I know that Baddemichi, MR FOX and others has done it. Please, help me.

I think someone here got it working by using m18x r2 gpu heatsink. It barely fits but works fine.

you need to show a picture of the heatsink overlapping the card so we can see where is the naked area that needs to be covered too

hi mate,

I struggled to get the RTX 3000 working on my 18:

Key to success is to cut the fins with a dremel IOT fit the HS into the case (I had to cut at least 3mm of fin to fit the HS). That was a real pain as it's really fragile (wrap the fins into shatterton at first to avoid them breaking when you use the dremel to cut them)
