You need to use standoffs with all motherboard installs. Not just in the A4

so far the leaked images of RTX2080 and RTX2080Ti show little hope of fitting as most are either wider than two slot or longer than 30cm. can't wait to see what nvidia announce this evening

There are blower style cards from Asus, MSI, Inno3D and a few others so we should be fine.
The triple slots are MAINLY 2080ti's, but the 2080 and 2070 may be better due to lower TDP.
Keep to see how the MSI Ventus stacks up, as it looks pretty nice.
In the meantime, I swapped out my Vega 64 for a Founder Edition GTX 1080 for the lower power/heat.
Will post pics when the build is done, waiting on my Ensourced shorties to arrive and another CableMod Pro extension for my GPU.
yeah after seeing the stream i checked overclockers and there's a few which will fit easily. the difference in power compared to the 10 series is incredible.
Do you know which 2080 card will fit? It is quite hard to tell from the picture if they are real dual slot or fake.
I think the non-ultra EVGA and the founders edition will fit. Do not know about those bulky looking fan one tho.
it doesn't look like many details for card length have been released yet, but the PNY 2080 triple fan is 29.5cm or so. this won't fit as the internal dimensions are smaller, but we can use that as a baseline to get a rough idea of what might fit.
for example i firmly believe the reference cards for each model will fit fine, as will many of the blower style cards which have been announced, like the Inno3D one here: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/inno...ddr6-pci-express-graphics-card-gx-072-in.html
for now it's probably best to wait for benchmarks and card details before buying. any other case i would have preordered by now but we need to be careful with the a4...
I wouldn't hold your breath on these actually being that powerful though guys. For the likes of the A4 I still think the EVGA 1080ti FTW3 is the best GPU for the case purely for how it fits.
The 20 series will perform around 20-25% better at best going off specification data provided, and the lack of real world performance data seems to correlate with that.
I hope I'm wrong, but don't pre-order a 2080ti in the hope it performs 50% better than a 1080ti for 50% more, cos you'll likely be sorely disappointed, the only performance gains you'll see will be in ray tracing which is still new tech and they still only get barely playable framerates at lower resolutions with RT on anyway (30-50 fps at 1080p in Tomb Raider with RT active on a single 2080ti)

Got Windows installed on my new build last night (finally). No GPU yet but I performed a Prime95 stress on the CPU:
i7 7700K 4.2GHz
Cryorig C7 w/ 120mm Noctua 15mm
97C (yikes)
Underclocked the CPU to a measly 4.0GHz and it now sits at 80C under maximum load. A delid should get me a bit more performance but overall I'm happy with those results. Will have to retest once I've got a GPU in the machine.

Yeah with the Kaby/Coffee lake CPU's you can so much out of delidding with very little effort or risk, I reckon you can drop your temps by a good 10c by doing it.
Hello again, like probaly many know, the v3 has a better USB-Layout than the v2 and therefore doesen't have to detach it. I don't really like seeing a hole at the front. Is with better layout meant the port is on a different position or the cable dodges the AIO somehow. If the 2. is right, can we buy the better USB later somehow? cause im not planing of building it right now and can wait. Cheers.
the usb cable for the front IO on the v3 is molded in a way where it doesn't interfere with a 92mm AIO radiator mounted at the front bottom of the case
afaik dan hasn't got any plans to make the usb cable available for purchase
If you did an ITX GPU, 120 Rad and HDPlex, could you fit a ddc and Mobo monoblock?
Just curious if it would fit
