Front fan isnt the only issue.

The card is too tall

It might go in but I doubt the cover will close.

Too tall

Nope its not going to fit no matter what you do. You mid as well just sell the card to me

By next week, I'm going to be sitting on a pile of RTX 30xx cards because of my stupidity.

EVGA RTX 3090 FTW3 Ultra - friend bought it from me MSRP, opened it, posed for a photo, and now he's turn is up on the queue and he's returning it to me.

EVGA RTX 3090 FTW3 Ultra - ordered one from Newegg drop yesterday afternoon. Arriving end of week? Wanted to use this as a bargaining chip for...

NVIDIA RTX 3090 Founders Edition - which the friend from the first card gave me news Best Buy is having a drop this morning so I rushed in there and bought one.

NVIDIA RTX 3080 Founders Edition - but then I remembered I pre-ordered the EK FE Special Edition waterblock so I bought one too.

@GTS81 

I am looking, would rather 80 or 90 if your willing...........

There’s Bykski as well. I ordered about 8 hours after the preorder opened up and last night the EK rep told me mine should ship early to mid December.

what is the max height then?

Looks underwhelming compared to EK's block.

RTX3070 will fit in the Aurora R7. I installed a Asus TUF RTX3070  OC tonight (30cm longby 12.6cm wide) . Moved the case front fan to the HDD position to ensure cool air to the RAM and chipset (above the original casefan position, need to drill 4 holes for the screws). Relocated the HDD to the case floor below the MB. 

To get the RTX3070 in I did fold the metal frame where the casefan was installed a little bit down. 

Performed stresstest with 3dMark test and gaming already for 2 hrs by now. All works great and much cooler as the earlier installed GTX1080

Which PSU is that? 460 or 850?

Wow, that's awesome! I eventually got the EVGA XC3 Ultra which is about 285mm wide and 4.4 inches tall. To make it fit, I am going to remove the front fan and replace it with the following: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0813X9G8T/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Do you think that alone should make it fit? I'm really excited and hopeful after seeing yours!

@dmarsh12 

Nope not gonna fit guess your going to sell me the card it will look great in The White Knight

@Anonymous 

Yeah it would like nice and a vertical mount for sure..................

@Anonymous :

The White Knight needs a nVidia RTX 3090 Founders Edition with the  Alphacool Eisblock Aurora Acryl GPX-N RTX 3090 Founders Edition with Backplate.

Looks like part of the liquid is taking the escalator, the way that lower o-ring is shaped.

850
