Elgato 4k60 Pro on Framework Desktop

Hi All, has anyone tried putting an Elgato 4k60 Pro in the in the Framework Desktop in its original case? I’ve heard its not really supposed to have clearance for PCIe usage but i feel like the Elgato 4k60 Pro is small enough to fit. I’m planning on using it as a Streaming PC.

Thanks!

Unfortunately you cannot use the 4K60 Pro with the Framework Desktop case. The reason for this is because there are no slots on the back of the case where you can run the HDMI in and out cables. Additionally there is no place to secure the card.

If you were wanting to use it, you would need to have the Mainboard in another case, or on a test bench chassis (for example, OpenBenchable which is what I personally use with my 4K Pro). Here is an image of my setup on it for example.
