Will the Strix RX 5700 XT fit in the NZXT H500?

[Noah0302]

Hey guys,

I plan on upgrading my GFs PC for Christmas. The replaced parts will be sold to a friend of us.

But I am not 100% sure if the Asus Strix RX 5700 XT will fit in the NZXT H500.

I know the length will be ok, but I am not sure about the height!

CASE: GPU Clearance: Up to 381mm

GPU: 305 x 130 x 54 mm

Has anyone experience with the combination of the two?

Also what do you think about the GPU upgrade?

Here are two builds using the H510i and the 2070 Super Ventus OC (127mm) and the 5700 XT Gaming X (140mm). Note that while the Strix 5700 XT has recessed PCIe connectors, while the MSI cards do not. So you will have a bit more room for the cables in your build.

Thanks for the reply!

 

If the cable, for some reason, should not fit then I'll just use something like the EVGA Powerlink, which should prevent extreme cable flex
