And the AXP-90 X53 cooler should work in that case with a Zen 4 GPU, right?

@riba Now that the RDNA 3 GPUs have been released, does my previous set of components still look as if they will fit? What about the 7900 XTX?

I do see that TechPowerUp claims that the 7900XT has a width of 135 mm, relative to 120 mm for the 6800 XT. So is that wrong? Or is that not relevant for the fit?

Hmmm, interesting. So maybe I could try something like this: 7900 XT reference GPU 7950x CPU + cooler V850 SFX 850 W PSU ASUS ProArt X670E-Creator motherboard The CPU might run a little hot, but I currently have the 5950x in the v2 without any issues except in hot summer weather. So if I can...

Perhaps the 7800 XT will be the same size as the 6800 XT?

I assume that the width of the recently announced 7900 XT is too large to fit in the case. I know that both it and the 6800 XT (which does fit) are 2.5 slots for marketing purposes, but I think the 7900 XT is actually larger, right?

I am looking to make a new computer with a 4080 16 GB, since 12 GB is really not enough VRAM for what I need to do. Would that essentially require an ITX motherboard in this case? (Obviously, if the RDNA GPUs that come out have a good combination of RAM, performance, and compatibility, that...

So I have this case with an RTX 3080 and a 5950x, as well as a Scythe Shuriken 2 cooler. The 5950x seems to get hot quite quickly, causing the fans to work overtime. For instance, it usually exceeds 80 or 85 under minimal load (3 or 4 logical processors worth out of 32), and it readily exceeds...

I almost never see anything higher than 4.7 in Task Manager, even with all but one application turned off.

I got my case, put the components, and it is working fine. I am using a Scythe Shuriken cooler. Two questions: do you know a good backpack that could fit the case, without the stand? Also, any idea what to do about low clock speeds on the 5950x?

It seems good but it also seems like none of the coolers you two mentioned are available at Microcenters. Do you know any good ones that are?

Is my case shipping this week as you said it would last week?

Also, which GPU braces are compatible, if any?

Do you have a recommendation for a good lightweight cooler for that? I am trying to keep the weight down.

Hi, I have all the components ready for the case: An Asrock x570 creator, a 5950x, the EVGA 3080 XC3 Ultra, a Noctua NH-L9A-AM4 chromax.black. I did have a question, though. You suggested not putting in an additional case fan, but I set all this up in a much larger case and without a fan, the...
