Aurora R11, RTX 3070, compatible?
Can I replace the graphics card on Aurora R11 ? I am hoping to get the liquid cooled 2080 Super.
1 Will I be able to upgrade to RTX 3070 or RTX 3080 ?
2 Will I be able to use the cooling cooling system I got with 2080 Super card for my Aurora R11

Been scouring the partners' websites for their 30xx card releases. No blower in sight. Minimum for 3080 is 3-fan design.7723

It's coming, just not pictured yet because the demand is on the big cards.

@GTS81 From asus for example:
"We have even more GeForce RTX 30-series graphics cards in the works, including a handy Turbo design that exhausts hot air directly from cases. It’s perfect for small-form-factor builds or enclosures that can use a helping hand in keeping system temperatures in check. Stay tuned."

But will the Asetek RadCard work with the new card ? Is it possible to use it on a different card other than the 2080 Super ?

Cooling solutions for graphics cards are tailored to the PCB they are based upon. So nope.

Hi @Anonymous
Assuming we're talking about the RTX 3070 (Founders Edition) ; will that still fit inside the Aurora R11 or R10 chassis?
From the current public pictures of the RTX 3070 Founders Edition, it seems it should fit and power plug also looks compatible, assuming I didn't make a mistake?

Thank you @Anonymous ; the pictures you posted helped a lot.
A question: Suppose one could make a "plastic scoop-like shroud" to re-direct the hot exhaust air towards the side cover vent holes, will that alleviate the concern?
I can visualize that the 3070 would sit directly over the side cover vent holes.

Technically yes, but it'll have to be one heck of a scoop (not sure how this changed for Legend design):
Beam of warm air hits exactly here.

Limitations exist only if you let them. You'll figure something out.

On #1, keep in mind Nvidia's partners, MSI, ASUS, PNY, ZOTAC, etc will all be releasing their own versions of the 3000 series gpu's in short order and you shouldn't have a problem finding a 3070 blower model that fits just fine in the R11, even if Nvidias own founder's edition is too big.
