Aurora R11, installing PCIe 4X card with 2 NVMe slots

hi @KostasNK 

Beautiful card! That would also add some awesome colour harmony for some Noctua fans 

As to the GPU holder, in my R8 it was shaped to block 2 standard height cards over PCIEx16 (x8 electrical) slots.

I can't find it at the moment to give you a pic, but I would expect that it is the same GPU holder in the R11. In which case it should fit, if it doesn't, you can always buy a 3rd party GPU support.

BTW I get no temperatures from my EVO 970 Plus in OpenHardwareMonitor, but I do in HWinfo, although I prefer the former for watching graphs on my second monitor.

I don't think it will physically fit (at least without case mods like cutting a portion of the metal chassis).  I'm pretty sure you won't be able to close the case or the swing arm PSU bracket with a 6.4" deep add in card. The max is around 5.2 ish. It's going to hit the side panel or the swing arm. You can double check yourself.  The GPU bracket also would need to come out if you use it with the case open.

As an aside you can save over $100 if you bought two m2 single nvme pcie adapters without bifurcation support on the add in card instead of the single QNAP NAS add in card. You'd also get potentially better speed because you open up 8 lanes instead of 4 for two drives, doubling your potential bandwidth.

@r72019 with a 6.4" deep add in card

Are you sure?

I see this (19 x 12 x 5 cm) :

Are you looking at "(QM2-2P-344)"?

The default selection is the SATA cards. There are a number of options to choose from. What I have is a copy and paste of what shows up on the amazon US listing (we go by inches instead of metric like everyone else) but yeah that conversion doesn't add up if its the same product.

Weird!  Maybe the OP should check with the manufacturer

Yeah I thought so : QNAP QM2-2P-344 2-Slot PCIe Gen 3 Network Expansion Card for M.2 PCIe Ssds

Fishy 

This makes sense according to the picture :

@r72019 You'd also get potentially better speed because you open up 8 lanes instead of 4 for two drives, doubling your potential bandwidth.

This is the most important message for @KostasNK you will be limited to 4GB/s for both SSDs, together capable of transferring >7GB/s. Depends on usage though

Yeah look at the picture, it shows the same height as the bracket, I saw that, checked dimensions on my local Amazon checked US Amazon, all seems ok except the dimensions 6,2" != 12cm, and even that standard height is around 11.1cm at bracket height   

Methinks they measured the bracket length or the picture is fake

That does seem really big for this type of product, maybe "product dimensions" is the dimensions of the box.

I cannot find anywhere the size of the card,

===================

I think it's easy to closely estimate the size (card and even bracket) because it holds TWO 2280 SSD side-by-side (use them like rulers).
