View attachment 21296 It's here!!!
I won't have my case until tomorrow, but this thing is GIGANTIC!!
Seriously doubt it's gonna fit :/
Still have my unopened Founders Edition Ti. I am really hoping this Strix will fit because I want a quieter solution.
MSI is having issues with their firmware locking the fans at 2000rpm. I remember seeing someone on this thread stating it was like a heater. That's probably the reason
UPDATE- Ugh!
After doing the math... it looks like the card is 7.5mm to wide. That stinks!!!!!
I'm sure he just assumed it was the same as the last few strix cards... Only realised it was bigger when he took it out of the box...Not to rub it in but why do the math after you get the card?
HAHAHA!Not to rub it in but why do the math after you get the card?
HAHAHA!
I walked into the store and grabbed it immediately. It didn't dawn on me that it could possibly be to wide. I have used reference cards the last few years and am completely blown away with the size these things have gotten to be. Just INSANE!
So, as punishment and a treat to the community, I just ordered a Titan Xp.
Stay tuned....
I will benchmark and temp it Vs. the 1080ti reference. Will keep one of these cards.... I thinkAwesome. Very interested to see how the Xp stacks up in this case.

i managed to put NF-A4x10 on top of the board as exhaust, havent really tested yet if it helps with the temperature but i can noticeably feel the hot air blowing out, which i think is better than nothing. =)
Oh dear. I've found a potentially fatal flaw with this case.

Had to happen really... warm little bundle of joy attracts warm little bundle of purr.

You could probably scare him off by putting some load on the system, that air gets HOT.Oh dear. I've found a potentially fatal flaw with this case.

Cool setup, do you have your cpu undervolted or underclocked? I'm getting an average of 68C while gaming for 4+ hours.
Not trying to tell you how to spend your money, but you could buy a complete seperate system for the difference in money you paid for that titan xp.HAHAHA!

The stock TI makes my A4 case a lavabox and its supposed to average 12 degrees cooler than this Xp, good luck.Absolutely correct!
I know it's expensive and probably too hot to work. We shall see...
This coming from a guy that paid through the nose on eBay (me) for this tiny metal box with no PSU
Could have bought several silverstone SG13s for that too

What color LED's light up? Does just rebooting by holding down the power to turn it off then on again do anything? I was having similar issues although simply rebooting did the trick.
For me I think I narrowed it down to having something to do with disconnecting the power to the board. First boot after reconnecting the PSU/switching the PSU on, I always get a red CPU LED. Didn't matter what I did--run stock, turn off XMP, undervolt, use different RAM...always happened. I need to boot the board two, sometimes three times. After that it works normally. This was happening quite often when I was first putting stuff together and tinkering, haven't retested it to see if it still is happening. Don't know if that is going to help you or not.
I had trouble with it not posting either. Like illram, a reboot sometimes did it. Although, I recently updated to the latest BIOS, tried to set the XMP profile and could not get it to post. I downgraded back to the original BIOS and all is good for now at least.Ah! I managed to fix it. I think it was a faulty dvi cable. i switch to an hdmi and it worked. kind of annoyed with myself i didn't try that before dismantling everything a few times before i tried that...
tried some benchmarks with intel's latest raid rst raid drivers.
the write performance is quite faster in raid0 mode compared to a single 256gb 960 evo nvme SSD
anybody else wanna try their 960 ssd pro or evo to compare?
Yeah now check your write speed . The read speed is close to the max bandwidth of the dmi interface so not going to be faster than that.Your getting 3.1GB Read? Im getting 3.2 with a single 960 evo
Indeed, but what you fail to mention as a drawback is that you can't use Samsung SSD Magician anymore, so you can't activate RAPID mode and generally manage the drives (update firmware, etc...).for anyone wanting to try the beta 64bit Intel RST(e) AHCI/RAID Drivers v15.5.0.1047 for their raid setup. disable the FASTSTARTUP option in win10 otherwise you won't be able to shutdown your pc. tried some benchmarks again, and I can safely say that RAID0 is definitely faster than one single nvme ssd and cheaper than buying a bigger equivalent size.
I'm pretty sure you can do rapid mode with the ramcache II app that come with the strix Mobo. And you can always manually update the firmwares. But I guess for the less technically inclined it could be a turn off.Indeed, but what you fail to mention as a drawback is that you can't use Samsung SSD Magician anymore, so you can't activate RAPID mode and generally manage the drives (update firmware, etc...).
Do you think that this Gigabyte 1080ti will fit?
Card Size: 41 x 280 x 114 mm
A4-sfx max: 40 x 306 x 144 mm
I don't know if that milimeter in width is availible or not. It looks that it doesn't have a backplate.

Received the Titan Xp on Thursday. Been doing thorough testing and overclocking/benching since then. Works just fine in my a4-sfx.The stock TI makes my A4 case a lavabox and its supposed to average 12 degrees cooler than this Xp, good luck.

Edit: I can also confirm that it does not have a backplate.
I put this exact card in my case:
