I'm new to this so here goes.

Like everyone else, getting a GPU these days aren’t that easy… unless you pay extra from various sites, like eBay.

My original plan and layout was trying to get the 3080 EKWB edition with pre installed block and overall small GPU size. Plan was to mount it vertically, rad at the bottom and pump+res on the right side of the case.

Like this setup but with a thinner rad

CyberPunk 2077 Limited Edition Custom Build - PCBUILD.BG - YouTube

I got a opportunity to get the 6900 XT AMD reference at a near MSRP of a friend a grabbed the chance. And I really REALLY like the card!


Now, I need some help and advice!

Looking at the dimensions of the reference card and the EK Pump+res combo, I’m staring to believe that everything I previously bought is not going to fit :/ (fittings, tubes etc)

Can a friendly soul look at what I currently have and maybe give advice on how to fit it all? Like different orientation/layoput etc.

Most of all, will the EK AMD Special Edition Water Block save my little project due to the reference cooler being a 2 slow card.

Should I buy this block instead of Reference cooler?

Here are some pictures of what I currently have:
I know it hard to visualize and i hope you can use your imagination :)
  1. current setup(I had this setu way before I even got the 6900 XT due to old GPU being longer than 6900 XT.
