If you get everything out if those 3.5” / 5.25” bays you might just be able to do a clever rotation to get the card into place
Depending on the case the bays can be removable. I had to take mine out to my GPU.
Buuuut if the GPU doesn’t fit in the case length wise these massive ass GPUs probably won’t fit height wise either. My 12vhpwr cable is making an uncomfortable ass turn with the side panel on. And it seems like every angled adapter is more house fire than the last so I’ve held off on adapters.
...once
I would be so worried about destroying the GPU I'd sooner remove the motherboard and reinstall them both as a single component. Idk if it's just me but I always have an ass of a time getting the GPU in and out of the PCI slot with some trepidatious combination of rocking, pulling/pushing what feels like way too hard, and destroying my fingers trying to operate that little slot lock piece. Skill issue?
