Log Clearance space is enough?

[lucasbarrios]

Hi. I already have an NCASE M1 and a GTX 1080 TI Strix from Asus. I want to try watercooling my pc and if I want to watercool my gpu, I need a waterblock. The only waterblock I found is from EK, ( https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-fc1080-gtx-ti-strix-nickel-rev-2-0 ) I saw Ali from Optimum Tech do it first but don't know if my gpu will fit WITH the waterblock seeing that it extends a few inches outwards. I was wondering if someone tried this before and if there's anything I can do to fit the waterblock in this case? Maybe I'm missing something. Or is the Strix that much bigger than the founders edition?
Thanks for reading!

About 1 cm of clearance or 0.39 inches

Yup, that's about right. The Strix model is about 13.4cm wide while the FE is about 11.1cm. Almost a full inch wider or deeper or whatever you want to call it. lol

Got it. I guess I'll try this mod then
