Looks like i made an error but his card doesnt look like 151 i think this is wrong.

Since i do not got an reply from microcenter i do not have a direct seller in US. But overclockers.co.uk will ship very fast and easy to US. Idk if they do preorders.
@dondan going back to Corsair Dominator and AIO bracket (not asking for a 2nd fan on Noctua D12L):
- Is it possible to use Corsair Dominator with AIO bracket and Noctua NF-P14s redux-1500 PWM (25mm height) on it?
- Is there any value to use Corsair Dominator or fanless LP ram as Crucial DDR5 would be cooled enough?
Sorry if this has been answered somewhere else, but what is maximum GPU thickness allowed if I also want to use 2 slim 15-16mm fans on the top side?
one question
if you answered it before i apologize, haven't looked at whole thread.
when water cooling the cpu, best temperatures are with vents as exhaust or as intake?

Best CPU temps with fan intake best balanced temps with fan exhaust
Hi Dan,
Apologies if you have already answered this (I searched through the thread and did not find an answer). I was wondering how much clearance would there be at the rear of the mobo to install a NVME with a heatsink? Namely the Firecuda 530, thanks.

Dear @dondan, please answer:
- moddiy angled 12vhpwr adapter. Will it fit the case so that the side panel could be closed or same situation as with angled CableMod?
- CableMod flex 12vhpwr. I assume this is the best one to fit this case

Hi Dan,
Specifications web page says the following about GPU compatibility:
What does "PCIe power sockets needs to be 15mm lower" mean? (typo in "neets" by the way)
Also, would 4080 FE with EKWB with EK-Quantum Vector² FE fit? It is technically 148mm high altogether, one slot:
And lastly, I take it Iceman pump/res combo support has been removed?
Cheers.

These adapters might be your life saviors

148mm inclusive of the power connectors. If the power connectors are right at 148mm, there is no room for the actual PCIe power to plug in. So 15mm is recommended for the power connector.
As for the EK block, forget about it. The block alone is 148mm, and that doesn't include the PCIe slot of the GPU itself, which adds 15mm. Rotary or angled terminals won't save you here either.
So I'm guessing doing a custom loop in C4-SFX with this gen Nvidia GPUs at least, at the moment, would not be really viable?
My current machine is a dual-radiator custom loop in an NCase M1 with 2080Ti/5600X. Even with 2080Ti it was a tight fit. No existing 4080 water block even remotely fits it, and I was hoping C4-SFX would be the solution, but alas.
I assume the reasonable thing to do with C4 is to simply air-cool the GPU and use an AIO for the CPU, or maybe not even bother with an AIO and go all air, given how much compatibility it has with some pretty beefy heatsinks, and functionally it wouldn't be much worse than a custom loop, if at all. Just a lot less fun tinkering-wise.
Would have to go with something like ek-pro-gpu-wb-amp-trinity-rtx-4090-rack-nickel-inox to make it work in C4? Anybody aware of other blocks like this? I've searched quite a bit but am coming up short.

Thanks for confirming the LF 280 AIO will fit, I was planning to buy it for this build, but now I'm wondering if it's a good idea to put it in this case. The extra thick rad will put the fans farther back against the PSU and MB (the straight tubes from the block probably don't help either), so I was wondering what your opinion is on whether a more traditional AIO (like Kraken X63) would be better to use, or if the LF 280 would still have superior performance even with less breathing room.
