Aurora R10, RTX 3060 Ti?
Hi guys, I have GeForce 1650 in my PC, and am on the lookout to upgrade my GPU at some point.
Does anyone have a RTX 3060ti installed in their R10? Does anyone know if it will fit in the chassis?
I have a Ryzen5 3600 CPU so the GPU is probably overkill, but I’m just shopping around at the moment with the hope of getting my hands on a new card by Summer time

I have R11 with 1650S, am also on the lookout for 3060Ti (or the upcoming 3060 Super[?]). I calculated the measurements, and Asus Dual-Fan 3060Ti (being both shorter than 3-fan cards, and narrower than most 2-fan cards) should fit.
Our community member Mb-07 has an Asus Dual-Fan 3070 (p/n: DUAL-RTX3070-8G) installed in his Aurora R9. This card has almost identical dimensions as Asus Dual-Fan 3060Ti:

You are welcome. I did some testing and looked at some data and the thermal issues with these air-cooled RTX's are not very optimistic. The new games are too demanding. While the RTX 3060Ti, 3070, 3070Ti and the likes do have the required GPU computing power, they are running too hot and are frequently hitting the thermal limit.
If people like us are not in a hurry, it might make sense to wait for the liquid cooled RTX graphics cards. Rumors that the consumer-market version of Asetek Rad Card (twin-blower liquid cooled RTX 30-series) will be branded and sold by MSI.
(Soon, other Nvidia board partners might also have compact liquid-cooled GPUs that fit our Aurora R10/R11.)
