I am not familiar with your graphics card or the thermal pad thickness it requires, but is it possible that the thermal pads are slightly too thick and are preventing adequate contact pressure for the GPU die? A recent video by JayzTwoCents illustrated this behaviour. Good luck!

Yes. The photos in the post I linked to seemed to show more than a few mm of space above the fans. Perhaps the extra wiggle room is because part of the card's overall thickness includes the rear components, thermal pads, and backplate. Those few millimeters would not contribute to the card's...

I found this post from January that shows the same graphics card with slim fans underneath it. You may want to consider doing the same before deshrouding the card.

Fans that are 25 mm thick will only fit underneath cards that are 2 slots thick. There's ~ 67 mm of vertical space for the card and the fans. Subtract the thickness of the card from 67 mm to determine how much vertical space is left. This will be the maximum thickness of anything else, such...

What I found to fit better are 140 mm fans that have non-square frames (round or octagonal) with mounting holes that are the same spacing as square 120 mm fan frames. These frames are better able to avoid overlapping the panel clips and motherboard standoffs so the fans can be placed further...

Will the wedge bracket be something that can be ordered as an accessory to add to earlier revisions of the case?

I searched on the Asus website and compared the two TUF 3080 models that were listed. The dimensions for both are listed as 29.99 x 12.69 x 5.16 cm. The height is 12.69 cm (126.9 mm). This is too different from the apparent height in the photo you provided to be accounted for by parallax...

FYI That site now has a pop-up message that states the site will be down for holidays from 10 July to 01 August and that orders received after 10 JUNE will not be shipped until August. The waterblock is also out of stock now.

Sorry, my remarks were not appropriate for this case. I mistakenly thought this was an Ncase M1 thread so I've remove my comment above. Sorry for any confusion I caused.

Deleted my post as my remarks were appropriate for the Ncase M1, not the Skyreach 4 Mini. Sorry about that.

Good eye. I thought that was the Atlas by Alpenfohn. Not many of those around. I'm interested in how it performs in the M1, too.

That looks correct to me, judging from the zoomed image on the ModDIY webpage: https://www.moddiy.com/product_images/v/391/GPU_VGA_8Pin_6Pin_PCIE_U_Turn_180_Degree_Angle_Connector_Adapter_Board_6__18936_zoom.jpg

I think it would have to help with cooling an M.2 SSD that is mounted on the back of a motherboard.

I like the Nexus logo on that velcro strap! There's a fan maker we don't hear about any more. They were the Noctua or be quiet! of their time: quiet operation with still useful airflow and pressure. They were a favourite of Mike's at Silent PC Review, too many years ago.

I never noticed before that the male half of the adapter that connects to the graphics card doesn't have a latch or clasp to lock on to the small wedge. I know disconnecting the adapter would be more difficult, but it would be manageable with a small screwdriver and I'd prefer the adapter to...
