Nevermind lads, I suppose you get what you paid for when you only shelled out 2 grand...

That some good planning it so if the GPU connector catches fire it will melt the water pipes above to put the fire outMy Cablemods cable turned up todayIts so much nicer having a single cable to deal with and get a nice clean run to the psu in the back where it terminates to 3 x 8 pin ( 600w if needed ) .

What case is this btw, looks like a Lian Li PC011D, is it the XL because theres no way I could fit a rad that thick in mine and still have clearance with the distro plate lol

Don't have a 4090, but have the same case, best one I’ve ever had and/or worked in, hands down.
Just ordered one yesterday (with solid side no window).

if you read the original reddit thread, the connector melted and the card stopped working - they don't mention actual flames which seems to have been some embellishment by certain outlets, so no I don't believe there is an actual fire risk
I'd say its a defect. As much as people who know better than me such as Buildzoid are putting it down to design, we didn't see this at all with the 3090 or ti.
O11? Probably the most popular case in years, going by reddit.
I use it too, honestly amazing to work with
probably the ugliest and worst designed case in years

GPU coolers have been getting bigger year on year, so people who always want the newest biggest GPU are going to have to potentially accept that they need a new case to build around a particular GPU it seems.

That zotac is fantastic looks like they kind of went, oh yeah we better put a bit of plastic on it.
For Air cooled probably - for watercooling there is no case that looks better, is this small and fits 3x 360 rad(evo or xl that is, standard one is pretty outdated at this point). There is a reason why this is the most popular pc case in history.
There is evo xl coming up next year that will fix all the issues as it will be around 4cm wider.

Its a lian li 011D XL , you need this case for this specific setup. I managed to squeeze a 3rd rad in the back aswell even though its got a distro plate
Do you really think that the cable will melt in 100% of the instances people do this? There is a risk of it happening, but it's not necessarily a certainty.

Yeah not the best looking card , tbh apart from the founders I think they are look a bit crap tbh considering the price paid . Mine will look good in a waterblock soon so what it looks like now doesn't bother me tbh but if keeping it on air would probably be after a founders even more as its a stunning design

its not the rate of incidence but the lack of tolerance in spec.. you cant have a consumer grade cable with disclaimers like "35 mm for bend" attached to it.. it just doesnt work, the standard's got to be reworked and it will be
