Aftermarket GPU cooler inside of Q300L

NotAVAP · September 13, 2019

Hey guys,

I've recently bought a new GPU (Gigabyte RX580 Gaming 4G) and I'm not really satisfied with the noise levels (40+ dB)

I've decided to buy an aftermarket cooling solution (Arctic Accelero Xtreme IV). But there might be a slight problem, I don't know if the backplate cooler can fit in my case (Cooler Master Q300L) and my motherboard (MSI B450 Mortar) without interfering with anything else.

Could you guys help me figure this out?

A Backplate cooler? Interesting. Seems pretty pointless to me considering many cards do not come with backplate coolers, and most covers are just that. Aesthetic covers.

I do not believe the cooler will fit at all due to the fact that it needs 5 PCI-E slots, but the Q300L only has 4, let alone it's ridiculous thickness.
