I fitted the RTX 3080 version of this card, which I think has the same cooler, but it wasn't possible without modding the case. In the front of the case frame there is an existing 30mm wide rectangular opening which I extended to 30mm wide x 120mm deep. With the card deshrouded it's possible to squeeze it in - the end of the card sits in the hole. With some sculpting of the plastic shroud, a little at the PCIe slot end, and a bigger notch cut at the other end, it's possible to re-fit the stock shroud to it. But at that stage you're better off fitting 3x noctua A9's, I reckon.
