3rd GPU on Asus X99-AII MOBO in Fractal Design S case - possible?

[eco_bach]

Hi
Recently purchased 2 additional Nvidia GTX 1080 gpus to complement my existing GTX Titan XP gpu on an Asus X99-AII mobo.

Thought I would have no issue installing 2 additional cards since there are 4 gpu slots and I thought I had plenty of room.

However, when installing it seems that the last slot, furthest from the cpu, cannot be used because of lack of clearance with my PSU.

Here are some pictures on my google account

You can see I am using the 3rd slot for a 2nd gpu.

And this is my part list

Before I return the 3rd GPU can anyone tell me if there might be a way I can accomplish this?

Why don't you use 1/2/3?

Edit: forget what I wrote...

You can use a riser and put the GPU vertically somehow.

Thanks. I assume there wouldn't be enough clearance to do 1,2,3?
Also,because of all the heat coming from the backplate I assume there would be issues without putting them under water.
Are you possibly aware of a multi gpu build that stacks the gpus that close?

But will give it a try.
The riser seems like a good alternative as well

Wish I had gotten a larger case

I think the riser is your best bet.

Watercooling them with full nlocks is a possibility as well (much more expensive than the riser though!).

Your best bet long term is to grab a full tower case.

And that would be less expensive than going water.

Thanks. Even with riser, I still have the problem of space.

Think I have to get a larger tower case. Suggestions?

Look in my sig and you see a list I've been maintaining for the last couple years. There's some really great cases in there. Narrow it down to a few that you like the style of and we can verify it will fit your needs a little better.
