TL;DR
What water-blocked 3000 or 6000 series cards will actually fit in an NCASE M1v6.1?

Hey Guys. I've been working toward building a custom loop in the Ncase M1 since Optimum Tech sold me the dream early 2020. At this point but it seems I've backed myself into a corner with the part selections, in particular GPU selection.
Assumptions were made about the sizing of some of the newer gen cards [3080/90 & 6800XT] before I bought the Ncase. That is, thinking the size of the cards didn't matter too much because I'd just slap on a water block and away we go. Only in the last week did I actually realise that I'm actually much more limited in terms of GPU selection than I'd originally thought.
Every watercooled build I've seen thus far has used an EK cooled founders edition 3080/90 but good luck getting a founders edition card at this point. As far as I know the following cards will fit [with the appropriate EK water block]. These are now not based off assumptions but the dimensions listed on EK and whatever is listed on the actual cards.
-Founders Edition 3080/90
-[EVGA] XC3 3080/90
-[ZOTAC] Trinity 3080/90
-6800XT Reference Card [maybe?]
I've got a system up and running using an RX580 as a placeholder, literally all the other custom loop parts on order [yes, I got a bit excited]. So at this point it would seem I'm looking for a needle in a hay stack to try get either an EVGA or ZOTAC specifically. Which makes card hunting soooo much harder right now.
-Has anybody done a non founders edition 3080/90 custom loop in an Ncase yet?
-Do you know of any other water blocks/cards will fit?
Thanks for your time.
