you had one job lol.
I mean its fineee, just send the GPU (or the Case) back and get a appropiate sized one.
Either a bigger case or a 2 fan design GPU.
There is a chance this gpu might fit.
Don’t go in vertically, and see if you can bend some metal on the right to squeeze it in.
Clearly wasn’t meticulous.
Now don’t leave it like that 🙂 Take it out, put it back in the box, Get a new Case 🙂
Welcome to the world of PC building, you will not have a good time.
Hey – you are me!

You know that black panel can be removed as well, right?

Did PCPartPicker not tell you the card was too long for the case when you were making your build list?
Time to sell the case and buy a new case i guess
Upper right corner has a thumb screw you can remove, does that now allow for the front part to come off?
calling yourself meticulous and you buy a mid tower and a 40 series smh
Is it too thicc as well? This seems like the fractal north case, you can unscrew the front black side panel thingy that’s still there. Perhaps u can get it in after removing that?
> meticulously planning
that usually involves checking for basic stuff like this, but you can see if you can remove the part of the case for the gpu to fit.

Image you could find the size of the GPU online….
Just run it like that with a riser cable, looks sweet or just run it outside the case lol, have done that too. But on the real you may be able to vertical mount it. Maybe. But id just get a new case
meticuleus my ass
“Meticulous”
Get the dremel
I feel you.
I had to pry off shields from my older motherboard just to fit a 4070.
It’s sagging /s
Meticulously doesn’t mean what you think it means
Ah, it has been a while since I’ve made this error but the good thing is that you never forget. Also, buy a dremel and just make it work. This is the way.
since I wanted a small form factor PC when I last build one, this was literally the only thing I checked when I ordered the parts.
Meticulous planning, but didn’t check for compatibility with GPU sizes?
Every case should have both ‘max CPU cooler height’ and ‘max GPU length’ listed somewhere on either the store page or the manufacturer page.
People this is basic stuff… Don’t just see big GPU, instantly get a hard-on and rush to buy it without checking.
Measure once, cut twice. Works for construction and apparently for many other things too.
