Hi,

Does anyone happen to know if a Gtx 1080 FE fits in a Antec Sonata III case? The card's length is 10,5" and according to Antec, the max. supported graphics card is exactly 10,5". However I also have a 120mm fan behind my drive bays and I don't know if Antec takes this into account with the max. dimensions. If I'm not mistaken, in older Antec cases they shipped a 120mm with the case to be mounted there.

If I measure my case it might just fit or might just doesn't fit and I want to know for sure.

(note: the power connector on this card is on top so that shouldn't really be a problem)

If anyone finds this thread (on Google): I took the gamble, bought the 1080.....it doesn't fit :p It does fit fine without the 120mm fan, but with the 120mm fan it doesn't. I kinda solved it by moving my front case fan from outside the drive bay to inside the drive bay which leaves room to put one disk in the drive bay (unfortunatelly not in the air flow's stream) but some of you might wanna save yourselfs the hastle and buy a new case ;)
