Ow, GPU constraints from the main site, DAN Cases :

Dual-Slot up to 300 mm length

Length
Complete card incl. bracket: 306 mm
Without bracket: 295 mm



So the INNO3D 4080 5080 300mm should about fit with no modifications required. However the 5090 founders is 304mm.
Believe generally card dimensions 'length' from vendors is without the bracket.

edit: yeah, i meant 5080

I was eyeing the 5080FE as a viable upgrade but haven't found user verified dimensions online for it. It's shown as 304mm too :(

Don't want to let go of the A4 but the 1080ti needs an upgrade and INNO3D is hard to get States side

Hi,

the new FE cards may fit mechanically, but the fans blowing through the cooler may be problematic. Not much space between backplate and the plate holding the mainboard or the power supply either.

Could get a bit hot in there.

Well, thanks to an open-box discount at MicroCenter went with a PowerColor Reaper 9070 (non-XT), fit perfectly in the case. GPU temperatures actually dropped vs the ASUS Turbo 1080ti I had but the CPU temps went up! Definitely a hot box now lol but performance is smooth with max settings at 1440p. GPU fans also stop completely when on desktop or just browsing, much quieter than before so pretty happy :)

This will probably be the last upgrade for this case unless I do whole system rebuild in the future. Not bad for something bought in a Kickstarter in 2016!

Do you have a bottom exhaust fan?

Hi all, I got the PowerColor reaper 9070XT in the end last March, quite happy with it, much more silent than i expected (after undervolt and fan curve tweaking). Didnt feel the need to modify the fans with Noctua's as i first intended.

I added a 2nd case fan at the bottom, both are set to outtake (2nd fan is black added a fan guard).

I bought a PCIE extension riser to bring the M.2 NVME drive to the front, it got way too hot on the back of the mobo.
Mobo is B450, AM4, I didnt notice any meaningful performance degradation eventhough my GPU is running on PCIE3 x8 due to both M.2 slots occupied.
Now got 2x 4TB installed.
