2080 FTW3 is just a massive card. Did not fit my mid tower.

So I decided to upgrade from 1080ti and bought EVGA RTX 2080 FTW3 Ultra Gaming. When I opened the packaging I was quite shocked when I saw the size of it.. So I tried to fit that in my PC, it went in with a struggle on both sides, however I could not fit power cables into it as they had no place to move (missed around 2-3cm)

This is me holding the card https://imgur.com/a/nFYu8ii And this is how it looked in the case lol

I assume I need Full tower case as this NXZT H440 is too small for it, however I have no intention in buying a new case only to fit a card as case is basically like new.

Now question is, what will fit my case?

Ah that's tough. Either return the card for another or slap a AIO cooler on it which will negate the need for the huge heatsink. I take it that it's the width that's the issue? As in you can't put your PSU cables in do to his wide the card is in relation to the width of your case? Any way of side mounting it? Although that's anothe rcost for side mounting setup.

EVGA power adapter any good? It'll give you the option to put the power cables in at the rear of the card and not the side?

Yes width was the issue, I could not put the power cables in, I've already removed both disk enclosures to fit this in, but those power cables just wont fit in.. I'm sending this back unfortunately, will try a dual slot card and with two fans not three. Who could have thought that these cards are so massive..
 
I will order these for the future. I am now looking into XC version by EVGA, that should fit my case according to measurements. Honestly, I only needed like 1-2cm to fit that lol.. Sadly just posted it back.
