[Jordan_C21]

I have a Meshify C, thinking about buying an ROG STRIX 2070 Super, its said to be 305mm and pcpartpicker says the case has 315mm of clearance but idk how that factors with fans.. i know for a fact the gigabyte gaming oc model will fit but im not sure how high it will overclock.. what are yalls thoughts

The clearance is 315mm with the stock front fan installed according to fractals site.

You should be fine, and from personal and acquaintance experience im going to have to say avoid gigabrick gpus. you deserve better lol.

to be frank what im worried about is it not fitting and then newegg having an insane restocking fee... then again even if worst comes to worst removing the fan should fix it i think

Theres plenty of room to move the fan up a slot too, so even if thats the case you should be fine.

IIRC fractals fans are standard thickness for 120m, so like 22-25mm. But you should be fine even without moving your fan, thats just a backup plan.

Im running a 2080 XC super myself, but overclocking on it isnt amazing, its definitely the budget card from them but its the only one from the rtx series i have experience with.

 

You should be fine though man. Clearances are usually spot on. pauls hardware did a build in the meshify c with a 1080 strix back in 2017, and still had probably about 1 or so inches or so of space between the front fans and the card. the 1080 strix is 298mm, so only 7mm shorter than the card you want to use. 

 

It'll be close, but it should fit.

I found a guy on pcpartpicker post pics of him getting the card in the black version of my case so I'm sure it will work. Thanks dude
