Fractal Design Define R6, 1 Vertical GPU with Founder's Ed. Cooler, 1 Horizontal GPU with Raijintek Morpheus II. Will it fit?

Hi all,

I am hoping to fit a 1080ti w/ Raijintek Morpheus II and a 1060 6GB FE into a Fractal Design Define R6.

I would like to stick to a mid tower for this build if at all possible. My plan is to mount the 1080ti with the raijintek morpheus directly to the motherboard, along a the wifi card and tb3 card, then mount the 1060 FE with stock cooler on the vertical gpu mount using the pcie extension on a lower pcie slot on the motherboard. I want to know if this will all fit in a Fractal Design Define R6 (No TG). I want to stay away from water cooling because I will be moving this computer around quite often, and am not really interested with the maintenance involved with a custom loop. I could potentially consider a hybrid cooler for the 1080ti, but I would like to keep this build as quiet as possible. I plan on running the 1060 blower fan as low as possible, hoping I won't have to get a different cooler for it (I already own the card, don't want to have to buy another one just for the cooler).

Sorry if this isn't the right place for this, I tried posting on /r/buildapc, but to no avail.

prolly not.. the heat sink on the morpheus is too wide and will interfere with the vertical card.

Get a hybrid then, they are several DB quieter than air-cooled GPUs

Want to custom loop?  Ask me more if you are curious

Would an arctic accelero extreme IV fit? It doesn't seem to be as wide.

Probably not, as the coolers height (not width) seems to be slightly taller than reference height cards (rouhgly 5") and you'd need to it to be perfectly flush with the reference PCB height to fit it into the case since the Vertical GPU mount (which btw I dont recommend because GPU's suffocate against side panels) makes the 1060's back plate sit basically flush with the PCI-E brackets, so anything taller than a founders edition PCB wont work with what you're trying to do.

Will be releasing within the next couple of months, along with the R6's front I/O upgrade
