    Hi all,

    does anyone know the longest GPU that can fit in the graphics amp with the lid closed?

    IE I have found one thats 32.5cm long but I don't know if thats too long?

    Or does anyone have any 1080ti's that they have fitted? What models?

    thank you

    I have the EVGA 1070GTX FTW in it. WHich is pretty much the max recommended lenght there is some space left between the card and the fan, but you need to mod the case if you want to put a large card in it. There are some struts within the case at the top. My EVGA was already too tall and I had to cut those struts away and use super low profile cables for it to fit. All longer cards are also taller. I can only recommend founder edition cards for the AGA. Most aftermarket cards these days are taller as well and often also thicker than 2 slots which is also a no go.
