So I love the look of the lian li tu 150 but the only problem I have really is that my gpu might be too thick. the gpu is the evga 2080ti xc2 ultra its a triple slot card. Now i know it can fit it inside but will i be choking the gpu? should i see if someone will trade for a 2 slot variant?

Based on the photos I could find online of it the bottom of the case is perforated. So long as you don't put the chassis on carpet a triple slot card should be fine if you already know it will fit.

That looks like it doesn't have much airflow in general. No mesh on front or top?


What about just getting a micro ATX case?

This thing exists, not sure about it's airflow either, the front glass looks easily removable

This one also has side vents so it has some mesh at least for intake.

Answer is it will work, as there are 3 PCI-E slots in the back. Just keep the case on a hard and flat surface.

 

The airflow of the TU150 is not fantastic, but it is plenty with some good fans in it.

Brands I wholeheartedly reccomend (though do have flawed products): Apple, Razer, Corsair, Asus, Gigabyte, bequiet!, Noctua, Fractal, GSkill (RAM only)
