Size doesn’t always matter in life, but when it does, you can be in big trouble. Measurements must be taken into account if we are talking about a PC, since the new units of Nvidia for the 40 Series they are truly colossal. We’ve even seen Galax offer a staff to hold monsters the size of a RTX 4080.
The graphic leap offered by a beast of this caliber is always exciting and that is what the Reddit user gvarados
The truth is that there are quite a few users who share the sentiment with gvarados, since they have run into the same problem when buying a new GPU, a power supply or incompatibility problems with the motherboard. “This LITERALLY happened to me. The 7000 Series was announced, the price of the 6000 Series plummeted. So I bought one, then realized it wouldn’t fit in the box. Then I realized I had an i7 from fourth generation on a DDR3 board… Now I have a brand new PC… Luckily it was my birthday so my wife approved,” jokes the user Sugastuan
What is the solution at this point? The community has offered alternatives to gvarados to put an end to this problem and everything indicates that the most sensible thing would be to remove a fan to make a hole
Apparently gvarados do you agree with the thought, since “I think this will work. I might be able to fit the fan on the other side of the cpu cooler. There’s really no airflow back there, but it’s better than no airflow at all…”. In either case, chances are you’ll need to buy a new case for your PC at some point.
