same here, I got a 3080FE and now just waiting for the EK water block, they said it will come out at the end of Oct. I bought Koolance quick disconnect fitting.
this is a spreadsheet that i found on reddit a few weeks back. In the bottom you can choose which card and you will see for every card that is added if its compatible or not
yes no problem there, only the AIB cards will vary in size and fitment, but the "Founders edition" will just slot in and is ready to fire up
Im not that into radeon graphics myself, but seeing the powerdraw given by AMD, still waiting on independent testing for the real results becasue it looks like the marketing involves around the 300 watt powerdraw, but they added a feature to boi ost your performance, so think with that feature on it will hit the same wattage as the 3080 (talking about the 6800 XT btw). Just clever marketing by AMD to lower the powerdraw and then up it with a button to match it. But this feature could also have the same 300 watts, so we need to wait on that to see. But given the power draw it would be pretty obvious that the cards will be around the same sizes as the 3080s.
Just a thing, i dont think its your motherboard. PCIe placement on motherboards is a universal thing. Becasue if this wouldn't be like that, you would need to buy a case dependent on your motherboard brand. Or a GPU to match that exact PCIe placement. I think its just the card thats just a chonker and is just a tight squeezeHi everyone, I received my ZOTAC GAMING GeForce RTX 3080 Trinity OC (that's a mouthful) the other day and I wanted to report my results in the NCASE M1 Version 6.1, using an Asus ROG Strix X570I Gaming ITX Motherboard. This card is listed as 'compatible' in the GPU list, as confirmed by Daandris. However, I did not have quite as much luck in my build. The fit of this card is so tight that it's compatibility in the NCASE will come down to your motherboard and where the PCIe slot is. I have documented this in an imgur post here: I suggest that we remove the 'compatible' tag from this card. It does not fit using one of the community's most popular SFF motherboards (Asus ROG Strix X570I Gaming ITX) and I expect that compatibility is going to be extremely hit or miss purely based on your motherboard choice. On the bright-side: this is a PERFECT candidate for deshrouding in the NCASE. It's an almost perfect fit with NF-A12x25 fans underneath. You can see this in the imgur post I referenced above. If anyone has any questions about this card, how it fits in the NCASE, or how I deshrouded it, please don't hesitate to ask
Its little hard to see, but you can see in this users post that it is also a thight fit.

By removing the front IO, do you mean switching to the IO that only has the power button? Or removing that module all together? It looks like it’s still on in your photo.
I would go for the TUF, its the best in cooling/noise. as for the rest: They are great cards without a doubt, but IMO the TUF is a better option. and you wont have to spend more on deshrouding, or possibly damaging a card
Removing front I/O means just switching the plates. This makes it easier to install because you wont have any bulky cables around.By removing the front IO, do you mean switching to the IO that only has the power button?

I was not aware that the PCIe slot location was universal, I assumed there was some variance. Even a few mm would be enough to cause this. Can you think of any other explanation for why it fits in your case but not mine?
I spent a long time trying to get the card to fit. In my case, the fit is not just tight: it doesn’t sit flat and places extreme stress on the PCIe slot. There is no way I would be comfortable saying this card ‘fits’ because long-term it will almost certainly get damaged or damage the motherboard.
Just to be clear, I’m not suggesting that you or or your post was misleading. I’m just trying to get to the bottom of this to help the community. Personally I’m very happy with my deshrouded setup anyway
