Aurora R10, GPU upgrade for an AMD 7900XTX ?

Hi,

Do you know if it's possible to upgrade the Aurora R10 with a new AMD 7900XTX?

    If dell releases a new oem RX 7900-xtx that has same length as oem RX 6900-xt, then it could fit R10.

    as long as physical length is good and psu is upgraded, the Ryzen cpu will work w 7900-xtx.

    AW@aw said the maximum length GPU that can fit in an Aurora R11 is 10.5", or 267mm.  This applies to R10 too.

    if non-Dell, the xtx may be too long for R10 case unless you can find a short one.

    Also be aware not all UEFI cards work on these systems. Sometimes you get a black screen and have to perform some additional steps to get non-validated cards to work.

    Only the validated cards for their respective systems are guaranteed to work.

    Not the XTX but I got the XT and it works! I bought the Sapphire one. Not the Pulse one. This one: https://www.sapphiretech.com/en/consumer/21323-01-20g-radeon-rx-7900-xt-20g-gddr6 It is the same as the reference card from AMD.

    It fits exactly in my Aurora R10. But very very tight. 1mm more and it would not fit. But it does and works fine. I did not have to remove the front fan or anything. No problem at all.

    @alejoAMD​ Did you have any problems getting it to accept the new GPU, I see that its not on the support card list for the R11, I was curious if you had any issues.

    @alejoAMD​ at 276.4mm long that graphics card must be resting against the front fan bracket. Good job getting it securely seated and working properly.

    @alejoAMD​ How bad are the temperatures after an hour or so? I use a 7900XTX in a good airflow case, and it tends to get toasty after a while. Not the card itself, but the overall temperature inside the case.

    In an R10, which I also have, I can only imagine how hot it would get after a while...
