Evolv mATX TG and 1080Ti - will it fit ?

Hi

I am looking at buying a new mATX build and like the look of the Phanteks Enthoo Evolv mATX TG case.

I want to front mount the CPU AIO radiator which as far as I can see , means about 51mm of space taken by fan and rad for eg a h115i.

The shortest 1080Ti I can find that I like the look of is the EVGA 1080Ti SC2 which is 270mm.

Phanteks website says the clearance for a graphics card is 319mm but it isn't clear if that includes a fan (half of the 51cm AIO depth) or not, so I'm not sure if I will be a mm out or not.

Can anyone who has this case let me know ?

I have the non TG version, unless the chassis has changed massively this should still be correct.

The AIO goes in the roof, the mount is offset and a 280mm fits, but you may have issues with big memory modules if the rad is thick. Not really any point in going bigger than the 240, its not like you'll be trying to cool Threadripper.

The 280mm doesn't fit in the front, only a 240 would but you will also get clearance issues with a big GPU. I have a Zotac 980ti Amp extreme (33cm) and that fits, just. The 200mm fan is mounted on the 'outside'.

EDIT:

Just checked and there shouldn't be any RAM clearance issues with a 280 rad unless it is really thick. A normal AIO (30mm?) should be fine.

Should have lots of room I have the itx version of that case and can fit a 1080 hybrid and a Corsair h115, it's a bit snug but it goes.

319mm is the clearance taking into account the front fans, so as long as the radiator is less than 45mm, you are golden.

Might be a bit late but I had the mATX TG and 1080Ti FE in my old build.

The FE card is around 280mm. Rad and fans are around 65mm in total.
