I got the 2080 on release day, but didn’t go for the 3080 on release cuz I feel a 20gb variant might be coming in 6 months who knows, anyways also cuz RDNA is coming (not that I necessarily want but it might pinch NVidia to early release better variants). Lastly I have a ryzen 2700 and need one...
For people talking about cooling issues with the 3080 FE in V7: I was gunna get one prolly and revise the psu so the psu sucks air from the 3080 bottom fan, and otherwise only cables that should be blocking are like Mobo, CPU, and 2x graphics plugs if u have no sata ssd
as for temps I have:
84C...
I made a thermal example video as people were asking for it. I show noise, utilization, and temperatures with 2080 FE and Ryzen 2700. Running Red Dead 2 maxed out and Rust.
Bro it took me 4 hours to install my stuff lol, everything is like crammed in, I highly recommend not using a 2.5inch at all, I have a 2.5ssd and it was a pain to fit.
for sizing info on parts that fix:
rtx 2080
Ab350 mobo
NH-L9-AM4 with upgraded fan NF-A9 PWM
Yea the 3080 barely fits V7, and on that note will need some funky adjustments because of its weird fan flow. I was gunna reverse the PSU so it’s fan sucks from the 3080 FE, instead of the back of the PSU blocking 60% of that fans air lol
The constant tease of just around the corner ETAs and then last minute satisfying deadlines or otherwise falling through is really frustrating. Like right now shipping label was made the last day of planned window, but still does not seem to have been shipped, just label created at least for...
Also of note it seems the fan setup for the Founder Editions will mean half of the exhaust air will be shot into the middle of the case the the end of the GPU and general Motherboards will meet, my Mobo has a back mounted m.2 so that will basically be like bacon in an oven with a 3080 in a V7
They say height is “2 slot”
https://graphicscardhub.com/gpu-slot-type/
So height of a 2 slot is supposed to be around 36mm, and a 2.2 slot at 42mm. Doing pixel math it also seems the 3080 is below the 43mm max height of a V7
So pending official confirmation 3080 fits in V7 but not a V5
Form what I have gathered
Velka gpu max:
289 x 43 x 140mm
Rtx 3080:
285 x ? X 112

Rtx 3080 “double” the speed of 2080
And on that note I’m currently selling my RTX 2080 for 7 packs of gum...
