I knew the 4080 Super wouldn’t fit my old Fractal Meshify C, but Amazon sent me the wrong package so I had to improvise. Behold, the beast is now contained in a Fractal Torrent!
I’m doing AI work on specialized language models, and thankfully had a riser cable laying around to let me work for a few days.

We haven’t had a significant development in microchip cooling since water cooling. Only MOAR FINS!

That card is unnecessarily overengineered.

Then buy a liquid cooled one next time, problem solved
Try cramming a 4090 into a 10 year old cooler master case. Had to cut the metal framing for the old school hard drive caddy’s out and slide the card in behind that pillar.

My 4080 is almost as tall as my ps5, damn near half the size of a ps5

That’s much more space than half the posts i see, you could always buy a weaker card instead i suppose?

That’s a nice problem to have lol

Where is your PSU?

I actually like the big design of high end cards, makes it look like it has more power

For the price of gpus, you’d think they’d have copper finned heatsinks and gold cold plates.
I feel that, I just got and installed my Gigabyte 4080S Gaming OC and it barely fits in my O11 with the power cable since it’s touching the glass.

They use a lot of power and so far we havent found a more efficient way in terms of cost and reliability to cool them than big ass air coolers

I mean that big ass cooler leads to really good temps

I really wish that they would start making lines of cards that are meant to run 1080p flawlessly while being smaller in size, lower in power costs, and lower in heat output.
I feel like it is an untapped market.

Cases are too damn small!

It fits, there is still plenty of room left. it is a shame it doesn’t come with nvlink

I mean, we want more flashy graphics? [some of us] and, well they found the fix, MOOOORE POWER = MOOOORE GRAPHICS (said this outloud)!

As a person with eyes I can confirm that that GPU is pretty damn big
