New PC-Building Tools

Lian Li is Helping Customers Confirm 4090 Case Compatibilities

— November 29, 2022 — Tech
Lian Li, the company most known for its premium PC cases, launched a 4090 compatibility tool on its website. This tool helps customers confirm that a certain graphics card model will fit a certain case model, which is necessary given the immense size of NVIDIA's latest graphics processing powerhouse.

To use the tool, customers must simply navigate to the page, select a Lian Li-branded case of their choice, and subsequently select a model of 4090 card, such as the Founder's Edition 4090 or one of the third-party 4090s. Then, the tool will inform the user one of three things; either the card will fit with no issues, the card will not fit at all, or the card will fit but will not have a lot of free space, meaning the PC builder must use thin cables and no conflicting components.

With the recent release of the NVIDIA 4090 and 4080-series cards, this is an excellent tool to prevent accidental purchasing.
