Desperate times, desperate measures

New graphics card arrived before my new case.

System config:

  • i7-7700k delidded, liquid metalled
  • PNY RTX 3080
  • 32GB Ripjaws V RAM
  • Gigabyte Z270N-WiFi
  • Corsair SF600 Platinum
  • Geeek M100WS

My system used to be in a much nicer Dr. Zaber Sentry SFF case. However, the PNY 3080 is juuuuust a few mm too thick to fit in the graphics card partition.

I will be selling the Galax GTX 1070 Katana that used to be in this build. It’s a single-slot graphics card, so, perfect for mITX builds like mine used to be. I take it apart and clean it of dust and replace thermal paste & pads every year. Interested parties, DM me.

Edit: fuck it, I’ll Dremel out the side of the Sentry case.
