Has there been any news if RX Vega 64 is any different in dimensions from Vega Frontier Edition? I'm mainly interested in the length.
Vega Frontier Edition is 10.5" long:

That is 266.7mm.
If you'd like to know the reason why I'm asking this question, read on:
I'm planning a build with:
Fractal Design Define Nano S ( http://www.fractal-design.com/home/product/cases/define-series/define-nano-s )
280mm Front Radiator (45mm thick EK-CoolStream CE 280: https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-coolstream-ce-280-dual )
I'd like to have the 2x 140mm fans inside the case. Fractal Design says the maximum length for the graphics card with front fans mounted (without a radiator) is 315mm. If you add a 45mm radiator to that, it leaves 270mm for the graphics card.
The RX Vega 64 would be in a loop with AMD Ryzen 7 X1800.
Reason going with the 45mm thick 280mm EK's rad is that it fits with very little modifications to the case: https://www.reddit.com/r/watercooli...irst_watercooled_build_fractal_design_define/
There are 2 options that I can see here:
So to put it short:
I'll be ordering RX Vega 64 on 14th of August regardless, but it would be helpful to know the length of the card beforehand so I can buy the rest of the parts at the same time and start building the new system.
.. if the card is > 295mm long, then I cannot get Fractal Design Define Nano S case and have to get something else. Also, knowing how hot AMD products run normally, going with a stock cooler on the GPU would probably make it throttle, like the Vega FE. - hence the water cooling choice.
Anybody has any insight on this?

There are 2 options that I can see here:
- The RX Vega 64 is < 270mm long and I can use the front dust filter that comes with Define Nano S case as I can have the air pulled through the front radiator into the case. I can also mount a 120mm radiator at the back for exhaust. This way I don't have to open the top of the case and I can use all the sound dampening materials + dust filters. - the preferred solution.
- The RX Vega 64 is > 270mm long and I cannot mount the front fans inside the case and have to get rid of the front dust filter and place them there. This way I'd have the front as exhaust for easier cleaning. This opens up the option to use the top of the case for another 240mm radiator (intake), but there is no room for another 120mm radiator at the back.
So to put it short:
- 280mm + 120mm radiators + dust filters + sound dampening - preferred.
- 280mm + 240mm radiators + no dust filters + no sound dampening.
