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

I had the same problem not too long ago. I just bought a PCI-E extender and have the card sitting outside the case.

I just got tin snips and cut the case out when I downsized cases. It was a cheap one I had kicking around so i didn't feel too bad
When I got my huge GPU I had to run the wires to the top of the case with a PCIe extension. I ran the GPU on top of the case for a few years. Great ventilation and it didnt heat up inside the case lol
Pro Tip: Always measure the available space in your case before orderning new hardware.
Reminds me I need to order a new, bigger Fractal case.

I am curious the case now. I am always paranoid about this and haven’t bought a 3 fan for this reason
