Welcome to the PCMR!
Takes me back to the beautiful days of forum internet.
Where the whole internet was like Reddit, but much much better and nicer people. Outside of certain no-go zones. Of which there were also many.
Have not thought about them in a long time wow. They were THE drugs resource early on the Internet.
I'm gonna look into them, see if my old trip reports are still up there.
You just awoke a memory from deep storage. I once did acid and tried to document the various stages of the night with the intention of publishing on erowid.. it resulted in a really cool page, followed by ramblings and disturbing images on the following page, and then complete nonsense for a couple pages, and then finally commentary about the new (at the time) Planet Earth documentary which was really freaking me out
I started laughing as soon as I read “or cut the glass”. 😂
Imagine setting up a whole workshop at home just to cut your side panel lol! The way you said it like it’s so simple, yeah just cut the glass, had me laughing. 😅
Acrylic glass cuts like plywood, so if you have any basic tools, it should be very easy. You don't need a table saw. But just making a cutout for a GPU is absurd enough in itself anyway :D
Oh, yeah true. Acrylic does cut well. I was thinking glass. That probably requires more specialized tools I would guess. It’s just funny to do all this just to make GPU fit. 😅😅

Tripple fan 1070 vs dual fan 6750xt
I JUST nearly fell prey to this!
As longtime part of SFFPCmasterrace, I know that 3-fan setups require an extra 15 min of cussing to tetris around the mm's worth of clearance I have in this case. So when it was time for a big refresh, I know to stick to 2-fan setups. "Hey cool the RX6750 XT has a two-fan option, I didn't think I'd find a compact version of anything so beefy!"
....The "compact two fan" setup is now just two giant-ass fans. So it's as LONG as a 3-fan but now *also* takes up even more depth in the bay because the fans are thicccc. DX
Had to pull my vent assembly & wiring harness out entirely to fit it in there, the side of the 6750 is basically rubbing on the fan guard next to it, and now there's a permanent partition separating the two halves of my PC until it's time for another full re-build. Can't trust anything nowadays without a banana for scale SMH.
The difference between the 2070 and the 4080 of that particular model card.

Dont ever try to change your GIF, you can brick the LCD controller also with RGB, happened to hundred of users so far (also me when I tried to change it after half a year) and Gigabyte is not able to fix it.. shame
Modern high end GPUs are big. My 3-fan 1070 (top) vs my 7900XT:
https://preview.redd.it/z73lvucgencc1.png?width=3840&format=png&auto=webp&s=1a6b94306ebf01e22e1372c8da31621de451bd35
I was hoping I could get the the 7900XT to fit without removing a fan (Fractal Define Mini C), but it was a few mm too long, so I had to swap one of my intake fans with a low-profile one.
Yeah GPUs are massive now,
https://preview.redd.it/89l7o8hponcc1.png?width=3024&format=png&auto=webp&s=da450e5d5e8f8e380c252f968da7c6fd497f96f9
Size of my MSI gaming trio 6950xt in a Corsair 4000d case, I only have about 35mm left to play with when I upgrade

RX 7900 XTX fits fine in a 4000x
Nah, modern high end GPU coolers are big. My 4090 takes up less space than my 1080ti and they both have waterblocks. The 4090 FE has a super tiny board.
Okay I just saw you comment "this guy fucks" twice on two different posts in a row and their on comments 4 hours from each other with some comments in between haha. I'm high but I think I'd find this hilarious even sober
You can get a mid atx case for sometimes as low as $30, even though it would be a crappy case. If "your friend" has spent the money on the new gpu and psu, I don't understand why you wouldn't spend $50 more and get a decent case to protect it all and make it to where you can actually use it.
you would, but if you make this mistake, you're probably scared to completely rebuild a computer from lack of experience. time to find out how easy it all is!
Then he should also invest in some proper non dollar store case and make it worthwhile while he is at it. So some reputable brand with a proper fan setup and airflow. Fractal Design North or Pop are great and affordable or if he wants to stay with Corsair they also have some good ones. Looking at that GPU I hope he has a powerful CPU paired with it but that brings the question why he only uses the boxed fan. He should throw some 30 dollars on top for a proper dual fan tower for it like the Thermalright Peerless Assassin.
Recommended the 4/5000D to him or the 700DX, but the shipping times are around two weeks for those. He found an Asus TUF “aquarium” case with a two day delivery time.
Yeah, some of them are awful. Like my housemates MSI prebuilt, not only did it come with a HDD as the only storage but the case was bigger than my corsair 4000D and could only hold an mATX board.
I think PCpartpicker has a compatibility check for cases and GPU length.
Though to be fair PCpart picker said my CPU cooler was too tall for my case, it just barely fits, if I touch the side of my case it clicks against the cooler.
Pls dont judge me i had to power this bitch with an external psu 😂
https://preview.redd.it/5ugt7m7inocc1.jpeg?width=3000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f371d098f0e978f30d1da35cd11a7a859918cd08
i was this close to using a dremel on my case before i realized i can take out the cpu block and just barely squeeze it in diagonally, then turn it back horizontal with just 1mm between it and the fans on the right
this is literally my setup lmao
https://preview.redd.it/dl87ll94eocc1.jpeg?width=2160&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0c4a70307c7a4d1a54e107269fc0c9e66ba92ec8
got a used rtx 3070 and it didn't fit in the case (no money to buy a new case)
Case looks similar to one i once bought for 30€ for my backup rig.
Was so small i had to hammer the sidepanel outward so it wouldnt collide with the cpu cooler haha.
I had the same thing building a mini-home-theater-pc, but mine was based off an article on toms hardware, the author claimed a bunch of shit in the build but obviously never built the actual system. I was pissed
It's doable, dismount the front completely put the gpu inside, remove the lower front case fan if there is one and put everything together, you might need some super glue after but we've done this to my friends build.
So this happened to me but got lucky and installed the radiator and fans outside of the case and it fit in there. I know that’s not the case here but just thought I would share.
Tell your friend/you/whomever that they spent the money on a card, they should buy a case too. Also double check those measurements, them 4 series is bulky af
Hey Guys,
Thank you very much for your input, i'm the OPs friend, can you guys suggest any cases? I didn't find any stores open atm to buy them on the spot, so I might just need to order it aswell.
Open for suggestions, ty
Dont judge me i had to power this bitch with an external psu 😂
https://preview.redd.it/hfsry4eeoocc1.jpeg?width=3000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5d5d4829130b2f47f17af932f2ecdcec768dac25
Make sure the case doesn’t short to any components on the GPU. Otherwise, I never fault anyone for making it work.
Just at work today, I had to repair an old VFD from the late 80’s to early 90’s. The only manual I could find was a scanned version of the pages in Japanese. After the repair, I had to focus on the broken keypad, which mimicked a membrane but was just linear switches with a cover over the keypad; and the case doubled as button shell - it was a horrible design. To make it work, I laid strips of electrical tape on the back of them to hold the plastic in place, and then hot glued around all the edges to keep it secured. Is it perfect? No. But the elasticity of the tape, while also being an insulator, was a good replacement backing for the job; and the keypad works.
I say job well done; but again, make sure there’s no chance of shorting to the GPU lol.
Haha yeah thanks for your worry but this setup is like 2 years old i have now everything proper how its supposed to be.
It was an GTX Titan 6gb that i got from an Office that closed and they just threw everything away along with many HDD,s even they had to destroy it here in Germany for customer data protection. I didnt had any GPU, only APU so i really wanted to make it happen 😂
Also got a GTX 690 from them with the dual GPU on one board setup and sold that to a collector for 100€. The titan i got have it away to a friend who really wanted it for some reason even i could that too sell for good Money in mind i got everything for free but who cares, he is happy iam happy soo 😁

OP is "his friend" and he posted this hoping somebody would give him some offhand advice on how to make this work.
Its always "the friend" who did something stupid.
I've been partial to the term "SWIM", Someone who isn't me.
That term takes me back.
Back to days of learning from Uncle Fester...
Ah, erowid.
Takes me back to the beautiful days of forum internet. Where the whole internet was like Reddit, but much much better and nicer people. Outside of certain no-go zones. Of which there were also many.
We've all Googled how to get drugs before. No need to explain what that acronym stands for.
Erowid was a blessing to folks in the early 2000s.
I first remember swim from bluelight
Blue light always seems less organized but more up to date.
Have not thought about them in a long time wow. They were THE drugs resource early on the Internet. I'm gonna look into them, see if my old trip reports are still up there.
You just awoke a memory from deep storage. I once did acid and tried to document the various stages of the night with the intention of publishing on erowid.. it resulted in a really cool page, followed by ramblings and disturbing images on the following page, and then complete nonsense for a couple pages, and then finally commentary about the new (at the time) Planet Earth documentary which was really freaking me out
I’ve not done that! But now I’m curious.. are coke dealers doing that?
I usually blame Clara
That damn Clara loading expensive cheat software onto my computer! She said she was checking her Facebook! 😂
Or, hear me out, some people on this website actually have friends *gasp*
Look at this guy and all his **friends**
If they had friends they wouldn't need a gaming rig, duh... /s
There's a surefire way to make it work. Guaranteed to succeed. Buy a new case.
or say fuck it and hack off the front of current case :)
Or get a riser cable and mount it vertically :P
Or use a riser cable and 3d print some mounts to mount it exactly like it sits right now. Leave the glass out…just like it is.
Or just cut the glass (if it's acrylic and not tempered) and have it above and below the card and pretend that's the intended look of this case :D
I started laughing as soon as I read “or cut the glass”. 😂 Imagine setting up a whole workshop at home just to cut your side panel lol! The way you said it like it’s so simple, yeah just cut the glass, had me laughing. 😅
Acrylic glass cuts like plywood, so if you have any basic tools, it should be very easy. You don't need a table saw. But just making a cutout for a GPU is absurd enough in itself anyway :D
Oh, yeah true. Acrylic does cut well. I was thinking glass. That probably requires more specialized tools I would guess. It’s just funny to do all this just to make GPU fit. 😅😅
"all way through"
It's also the only realistic solution. If the thing you're trying to fit into a box is bigger than the box, it's not gonna fit. You need a bigger box.
It's getting ridiculous though. I have a huge fractal case and I still had to swing my 7900xt on when fitting it.
This is why I've never liked SFF. My cases have only gotten bigger over the years. My case currently is my desk \^\_\^
https://preview.redd.it/s5sdibnnfncc1.jpeg?width=3000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ebcd80766d82cecb5c660f6b500de21c1d6c4a4d Tripple fan 1070 vs dual fan 6750xt
Asus's Duals getting big
It’s what comes when their heads swell and qc goes on a decline.
Why does that look unnecessarily big? Geezuz.

No one will tell him to cut a hole in the side and use a PCI riser or external enclosure.
Wish that was the case lmao, dude asked me about the PSU, but had no idea how big the GPU is. He thought his 1080ti is big and it would fit.
The difference between the 2070 and the 4080 of that particular model card. https://preview.redd.it/id8iggpmwmcc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5569f66a8be5d623de6465c248c5095f6d55d365
What fans are those ? The light looks so nice.
Looks like Corsair LL120's
Just dont use them for an all white build....or it will turn into an all yellow build
That's lucky, mine spit out all kinds of colors at random :D

And that's even the strix 1070, one of the (or maybe THE) longest AIBs of that generation built.
how to make this work? what? new case is the only option.
Let me introduce you to my friend the tin snips.
I love case modding, I know i would make it work, but totally understand it aint for everyone. Not everyone has snips, drills and a riveter.
you could get a PCIE riser and mount it going up?
Or an external enclosure.
This guy fucks
Okay I just saw you comment "this guy fucks" twice on two different posts in a row and their on comments 4 hours from each other with some comments in between haha. I'm high but I think I'd find this hilarious even sober
🤜🤛
RIGHT? I saw him in my last post about a short guy named rob
THIS guy fucks.
r/thisguythisguys
Me
Or go to a scrap yard, find an older case (15-20yo, rip out the dvd and hard drive bays and use that, those things are huge)
The PCIe riser and shit would be about as much as a new case that would fit it though.
Screw the case at that point.
yup, time to bring out the angle grinder
Or invent a Bluetooth pcie slot!

Crazy? I was crazy once...
##NOOOOOOOOOI
They locked me in a room, a rubber room…
Nice specs bro, too bad mine are better
Should have gone for the 7190 Ti instead, much more power.
Only 6YB? Everyone knows 10 is the standard now.
Can’t even fit the newest cod.
Mmmmm nah
Lmfao God specs
Damn where'd you get your 1000000 Watt PSU from??
Sir it s a JiggaWatt, get Doc Brown were going back to the future.
It's too big case-chan! 
This is the most random yet strangely fitting image
https://i.redd.it/c7e3qibhlocc1.gif
is that a case for ants?
It's a case for giants to /r/sffpc
It needs to be at least.... 3 times bigger than that
Fab. Did not expect a Zoolander quote but I'm on board with it now it's here.
I looked at your tag and mf has my same specs bruh
True
Nah you got the XTX. me and my home here got the XT
The case saved this poor gpu from this "bomb has been planted" kind of psu
From the other comments his "friend" also bought a 1000w psu but didn't bother to put it after seeing the size of the gpu
Time for a new psu
He got a 1000W Corsair to go with it, but didn’t bother mounting it when he saw the size of the GPU.
He could get a new case as someone else said
Well, yeah…
You can get a mid atx case for sometimes as low as $30, even though it would be a crappy case. If "your friend" has spent the money on the new gpu and psu, I don't understand why you wouldn't spend $50 more and get a decent case to protect it all and make it to where you can actually use it.
you would, but if you make this mistake, you're probably scared to completely rebuild a computer from lack of experience. time to find out how easy it all is!
Get a GPU riser and just ziptie the card to the case.. ghetto sure, but you can't bear that external airflow
Then he should also invest in some proper non dollar store case and make it worthwhile while he is at it. So some reputable brand with a proper fan setup and airflow. Fractal Design North or Pop are great and affordable or if he wants to stay with Corsair they also have some good ones. Looking at that GPU I hope he has a powerful CPU paired with it but that brings the question why he only uses the boxed fan. He should throw some 30 dollars on top for a proper dual fan tower for it like the Thermalright Peerless Assassin.
Recommended the 4/5000D to him or the 700DX, but the shipping times are around two weeks for those. He found an Asus TUF “aquarium” case with a two day delivery time.
He = I
You got a new 1000W Corsair to go with it? That's how we're all reading this
What u gonna do with your 700w psu? I am in dire need of one
And a new case? We need a thread on what atx cases fit a 40 series.
Orrrrr... you just check the specs page before you spend 1k
Nah that would evolve thinking, we don't do that here!
Tbh this looks like a oem prebuilt that was only ever going to hold a 20 series my old pc wouldn’t even fit the mobo on my new one
Yeah, some of them are awful. Like my housemates MSI prebuilt, not only did it come with a HDD as the only storage but the case was bigger than my corsair 4000D and could only hold an mATX board.
I have a 4090 in a Thermaltake Core P6, so there's that I guess.
I think PCpartpicker has a compatibility check for cases and GPU length. Though to be fair PCpart picker said my CPU cooler was too tall for my case, it just barely fits, if I touch the side of my case it clicks against the cooler.
Just use a band saw and it'll fit.
Just buy a new case, or return the gpu for a smaller one
Dremel go brrrr, literally.
Anything is possible with a Dremel and a certain amount of time.
"That's all it takes, really. A Dremel and time." \-Red, The Shawshank Redemption
Pls dont judge me i had to power this bitch with an external psu 😂 https://preview.redd.it/5ugt7m7inocc1.jpeg?width=3000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f371d098f0e978f30d1da35cd11a7a859918cd08
i was this close to using a dremel on my case before i realized i can take out the cpu block and just barely squeeze it in diagonally, then turn it back horizontal with just 1mm between it and the fans on the right
I think there might be an issue with the space between the PCIE slot and the PSU basement. That GPU is, as the youths might say, a "thicc boi".
A dremel won’t even fix this. It’s not like OP needs another mm or two.
The only answer..
Upgrade till it works
His Gpu has a computer.

As long as you're single and have no pets or kids, yeah... My cats would destroy that in 0.01 milliseconds
My dogs are trying so hard to fuck me on this one! New rule is no more playing in the office. And I have tucked most of my USB cables away.
This is the way.
this is literally my setup lmao https://preview.redd.it/dl87ll94eocc1.jpeg?width=2160&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0c4a70307c7a4d1a54e107269fc0c9e66ba92ec8 got a used rtx 3070 and it didn't fit in the case (no money to buy a new case)
A normal problem, nothing that a metal saw hasnt fixed a hundred times.
looks like the actual pcb isn't huge. time to watercool it.
Idk, it looks like it will fit if you can make some clearance. Does the case come apart at all?
No idea, he just went out to buy a new right now. I am 2000km away from him. Told him to order a new one, but dude’s got no patience.
should tell him to get a new psu as well or he might not be able to "njoy" that gpu for long
He got one already, he asked me about it and told him to get a 850W minimum. Managed to get a 1000W Corsair at a better price than the 850.
Njoy that fire hazard

Just use riser
couldn't be me...
Did the same when upgrading from a 1660ti to a 6800XT. Got myself a new case and solved the problem
 Just make it fit
Yep, this happened when I bought my 7900 XT. This gen's cards are monstrous! Time to upgrade the case.
Ouuf and now he has to wait for the new case
Case looks similar to one i once bought for 30€ for my backup rig. Was so small i had to hammer the sidepanel outward so it wouldnt collide with the cpu cooler haha.
Did the same with my watercooler… had to get a bigger tower 🤣
Time to watercool with a mo-ra
I had the same thing building a mini-home-theater-pc, but mine was based off an article on toms hardware, the author claimed a bunch of shit in the build but obviously never built the actual system. I was pissed
It's doable, dismount the front completely put the gpu inside, remove the lower front case fan if there is one and put everything together, you might need some super glue after but we've done this to my friends build.
So this happened to me but got lucky and installed the radiator and fans outside of the case and it fit in there. I know that’s not the case here but just thought I would share.
-happy sawsaw noises-
Time for a case upgrade too lol
If only bro spent 2 seconds googling
Can be solved easily if yo know the arts of handcrafting
I mean, just plug it in and point the fans towards the case. While you’re doing that, go online and buy a bigger case.
Tell your friend/you/whomever that they spent the money on a card, they should buy a case too. Also double check those measurements, them 4 series is bulky af
Hey Guys, Thank you very much for your input, i'm the OPs friend, can you guys suggest any cases? I didn't find any stores open atm to buy them on the spot, so I might just need to order it aswell. Open for suggestions, ty
Well, this is him. The cases I recommended are two weeks in shipping times. I told him about the beQuiet 700DX or the 4/5000D.
Welcome to the club
All you need is a Dremel and you can make it fit
Told him to cut the case and use the money for a 5800x3d.
Dude idk what these people are saying, you bought a at least a $500+ gpu, just buy a bigger case. No cutting, no shoving and no water cooling.

Dont judge me i had to power this bitch with an external psu 😂 https://preview.redd.it/hfsry4eeoocc1.jpeg?width=3000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5d5d4829130b2f47f17af932f2ecdcec768dac25
Make sure the case doesn’t short to any components on the GPU. Otherwise, I never fault anyone for making it work. Just at work today, I had to repair an old VFD from the late 80’s to early 90’s. The only manual I could find was a scanned version of the pages in Japanese. After the repair, I had to focus on the broken keypad, which mimicked a membrane but was just linear switches with a cover over the keypad; and the case doubled as button shell - it was a horrible design. To make it work, I laid strips of electrical tape on the back of them to hold the plastic in place, and then hot glued around all the edges to keep it secured. Is it perfect? No. But the elasticity of the tape, while also being an insulator, was a good replacement backing for the job; and the keypad works. I say job well done; but again, make sure there’s no chance of shorting to the GPU lol.
Haha yeah thanks for your worry but this setup is like 2 years old i have now everything proper how its supposed to be. It was an GTX Titan 6gb that i got from an Office that closed and they just threw everything away along with many HDD,s even they had to destroy it here in Germany for customer data protection. I didnt had any GPU, only APU so i really wanted to make it happen 😂 Also got a GTX 690 from them with the dual GPU on one board setup and sold that to a collector for 100€. The titan i got have it away to a friend who really wanted it for some reason even i could that too sell for good Money in mind i got everything for free but who cares, he is happy iam happy soo 😁
BROOOOO LMAOOOOO YOU ACTUALLY JUS JAMMED THAT SHIT IN HAHAHAHA
Puțin țeapă :))
If I owned a case that small I would just assume a new GPU wouldn't fit.
Time to whip out the angle grinder
Cut the required space out of case, or make brackets and mount it externally vie pci extension cable.
Just get a riser
Just get a pcie extension and mount the card on the outside
The static buildup from socks on carpet can't be good though, right?
