Phanteks Shift Xt with EKWB 4090 active backplate waterblock

[jlodvo]

hello would like to ask if the phanteks shift xt case will fit a 4090 waterblock with active backplate?

plan to get this waterblock from EKWB but im not sure if it will fit the phanteks Shift XT case

Look at the specs for the case, often times it will list the max length allowed for GPU, then compare to the size of the waterblock.

Where do you plan on putting the pump, reservoir and radiator? Besides that I'm not so sure the fittings block part would clear the case. That case is designed for an air-cooled GPU. Says it supports up to 3 slots and 324mm length.

i plan on external watercooling system like this one

im just not sure if a active backplate version is thicker then non active backplate, so if its thicker might not fit right? ive a seen a couple of shift xt with waterblock gpu but not having seen one with a active backplate
but if it will fit then i'll get a active one
