Has anyone tried jamming the ‘INNO3D RTX 3080 TWIN X2 OC’ in an SG13?
I’m curious about the width 274 x 120 x 60 mm (L x W x H). I’m planning to use the case without the side/top panel since it will be in my tv cabinet.

But its a 3 slot card

Update: So, done some stress testing, ran RDR2 with basically everything on Ultra got 95 FPS average.
Temps maxed on CPU 72C and GPU 70C. Any other high-end game I've tried max settings does not go over 70C on any. , averaged around 65 on both. I can ofc hear the fans from the Ventus 3070 at this point but it is def bearable.

Is your 3700x stock or do you have some sort of an undervolt on it?

If you are limited to air coolers + ATX PSU, I am not sure if switching to another air cooler will improve thermals significantly (what you got is already pretty good from what I have seen). Maybe try a Noctua NH-L9? You could even try replacing your current CPU fan (just the fan) with a high rpm Noctua one. I am inclined to think that getting a good SF PSU will help more than any changes to your cpu cooler.

due to limited selection in my country (indonesia),
i finally decide to go with id-cooling is-47k,
replace the fan with noctua 92mm chroma black, and using artic mx-4 thermal paste.

my temp at full load now is around 78-80c (intel xtu cpu benchmark & gaming with red dead 2 & mafia definitive edition).

im very happy with the results, and i still able to keep my atx right now.

Yeah, hence the reason he is leaving the lid off. HOWEVER you would probably also have to take a dremel to the rear of the case as there is only a cutout for two slots.

Zotac Twin Edge fits

Yeah the Zotac Twin Edge 3060ti and 3070 are both true twin slot cards so look like an excellent option. How is it performing? What PSU are you using with it ?

Most of the others seem to need bending the lower part of the LH Top support rail or cutting the bottom part of the rail off entirely.

Hmmm....nice try,

I think I found out why I have so high gpu temperatures. I tried benchmarking with the top panel removed and yet it has more than 73 degrees. I think the reason is when gpu fans blowing air some of the hot air goes down and this hot air rises and fans blow it again. Some of the hot air which should be exhausted recirculates inside heatsink and the case.
I can feel the hot air going through the heatsink when I put my hand in front of the fans and bottom side of the case gpu side is very hot.
Has anyone tried blocking bottom of the heatsink so that the hot air is forced to up and back?
Would it help thermals or choke the system and make it worse?

The case is not really designed for a HSF so you need to work on airflow if you go that way.

Basically you seem to be describing the equivalent of one of those ducted systems that direct the hot air from the CPU out. Whilst it may work, be aware that the VRMs and other motherboard components will still need some airflow or the MB will overheat.

Fine work.

With regard to the RHS exhaust fan, it is unlikely a 25 mm fan of any diameter will work with an HSF, you may need to look at slimmer fans or mount the fan externally on the outside of the case. TBH even a 15 mm thick fan can cause issues with some motherboards, a 12mm is a safer bet.

As far as the LHS goes you can mount a couple of 60 x 15 mm fans above the graphics card. THis is not entirely necessary with your blower style card but makes a massive difference with more traditional GPUs that dump warm air into the case:

Actually this solution might be a lot better. I will probably replace my atx psu with sfx and after that I will start looking for some 60 mm fans. Only problem is it will be impossible to find a silent quality 60 mm fan her, the ones I could find probably be oem crappy fans which will make a lot of noise. Hope they will be silent under low-mid rpm settings.

I used these:

Gelid's Silent series case fans have been designed for silent enthusiasts that provide excellent airflow without increasing noise levels, all at an affordable price.

They look good but I can't find them here anywhere. Actual no local shop selling any 50x1.5 or 60x1.5 fans. Maybe that website might ship here though I don't have high hopes. Not many eu websites ship Turkey. And if they ship I will probably have to pay big amount of custom tax and vat. Turkey is not a good country to be its citizen

Finally got my hands on my parts and finished my build. I still have to more testing and real life use to do (after I get home - I'll also be taking the computer as carry on on an international flight so wish me luck), but so far temps look great. CPU didn't go past 90C during 12 passes of cinebench, and the gpu didn't go past 75C during 20 mins of shadow of the tomb raider (max details, max RTX).

Full build:
Mobo: Aorus Pro AX B550i
PSU: Corsair SF600 Gold
CPU: Ryzen 7 5800x
CPU Cooler: Corsair H60 Cooler
GPU: Zotac RTX 3070 OC
Storage:
Gigabyte Aorus Gen 4 500gb Nvme SSD
XPG SX8200 pro Gen 3 1tb Nvme SSD
Memory: Crucial Ballistix 16 GB 3600Mhz CL 16

I also replaced the stock fan on the H60 with a noctua fan and added a thin 90cm Noctua fan on the side as an exhaust.

Cable management can still be improved too!

I have given some thought to the issue of the RTX 30xx cards either not fitting under the top rail or in some cases the rail preventing the cards being seated in the first place.

The solution I am intending to try is:
1. drill out the rivets and remove the original square top rail completely.
2. cut a 5 - 10 mm hollow tube to the exact length of the internal size of the chassis
3. cut a threaded bar small enough to fit in the tube to be slightly longer than the tube
4. drill out top rivet holes at each end to match threaded bar
5. install tube and bar in chassis so the threaded bar pokes out front and back
6. put lock nuts on the treads at each end

I just bent the flanges on the rail flat to clear my 3 slot gpu. Is this not an option for the 30xx series cards?

For reference the card was a Red Devil RX 580 nd these are the dimensions of the card.
255mm*157mm*46mm

Managed to squeeze a RTX 3070 Ventus in, alongside a 3950X. Not a millimeter to spare in here Thermals are surprisingly good.

I managed to get the RTX 3070 Ventus in but can't get it out again. What temps are you getting on GPU at full load?

That webiste only ships with no tracking. 90% chance it will be lost in customs here.
Lol, I only found them on amazon (shipping to Turkey), and with customs and shipping, wait for it
It costs 23$/piece. And it takes 2-3 weeks to deliver. The price of of a big mac is 1.8 dollars here to compare.

Have a 3070 ventus too, didn't attempt to take it out though lol, looks like I'll have to do some work with a dremel for that 😂

I undervolted mine to 1860 MHz at 860mV. Rainbow 6 siege, overwatch, Cyberpunk 2077 it goes up till 72C, Control 67C and for lesser demanding games like hollow knight and dark souls it's around 59-62C. Even though I didn't mess with the fan curve, undervolting made the card significantly quieter.

My airflow increase operation failed. I could only find chinese noname fans and they added nothing but noise. Gpu temperatures didn't even change 1 degree. I could feel that they had so low static pressure that airflow decreased significantly when the case is closed and they are behind the grill.
However changing the atx psu with sfx was quite and improvement. It helped both cpu and gpu temps significantly.

When the time comes it might be easier to drill out the 3 front and 3 back rivets and remove the entire bar and then rivet or screw it back later. Assuming of course it is only the rivets holding the top bar in place.
