RTX 3090 too big for a Mid Tower case ?
I'm planning to buy an RTX 3090 but i read it'll be very big in sizes. I have a Mid Tower Silverstone RGB PM01,with a Z390 Master will this be enough for this GPU ?

Seems like it will fit easily.

Stick to the FE if you have a smaller case. Otherwise for these 3rd party ones that need 3 to 4 slots and will also be slightly longer, for those I'd suggest a larger case. Definitely one of modern design that doesn't have ANY 3.5 inch or 5.25 inch drive bays in there. At least not at the very front like older case designs had.

Many of those larger 3rd party versions will also need a beefier PSU compared to the FE

You are forgetting that 3090 FE is the same size as most 3rd party 3-fan gpu's. 313x138mm actually, and 3-slots thick. It's 12mm longer than my EVGA 2080 super FTW3 (which is 301x139mm)...

But anyway, it will fit in OP's case.

The 3090 FE is a 3 slot, you can read it on nVidia's own website.

What AIB partners decide to do with their distinct design is up to them. Gigiabite does things differently from ASUS etc.
