Hey guys!

I want to try something totally hairbrained that will be amazing if I can pull it off.

To that end, I'm trying to find the dimensions of 3080 aftermarket cooler heatsinks - as in, without the shroud and fans.

I can fit a width of up to 48mm (or just over 2.2 slots of heatsink), and a maximum height of 120mm (from the bottom of the PCIe connector to the top of the heatsink.) - which is up to 14mm over the top of the PCIe retention bracket.

I know the just released this morning, but I'm hoping information will eventually trickle in, particularly from product reps.

At the moment I'm eyeing the ROG Strix, but I can't find any information as to it's height, since the websites are all down.

Thanks!

Just from the pics, I think, Gigabyte 's Aorus Xtreme 3080 is the thickest.
It could be a 4-slot card

Oh my god, I hadn't seen those yet! That's super exciting, thank you - that's *exactly* what I'm looking for!

Now to call gigabyte support and see if they'll tell me the exact dimensions of the heatsink itself. :p
