I am ready to place a preorder for a white case please !
Ordered the Asus 3080TUF, as I saw that the 3080Fe is running 15c warmer.
I will be waiting for a white case and separate black side panels, so probably until a larger batch is available. But will check in every week. Just do the same as the last time something similar happened and combine the cases from this week into a larger (double) batch for next week Friday.
Now it's for the T1. It is based off the spec sheet on the 1st page and the specs already listed. I did not double check them.Someone else can work from here lol.
Edit: fix the width from 59.2 to 60 (i'll fix the colors later lol)
Thanks for this. Also Aorus Xtreme/Master cards are 3.5 slots/70mm thick. No chance.
Can I be the first one who really got a RTX3080 on hand? (I mean except reviewing guys lol)
All set, maybe I should create a thread for my 240+280 radiator build later!

I'm still waiting to recieve my gpu waterblock (probably next week) so I won't share my build right now but I thought it would be cool to share some information about... magnets ? for future T1 adopters.
Here's how you can have the side panels hold in place when you remove the top and/or bottom panel(s) :
Here's what I bought in order to do this :
Previously I tried this, but it really wasn't great :
As always be careful with Amazon as prices can sometimes be really high for some items, a Google search might sometimes save you a few bucks.
Hope it'll help!

Here's a review of several 3080's with temps. I thought it might be good to make an informed choice which gpu to get when wtercooling is not preferred.

ASUS GeForce RTX 3080 TUF Gaming OC Review
The ASUS GeForce RTX 3080 TUF Gaming OC comes with a small factory overclock and a huge cooler that achieves amazing temperatures that are much better than the NVIDIA Founders Edition. The TUF also features a dual BIOS with a "quiet" mode that makes this 4K monster card almost silent.
I thought that as well. Especially since Tom's Hardware reports that it's 38mm thick. Narrow enough to fit in the 39.2mm 2 slot mode dimension of the T1.

The GeForce RTX 3080 delivers big gains over Turing and the RTX 2080 Ti, but at a lower price.

Yup like I said in my post I didn't double check the measurements just converted the table. I updated it this morning because the link from formdworks.com that list GPU compatibility has a 1080 Strix fitting in two slots and it is 40mm. I don't know where the 40mm comes from it was just there for me to work with. I will update it to 38 and put a note the measurements are from tomshardwareI thought that as well.

BTW, if you check the length in inches of the 3090 FE, is 12,3 inches, equal to 312,42 mm!! ? Maybe @Wahaha360 already knew it???
If I was getting a 3080, it would be the EVGA FTW3, because EVGA's support is amazing and their cards are also amazing, even if they don't look good this generation.
Pro-tip: that card is part of EVGA's step up program. So get yourself an EVGA card to hold you over, register that sucker right away and step up!
It'll be slow but you'll get one eventually.

I've been an EVGA guy for a long time, and I don't foresee that changing anytime soon. Like @Navic said, they have amazing customer support, along with some of the best GPUs money can buy generation after generation. My favorite card I've ever had was my EVGA GTX 1070ti Hybrid card, so I'll probably wait for EVGA to release their 3080 hybrid they teased a while back. Size constraints will obviously play a factor in that decision, but I don't think I'll go air again after having to mod my 2070 with the G12 bracket. Silence truly is golden.
At this stage, the ASUS TUF card. I like the Performance vs Quiet mode switch. It appears that the quiet mode is indeed quiet.
After watching Gamers Nexus teardown of the 3080FE, I'm thinking that removing the silver outer shroud on the 3090FE might give us the clearance we need to squeeze it in the T1 if it won't fit natively.
A side effect being it looks pretty sweet, at least in my opinion for a black T1! Still taken from Gamers Nexus's video, you can see what I'm taking about removing in the lower right hand corner there, what do you guys think?

A potentially serious drawback is that around half of the heat of the front fan will be exhausted back into the case, while heating up the rear fan's heatsink fins.
Not sure how this impede the total cooling performance but there is certainly an impact on the cooling of the card as well as other components inside the case.
