Hi guys!
 
I got my hands on a 1080Ti FTW3 but my cables block the view to the LED mounted on the side of the GPU.
I am planning to buy the PowerLink but i am not sure if it will fit.
My case is an NZXT H440 Hyper Beast and i removed some HDD brackets for more room.

No, you're not going to have enough room.  You're going to need almost two inches since you'll be plugging your power cables into the Powerlink lined up with the card itself.

Two inches is about right.  I had the same issue with not being able to see the thermal LEDs so the power link helped but I still can't see them because the angle of my sight is blocked by the height of the power link, I now have to peek under it to see them.
