Perfect Fit - EVGA 2080 XC

XG7 RGB (Rev B) perfectly fits my EVGA 2080 XC card (reference). The reference term is relative to many, but the EVGA XC is typically a standard Nvidia card with a huge EVGA cooling solution (dual fans, fins, heat pipes, copper cooling fins, etc.) - configured with 2.5 slots. Beware of EVGA FTW. Maps - which are usually longer than the standard. There are some complaints, but they don't have reference PCBs, so the fit of huge larger-than-reference capacitors may depend on core cooling or extended card length to accommodate larger fans. Corsair doesn't make graphics cards, so check the compatibility site? Cons: Personal grudges = where are the white blocks so the RGB lighting isn't swallowed up by shadows and blacks (I'm being selfish). I think seeing RGB lights floating in the dark is a waste of money. I want to see this beautiful RIG!
