The Palit 3080 fits perfectly fine in the Corsair Air 240 :)

Legend, glad to know something 30 related fits, I did have my heart set on a NZXT H1, but the PSU that comes with it is insuffient according to Nvidia.

You running the aio as an exhaust?
And the top as an intake?

How well is that working for you?

Yes, AIO is exhaust and intake through the top. It works nicely and keeps the inside cool. I once ran an AIO as an intake and it just heated everything up inside the case even though the air would vent pretty quickly so now I always exhaust though the rad. The AIO has not shown the water temp get over 39c yet, even in the summer and it's just on the medium setting using iCUE.

Also the fans at the top being intake mean the top MB heatsinks are kept cool

Hmm, I might pinch your idea and see how it works out for me, cheers fella.

Nice cpu and mobo (we're two of us, at least :D) and rest of the stuff.
I'm sadly waiting for my X-Trio ordered at 2:32, I know it's gonna take a little while longer. :(

Its awesome. I had a 1080ti and a 1950x before. this thing absolutely RIPS! I still have a preorder for a FTW3 ultra which obviously is going to be a while before it would ship. Probably going to cancel TBH and maybe order a Samsung G9, or and LG 3840x1600 but its a really hard choice!

It wont be long before you get your card, I'm just glad I've got it ready for cyberpunk

Go for the 38" LG nano ips definitely, the G9 is damn too wide so useless (IMO)
Thanks for the feedback!
And yeah, the 10900K rocks on the MSI's ACE, 5.2 avx daily and I've never seen a single fake boot. :cool::p
