Backplate still attached. Doing some testing first before I remove it. Side panel ALMOST fits (like 1mm) it rubs on the raised logo for the "E" in EVGA.Seems like you still need to remove the backplate after all? How are the temps?

I fixed it!As everyone pointed out in the disassemble videos, the backplate is only for aesthetics and does not touch or cool anything on the PCB, it just hides the ARGB leds
@dondan I need a new plastic side panel clip...can you help? (Mine broke during watercooling)

Just had my Dan Case delivered today from Caseking.de after a month of waiting! ?
Still waiting for the RTX 3070 release and the AMD Zen 3 announcement so I have to patiently wait. However, once I have everything I will surely post a build log!
I have a question though. I have the Black Ridge and Noctua Chromax A9x14. Initially I intendent to put the Chromax as a case fan and leave the Black Ridge be. However, now I wonder if I should replace stock BR fan right away (and use it as the case fan). How do you guys reckon?

Don't see a watercooler in the pics, does it fit?
I fixed it!
I'm weary of anything that will void the card warranty, but I can take a look!Nice! I wonder if there's a way to get a mm back somewhere else, so as to not have to rely on these sticky pads. (Can the EVGA logo be taken off the fans? Could something else be shifted by a mm?)
EDIT: Also, would the situation be different for the non-backplate version? I imagine the fans jut out the same amount on all these cards, regardless of backplate...

I noticed that you have the underPSU fan on intake mode. Just wanted to point out that perhaps you could take advantage of exhausting the hot air that comes from the graphic card instead of both airflows colliding. I have an 2070 with the same 3-fan layout and can assure you that bottom fan moves quite a good amount of heat outside the case.

Good news: It fits.
Bad news. It doesn't fit (with backplate). The fans hit the side panel.
Like a glove
