UR7XRAY

My card arrived and it is a monster. At least 7mm taller than the 2080 it is replacing. Before I order the Cablemod thing I figured I would just stick it in the vertical mount in the case to see just how bad it is. My observations/experiences: 1) It conflicts with the "Big" Noctua cooling tower for the 3Gen Threadripper in its "centered" position. at a 6mm offset it just barely fits 2) In the stock vertical mount the card clears the case cover, but it is close.. <20mm from the fan to the glass.. Too close? 3) I ran some stress tests and the OC Strix card clocked in at 110% of a "normal 3090" (whatever that is) and never went over 75C (slowly climbed to 74C and then plateaued there) on a 30 minute stress test. 4) The air cooled Threadripper also got warm during the test getting up to 72C-73C range during the stress test... (Normally it idles 30C-45C and under load with the 2080 it never went over 69C. The threadripper is not overclocked. So I think I'm good... I don't game on this machine... It is mostly used for 3D work and video rendering... Even with a monster Solidworks project the fans on the GPU turn on...at slow speeds.. then cycle off. I'm going to run it like this and see how it goes.

Thanks, I guess that is cheaper than a new case... The card would have lots of room on both the front and back and would have lots of clearance for the Massive threadripper air cooler tower.

Ya I found one for sale... Just so long as I bought a power supply and and a motherboard and a CPU I don't need.. (but will give to my son)

Hi all... So I won the Graphics card lottery yesterday and my 3090 is on route (Asus 3090 Strix). I currently run an air cooled AMD 3970X Threadripper with a 2080 mounted vertically. Looking at the width of the 3090 it looks like it will be close to, if not in contact with the front panel of my case (Thermaltake View 37) Any recommendations on a Case that will support this 2.9 slot card vertically?

Themaltake sent me a new Hub... None of them seem to work...

No it is a 3 pin connector to the MB.. All of the ports are plugged in too.

Did you get this fixed... I have the same case and the same problem!

Has anyone managed to get the hub built into the case to work? When I switch to AURA input only one fan lights up. Anyone know how to fix it?

I have this same problem on a New View37 Thermaltake Case... do they all have this problem.
