A few months back I purchased a Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1080 Windforce OC 8G. It's a large card with three fans and dimensions of 28 x 11.8 x 4.1 cm (redacted). As I'm experimenting with AIO water cooling, I was curious if the NZXT Kraken G12 would fit properly. I haven't figured it out yet. Any guidance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Please keep the formatting consistent.

I asked NZXT support about my recent purchase and they confirmed it would work perfectly. Through research, I discovered someone with a comparable GeForce 1080 model featuring three fans who successfully installed a Kraken G12.

Although the Kraken G12 could fit your GPU, it's recommended to also consider a case that accommodates mounting, especially if you plan to use liquid cooling for the CPU. The NZXT H500 should be suitable for most setups.

Read this initially, then share the link to the card you've won. It appears to be a reverse engineered card. The mounting method should remain consistent, though I have concerns about the power delivery area. Moved to the watercooling section.
