I'm think it's fine. From the gigabyte website: Card size L=252 W=135 H=40 mm Now only thing, I wish some who knows the case could tell me how good the airflow is. It looks like it's got a lot of space for radiators for watercooling, but i don't see many fan slots, and the front panel is plexi

It says "Maximum GPU Length: 420 mm - Maximum GPU Height 158mm" Card is about 140mm if what google says is true ( I haven't taken it out the pc to measure)

I like the looks of it. I still have no idea how It would fit the waterblock/pump/radiator or whatever you call the thing on my 3080, but it looks good. I could send their customer support an email and ask. What separate dust filters would fit on this? Back/front/top. I see mentioned in the description that it has dust filters on the bottom.

Frankly, I know more or less nothing of tech in the past 6 years, especially cases and such. I don't know what to look out for. Or which specifically have the features I'm looking for ( space to mount the heatsink, etc)

Yes, mine looks like that, it's already got a water block. I just need a case with mounting capabilities and good airflow/lots of fans so I get proper cooling for my components.

My system is : R9 5900x + Noctua NH-U12S SE-AM4 a4tech taichi x470 seasonic 650w focus+ gold gigabyte rtx 3080 waterforce Im looking for a new case. Something that can allow for easy installation of the card and still have enough space for fans. Good airflow is a must. Don't care much about how "silent" it is. budget: under 200 preferably Uk based

Yeah, I'll consider that I guess.

Temps aren't bad on the stock cooler, Ive seen lower 50's up to 60 degrees(with thermal grizzly on), but I wanted to clock the cpu a bit higher for a little more performance in cpu heavy games until I feel like it is worth to upgrade it.

So, I've bought myself a noctua NH-D15 ( big mistake for an owner of a ryzen CPU, as the configuration of the motherboards is awful enough that the ram is in the way of the cooler ) The CPU also covers my first PCIE Slot, so I thought that I could use the third slot which is a pcie 3.0 x8( number 2 is a pcie x1 or something ), but when I boot my PC, it gets stuck in a restart loop with the fans on my GPU barely spinning at all( cand stop them with my finger) and my monitor showing " No display ". I mounted the stock cpu back on and moved my card to the first slot and everything runs okay again. Is this a known issue with the taichi motherboards? Or a one off?

I've been digging around, it seems like the 2600 is a bit of a stretch for a 2080ti. I will be keeping an eye out for used 8700/k while seeing what's going on with the price on the i7 9700k/9900k. I missed a pretty good deal on the 9900k 2 weeks ago, maybe I'll get another one. Still wish I had some concrete info about how coolin actually behaves on those cpus and if I really need better for them, but thank you guys for the help. @dizmo My headphones are not too high-end, just a pair of dt770 pro, but I think that would be about as much as a pair of integrated audio cards could drive.

@fasauceome Would a ryzen 5 2600/x be capable of running a 2080TI without bottlenecking it?

I game at 1440p, PUBG, Ring of Elysium, Rainbow 6, I would like higher details, but I prefer reaching the 120-140-165 hz above that. Rocksmith 2014 is the reason I want a good audio card, that improves sound quality I get in and reduces latency. I play various other games, such as Path of Exile, Killer Instinct, Dragon Ball FighterZ, but those are not as demanding. I don't think I could find a decently priced 8700 anywhere, best I've seen go for around 310-320 vs 420 for a new 9700k with warranty. Is the 2700x really so bad without OC? Benchmarks differ a lot, I am a bit curious. If I go for a 9700k or 9900k, do I need an aftermarket cooler as well? Or would the stock(if they even come with one) suffice?

@dizmo Thank you for the welcome No content creation, maybe if ever I will try doing a stream for my friends to have fun, but I am not interested in that stuff. I did not see an i7 9700 without the K. What I would love on my motherboard though is to have a really good audio card. I've heard bad things about the i9 9900k in terms of temperatures and throttling, also there seems to be quite a bit more expensive due to the need of a proper cooling solution as well. I wouldn't want to bother with water cooling.

So, past years, I kept buying i5's, thinking they are enough, but as time proved me wrong, I am thinking that maybe I shouldn't be cheaping out on the CPU anymore, so I am a little torn in-between the ryzen 7 2700x with a regular taichi or an i9 9900k/i7 9700k with a regular taichi. The rest of the build would be: Asus PG278QR ( 165 hz@1440p ) - already bought samsung 970evo - already bought Seasonic focus 650w - not bought yet msi rtx 2080 TRIO - not bought yet cooler master haf XB, for space reasons - not bought yet 2x8gb corsair vengeance lpx@3200mhz cl16 xmp I don't ever OC my pc. It's used for gaming only. 1600-1800 gbp, UK based.

I have been playing around with options and I think I might have found something very interesting. I have installed a newer version of an app called "Control Center"( controls things like gpu fan speed and laptop power profiles), because while browsing the new Clevo lineup with i9 9900k(was particularly interested in how this ****box could ever handle that when my poor i5 is hitting 70-80C sometimes) and found some people talking about a certain version throttling the gpu, . After updating it my solo fps in PUBG have improved a lot, the gpu usage went up and there isn't that much fluctuation in fps compared to before. I will have to test that with discord app on though in squad play, where the issue was very easy to notice. I will look towards upgrading to an i7 6700 or 7700, non K, mainly cuz of the lower tdp. Thanks for the tip. Marking this green for other people to see if they run into the same issue.
