Low profile PCIe brackets are a standard size, all low profile brackets are compatible with low profile cases.

I have a Dell Optiplex 790 DT, and after a discussion here I decided to purchase this card so that I could solve the case problem. The only issue is that I 100% need to know if it would fit the tower. I know it comes with a low profile bracket, but I need to know for sure. Can somebody quiet my fears and figure out if it would fit with the dimensions of the Optiplex 790 DT?

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

How many watts do I need?

my second concern is the size of the heatsink. Would it be too large? Would it face towards the CPU fan or the power supply fan?

 

Because the pcie device can only go in one way, it would seem that the heatsink would face the psu.

Also that heatsink is pretty tiny, so it shouldn't cause issues, especially if you put it in the blue pcie slot.

I only see your reply if you @ me.
