GPU
Graphics card specifications vary by add-in-card manufacturer. Please refer to the following guidelines when

protruding fitting mounts that adds to the height/length.
Up to 4-slot GPU is supported. Please note that the rear IO Panel only has 2 slot openings. This is not a problem
for 3-slot cards like the GeForce RTX™ Founders Edition as the 3rd slot has no ports. Only 3-slots supported for
Classic and Reverse mode.

Radiator thickness
When used together with fans, total
radiator thickness must be carefully
considered.
Side mounted radiator allows for the
biggest flexibility with standard
thickness fans and radiator.
For other positions, consider using slim
fans and radiators.
