Can the 280x handle the 9900k (AIO cooled) and an Rtx 2080ti?

The back of the 280x just has air holes, just not officially designed for fan mounting however the holes are the right size to fit the fan mounting screws through. While I used 2x 80mm fans from Noctua, part of the exhaust is blocked as to your point the air holes don't cover an 80mm wide area. The air holes were only there for passive exhaust. Regardless, an option, if you so choose. Note, I drilled the extra holes so I could use 4 screws to mount each fan however, you likely can get a secure mount without drilling the case. The fans just may not be completely flush, given you may only get 2 screw mounts based on the existing air holes.

 

Hope this helps.

They should do the trick right?

I don’t see a black layer on top like yours though ?

Yes, they should. I purchased these though... https://noctua.at/en/nf-r8-redux-1800-pwm

 

The fan grills were a couple of Silverstone FF81B covers I had kicking around. They can be purchased from Amazon or likely your local PC parts store.
