@Nichronos you're info doesn't match what's stated by EVGA in the link above. It looks like all variants will fit - I'd hope that Dan knows his stuff

Based on? I'd be keen to see the source of the 44mm, given that the EVGA forum post was from an EVGA employee.I've seen that post and the dude who wrote it is wrong
Hes not wrong, but the information is confusing because its irrelevant. The backplate is 4.2mm, but the XC3 coolers still protrude from underneath the metal plate (40mm) by 4-5mm. Look at the metal slots photos on evga website. Its also why they list it as a 2.2 slot card.
I get what you're saying, but I still can't find any source for 44mm - and how do you know the backplate is 4.2mm or that the metal plate is 40mm?
Based on what Dan said:
I'm a bit confused.
Hi Nigel,
I'm really curious about your results and thank you for pioneering here. In general, I'm still concerned a little about the power consumption of the 3080's. So what kind of PSU do you have in your build?
Regards,
Paul
Sure ill do immediately when they actually send me one... wonder how much will i wait
Keep us posted! I have an XC3 Ultra on order, so I'll let everyone know when I get that!Sure ill do immediately when they actually send me one... wonder how much will i wait

Not sure why you say that
Will this GPU fit the A4 case?
Hi, I am currently planning a new PC with A4 SFX case. But I have some confusion about the GPU volume limitation. According to the case's specification, it supports GPUs with 40 (without backplate) and 45 (including backplate) at most. I do not quite understand this description. For now, I am...
smallformfactor.net
Dan who created the case.. has the CAD which shows every bit of measurment.
The absolute clearance is 47mm with the backplate. 42 above PCB / 5mm back plate.
Based on EVGA (https://forums.evga.com/Introducing...ith-iCX3-Technology-m3072847-p11.aspx#3073427)
Thickness of the 3090/3080 XC3 models with backplate (XC3 Ultra/XC3) is 1.78in. - 45.1mm.
Thickness of the 3090/3080 XC3 models without backplate (XC3 Black) is 1.61in. - 40.9mm.
Based on the measurement, all variance of xc3 should fit. could be a tight fit but it should.
But good luck to those who was able to grab one.. i tried.. but didnt succeed
I also placed an order for a 3080 EVGA XC3 Black at a German retailer which was confirmed this morning. I'm using the Asetek AiO 645lt with a 3700X. Will post results.
I also have a Sapphire rx 580 and I use it without the side panel. That side faces the wall so it still looks great on the desk.
Ok new info from this awesome Youtuber LINK (look in the top comments)
GPU is 1.75” exactly including backplate, = 44.5mm
So here it is boys, all models will actually fit in the DAN A4

Looks like we've got another option for 3090, if anyone wants to put an industrial floor dryer in their Dan A4 lol
Hi Paul,
I have a Corsair CP-9020186-UK SF750 80 Plus Platinum Certified Power Supply installed in my Dan Case A4.
I'm not sure of the ETA on my 3080 as OCUK have made a mess of ordering and I'm on a waiting list.
I don't exactly
know what I'm talking about but my guess is this is designed first and foremost for rendering racks, and the 3080 doesn't have SLI and has less VRAM and thus makes less sense for a rack.
