So I knew a 2 slot GPU works much better with this case, but while researching cards I came across people with different cases saying cards mounted in cases where the GPU's vertical have heat problems. And some even had overheating and throttling. From what I've found Nvidia FE cards don't seem to suffer nearly as bad from this problem. I also read 1 comment somewhere that cards with blower coolers don't run hotter vertically vs horizontally.
My question is about cards with a blower cooler. I'm looking at the Acer BitFrost A770, and I'm wondering if its blower cooler will in fact help temps here. I know the Z11 can be sat horizontally, but I have an AIO and if I do that it'll be on the bottom of the case. Which I know is a terrible orientation to run an AIO and will probably kill the pump sooner than later. (Asus Ryujin II 240)
This case is already cramped as it is when it comes to GPUs, so I don't want to risk a card running too hot and throttling. While I'm not finding anything specific to this case on Google about the GPU. Everything I've found for another case with vertical GPU mounting a lot of people are having big issues with heat. So it should apply here.
I think Z11 is one of the best case Ive worked with, took me 4-5 hours to complete. Anyone here with the same case? How do you manage the cables at the back? I know the aio placement is bad for long term but right now Idle temp is 27-31, max at 58c, and I don’t hear any bubbling from the aio.

How are you cooling your CPU? I recently acquired a Z11 and am going through the build process now. There is room for only one radiator in this case.

Why you can't put the cooler somewhere else? And I think that a vertical GPU and a cooler can't go on the "same" space. Father that, for a vertical GPU, a fe would be better because the fans wouldn't throw air against the case glass. The Acer one is not bad, but Intel GPU have not a good driver reliability, so stick to a Nvidia Fe, like a 3060ti or 4070

Step 1. Buy new case because that case does not look like a good fit for that gpu.
Step 2. Fix that cable management like damn bro, glass side panel and you can see that every day.

Hello,
I’m considering buying the z11 but at present, I have my gpu cooled with an NZXT Kraken G12 and Kraken X53 (240mm aio)
Will this fit in the z11? I’m not worried about the front space for the gpu but I don’t know of the cables will reach to the back of the case for the 240mm radiator.
Thanks in advance!
