Question How to fit an RTX 3080 into the Be Quiet PureBase 500DX?

[CyberRealm]

Greetings, first time posting a question on these forums.

I would kindly request for some opinions and suggestions as to how I can fit my Asus Rog Strix RTX 3080 into my Be Quiet Pure Base 500DX case.

As you can see from the image attached, because of the radiator and the fans, there isn't enough clearance for the card to fit. I know this can be solved by switching for a larger case, but I'd like to leave that as a last resort.

Thank you all in advance

I think your only option would be to install the AIO on the top of the case to free up room, because that case should fit a 14" video card.

Thank you for the suggestion.

I think the RAM is not providing enough clearance for the AIO to be positioned at the top, but I'll try it and see if it'll fit.

Would be a tight fit from the looks of it. Worth a try though.
