Has anyone measured the stock fan depth? You could possibly fit a pair of 120x15mm fans in there (if you bend the brackets out of the way). Might be an improvement?

looks like RTX3080FE thermals are not going to be great in the Dan A4 :( Will just have to try squashing an EVGA in there if I can ever get my hands on one!

I've seen it done by a guy a with full custom loop in his Dan A4, but he had to make super slim custom PSU cables, and I think he lifted the GPU up as well IIRC.

I'm not sure you're reading that graph right - it's an odd graph because it's all relative to 980 performance. Anyway, assuming the 3070 does equal a 2080Ti, it should be around 30% faster than a 2080. And if you can actually get 3070's for $500, getting $400 for your used 2080 is actually a...

Haven't seen this linked here: Looks like you CAN run a 3080 with a 600W PSU (if you're careful and not maxing CPU power draw).

The Ultra has higher factory boost clocks than the black, and also a full backplate.

I found more pics of the PCB vs cooler, and it looks like there's definitely extra clearance there: By my calculations, the PCB is only ~265mm long, and the "Black Gaming" version of the card doesn't have the full backplate, so that might help too.

I'm working on the assumption that a PCIe 3.0 motherboard (B450 in my case) means that a PCIe 3.0 riser will be fine. I *think* the riser is only a concern if the card and MB can do PCIe 4.0...

I’ve just been fiddling with trying to get my PSU reversed in preparation. Trouble is, with the connectors on the SF750 in a different orientation they interfere with the tubing for the 645LT...

I've got the bulk of my PSU cables on the mobo side - which means there's no space issues around the GPU. Definitely using screws rather than grommets on the radiator for that extra little bit of space, and bending the PSU cables up away from the fan as tight as you can helps. Mine's a little...
