With the release of NVIDIA's 40 Series graphics cards, PC hardware has ushered in a new round of performance revolution. The new-generation GPUs not only bring powerful computing improvements but also impose new challenges on supporting chassis due to their larger form factors, higher power consumption, and more complex cooling requirements. As a brand focused on high-end chassis R&D, GameMax has long introduced a range of case products that balance compatibility, thermal efficiency, and aesthetic design for the characteristics of NVIDIA 40 Series graphics cards. This article deeply analyzes the core requirements for cases compatible with NVIDIA 40 Series and recommends multiple less-mentioned high-quality models from GameMax to help you build a future-proof high-performance host.

Core Requirements for NVIDIA 40 Series-Compatible Cases
1. Ultra-Long GPU Compatibility Design
High-end models of the NVIDIA 40 Series, such as the RTX 4090/4080, commonly adopt triple-fan or even quadruple-fan cooling modules. The length of graphics cards generally exceeds 350mm, and some non-public versions even break through 400mm. This requires cases to have a GPU installation space of over 400mm while reserving sufficient cable routing and cooling gaps.
2. Enhanced Cooling System Construction
The TDP of the new-generation graphics cards has significantly increased, with the public version of the RTX 4090 reaching 450W and non-public versions even higher. Cases need to support multi-fan combinations, large-area cooling meshes, and high-end liquid cooling systems to form an efficient cooling cycle, preventing the GPU from overheating and throttling during long-term high-load operation.
3. Modular and Expandable Design
NVIDIA 40 Series graphics cards support PCIe 4.0 technology, which may derive more expansion needs in the future. Cases should have flexible hardware installation positions, sufficient storage expansion space, and convenient cable management to adapt to continuously upgraded hardware configurations.
4. Modern Aesthetics and Lighting Ecosystem
The high-end PC building market has increasing requirements for case appearance. Cases supporting ARGB lighting synchronization, transparent side panels, and personalized customization are more favored, perfectly showcasing the technological beauty of NVIDIA 40 Series graphics cards.

Installation Optimization Tips for NVIDIA 40 Series Graphics Cards
1. Cooling Solution Matching Strategies
For high-end models (RTX 4090/4080), it is recommended to pair with 360mm and above liquid cooling systems. N80 BK or Cyclops BG cases are recommended, supporting front/top installation of large-size radiators.
For mid-range models (RTX 4070/4060), an air cooling + multi-fan case combination can be adopted. The front triple-fan configuration of F36 BK can meet cooling needs.
2. Cable Management Tips
Choose cases with hidden cable routing grooves (such as N80 BK, Venus Pro), and use the backline space to organize thicker cables like PCIe 5.0 power cables.
For cases supporting vertical GPU installation, pay attention to reserving installation space for GPU extension cables to avoid conflicts with other hardware.
3. Lighting Synchronization Settings
Many GameMax cases support 5V ARGB interfaces and can be linked with motherboard lighting systems such as Asus Aura Sync and MSI Mystic Light.
It is recommended to set the case fan lighting and NVIDIA graphics card RGB elements to a unified color tone, achieving dynamic lighting effect synchronization through motherboard software.
4. Dust Prevention Maintenance Points
Regularly clean the front mesh and dust filters (especially for fully meshed front panel models like F36 BK) to prevent dust accumulation from affecting cooling efficiency.
In high-dust environments, it is recommended to use compressed air to clean the interior of the case monthly, ensuring unobstructed ventilation of the GPU cooling fins.
