I recently posted about my upgrade from a 1660 Super to a 5070 Ti, but I left out some details (I was embarrassed)… Even though my case, the Montech AIR 1000 Premium, supports graphics cards up to 340 mm in length, and my 5070 Ti is also 340 mm according to the specs, that turned out not to be enough, and it didn't fit.

I solved this problem by removing the central front fan, after which it fit—barely, but it fit. I was also able to install the included stand, albeit in a rather odd way… In any case, I’m going to buy a low-profile replacement fan so there won’t be a hole in the case and it will stay cool. You can hate me for this decision, but there’s no other way)

Hi everyone. I want to share a little bit of good news from my life: after 5 years with a 1660 Super, I’ve finally upgraded to a 5070 Ti. I’m really happy with this upgrade - I’m looking at my game library in a whole new light, running everything on ultra settings! Yes, my system (5600X/16GB DDR4) isn’t quite up to par for this graphics card, but I have no desire to spend roughly the same amount of money on a platform upgrade at this moment.
