I would like to understand how to choose a graphicscard that fits the case I want to build a pc around, no watercooling, only air

 

I want to build from these two

 

BitFenix Prodigy Mini-ITX
Corsair Carbide Air 540

 

how will a GTX 770 do in each of them? or/and what would fit the best when it comes to airflow?

 

Thanks

 

and, Linus, could you please make a few videos on this subject?

There would be too many different configurations for Slick Linus to test.

Look up case reviews. There are generally sections where they test the cooling. 

If you ever need help with a build, read the following before posting: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/3061-build-plan-thread-recommendations-please-read-before-posting/

In an Air540 you should be fine with any 770 assuming it fits. 

I don't particularly think you should have too much of a problem in a prodigy either, as long as you keep the air flow up. 

 

Reference coolers are always an option, but you have to consider how much hotter and noisier they are compared to aftermarket, and if they would even help with thermals that much.

It will fit, but will hurt in the BitFenix case

Put it in the Air 540 so the 770 can actually breathe

hellooooooooo

You'll want to have a blower style card for an mITX case such as the Prodigy.

Case: Corsair 4000D Airflow; Motherboard: MSI ZZ490 Gaming Edge; CPU: i7 10700K @ 5.1GHz; Cooler: Noctua NHD15S Chromax; RAM: Corsair LPX DDR4 32GB 3200MHz; Graphics Card: Asus RTX 3080 TUF; Power: EVGA SuperNova 750G2; Storage: 2 x Seagate Barracuda 1TB; Crucial M500 240GB & MX100 512GB; Keyboard: Logitech G710+; Mouse: Logitech G502; Headphones / Amp: HiFiMan Sundara / Mayflower Objective 2; Monitor: Asus VG27AQ

It should be just fine because there's a grill on the graphics card side where the card can suck in fresh air.

My friend has an AIR 540 with a pair of GTX780 Ti's in it and I must say , it looks baller, The AIR 540 is similar to my Caselabs M8 in that there are two sides to the case as they are wider than most regular case. He has his CPU cooled with a H100i but his 2x Gigabyte GTX780 Ti's are air cooled, he doesn't seem to have any problem with heat....

Most manufacturer websites will tell you the specifications of each case. From this, you should be able to work out what you can fit in.

 

Another idea would be looking at completed builds on PC partpicker; most cases with a number of ratings will have been used to house gaming builds and have long GPUs, if they are compatible.

Just to clear some things up, they are two very different cases for different harware. One is for mitx and one is for ATX and bigger.

The 770 will od fine in both, but for the prodigy i recomend a blower style like this

For The air 540 i recomend an aftermarket like this
