a)Not water-cooled situation:
- Unplug Power cable
- Drain PC power by holding the power button
- Unplug Display cables
- Open PC case
- Unplug 8pin/6pin connectors (if you don't have these it's not worth even mentioning that card here, it's probably tiny)
- Unscrew the PCI screw holding the card (hopefully a thumb screw)
- Remove the graphics card, while trying not to bump into anything
- Find some caliper (Pied a coulisse) to measure the card
- Put the card back in the case, trying not to bump into anything again.. especially if you have some bad case cable management this will be tricky
- Screw back the PCI screw to prevent sag
- Plug connectors back into the card
- Close your case
- Plug in power cable and display cables
- Turn PC on
- Log on

- if you don't, get the neighbours, and some paper towels
- Unscrew fittings
- Unplug water tubes from fittings

- Screw back the PCI screw to prevent sag
- Screw fittings back in
- Put Teflon on fittings if you don't have compression ones
- Plug tubing into fittings
- Close your drain valve if you forgot that one open
- Refill water-loop:

It took me less time to write these than doing them. You're asking for at least 20 minutes work for case "a" and at least 25 hours in case "b". But if only there was some magical way to search for dimension without that much effort : /
Oh well ... I went ahead and did the 25 hours chore. Here are my card's dimensions:
Asus 1080Ti Turbo
26.67 x 11.12 x3.81 Centimeter
