved from an mATX to an ITX case.

I tried buying a different bracket but it didn't fit. If you're open to it, maybe we could swap?

Only problem is, is my card is an Asrock Intel Arc A310. My full size bracket looks like it could be compatible with yours and vice versa.

Let me know if you're interested in a swap attempt haha
