RTX 4070 Ti Strix touching AIO

[Zinn]

I think this is hilarious. Before ordering a 4070 Ti Strix, I made sure to measure the available space in my case (Corsair Carbide 275R) - with a front 360 AIO there was exactly 336mm of clearance for a GPU. The 4070 Ti Strix is listed as 336mm in length. So it should fit!

Well yes, it fits. Precisely. It is just barely touching the AIO. But everything is working fine. It’s ridiculous how big a 280 watt video card is nowadays but the performance (in Linux) is nice.

336 is 336 my guy!

why are these 4xxx cards so big tho? there's no reason for it i can see given that my 1080 ti was smaller and sucked down more power.

Top mount for the AIO will keep air bubbles from cavitating the pump and causing sub optimal performance. GN shows why in this video.

Case is too small for top mount

I bought an Inno3D 4070 TI because it was smol compared to most of the behemoths out there.
Feel like most companies just decided to reuse their 4080 and 4090 coolers, lazy bums.
