Question Can I fit an RTX 4090 in this case?

more important measurement is no longer the length for most cases but rather the height.
I would rather call it width rather then height but that's nitpicking. Also, the fact that card itself may fit is not a whole story - there needs to be enough space for a 12 pin connector (in case of FE model), and if using octopus adapter that space needs to be considerably bigger then before with 8 pins.

Don't forget the height. Many cases put the motherboard down so far to the psu, or have top load psu or other side psu, where there's very little room between the x16 and shroud/psu deck. The FE is a 4 slot card, the aftermarket versions can exceed 5 slots, and you'll need airspace under there too.

you're forgetting that the more important measurement is no longer the length for most cases but rather the height. You're going to want minimum 185mm cpu cooler height to measure if the card will fit. most AIB models outside of the Gigabyte 4090 master should fit a case with that spec.

And you are forgetting that CPU cooler clearance has CPU and socket thickness in there as well. Whereby CPU + socket are ~8mm thick.

Btw, from where comes this?

RTX 4090 FE is 137mm in width,
specs: https://www.nvidia.com/en-eu/geforce/graphics-cards/40-series/rtx-4090/

H500 ARGB has 167mm CPU cooler clearance. Add in CPU and socket thickness, free space would be 175mm. Using RTX 4090 FE, would leave 38mm for 16-pin PCI-E connector.

Don't forget the height. Many cases put the motherboard down so far to the psu, or have top load psu or other side psu, where there's very little room between the x16 and shroud/psu deck.

Checked that before posting here. PC case has 7 expansion slots. And even when MoBo has PCI-E x4 slot at 1st (upper) slot, where PCI-E x16 slot is 2nd, RTX 4090 still fits just fine.
