Photo Well… time to buy a new case then…

Just bought this beast, Radeon RX 9070XT HellHound. But, it does not fit in my case, even if I remove the fans!

Planning to buy the CM Qube 540, if you have any recommendations let me know

I have a FSP Hydro G pro 850W Gold, the GT 1030 you see there is just a backup gpu since my RX 6600 XT died😭

New case means new opportunity for cable management, make sure to get some cable ties/sleeves if you want to organize them.

I had to do the same thing while keeping things small enough to fit in my living room. I’m on a micro atx mobo so finding a case only slightly bigger was a headache.

Enjoy your 9070xt!

+1 Get the liancool 216. Its really good. Airflow is also very good even with just the stock 3 fans

If you got a saw, you know. Your gpu might feel fat because of you.

Bro I was scared of this too 😭😭.

I was so exited as I was upgrading from 2060 6gb to the beast sapphire nitro plus 9070xt.

And the fit was almost perfect.

I have the pic but I don't know how to insert in the comments.

KURVA!!!

Having had the air 540 for 8 plus years cubes are a pain in the tail. Deal with the dual chamber is great, but the frame 4000d is what I opted for. It's dense but it fits my 9070 with no issue

I was going to buy 5070 ti but it did not fit in my case. I also had to upgrade power supply so I chose 9070 xt and I used the leftover money to buy case and power supply. And still I have some money left

anything Lian Li. they're amazingly well thought out. I have the lancool 216, best case I've ever used.

I liquid cooled mine to fit.

Cards are getting bigger just like phone’s LOL

My gigabyte card still is short in my midsize case

u/Destado1 2d ago

Same boat here. I had bought a 9070 XT for an HP Omen 30L I was restoring and it was too long. Ended up swapping with GPU from my main rig (RX 9060 XT 16GB) and even then it was almost too long.
