XPS 8940, full length GPU compatible?
The title says it all. I ordered a Dell XPS 8940 with a 3060 Ti but I'm giving that to my brother in exchange for his full-length 3060.
The GPU that I want to install: https://www.asus.com/Motherboards-Components/Graphics-Cards/TUF-Gaming/TUF-RTX3060-O12G-GAMING/
My question is, will it fit?
Thanks in advance.

The ASUS card dimensions are
30.1 x 14.3 x 5.4 Centimeter
308 mm (12.13 in.)
case including front bezel is only 7 mm longer than ASUS card. I am not certain this card would fit lengthwise. If it did, it would be extremely tight fit. Use a ruler to measure the inside depth of your chassis. Is it more than 301 mm?
The ASUS card is 2.7 slot width. 8940 case seems to have enough room for up to 3.0 slot width based on rear view.

This review states that it will indeed take a full length GPU. And this list of compatible GPUs has the 3060 and 3070 as compatible.

@Buddima You will have to disable Secure Boot in BIOS on the XPS 8940 before swapping in that other (non-Dell) video card. Otherwise the PC probably won't boot...
