Does anyone know a PCI Express x 16 dimensions?

[Cjarka]

I am working on a 3d  project for training my skills so I chose to make a complete PC as detailed as I possibly can without melting my IRL PC but I can't find any proper PCI Express x16 dimensions and I don't have calipers to measure it myself so please help. Thanks

They may vary somewhat.  The internal slot with the pins won’t, but iirc there are several types of pcie x16 slots that have different ways of implementing the slot lock so you’re likely looking at at least several different parts all of which will have different exterior dimensions.  I suspect they’re made by different companies and sold by them to OEM makers that attach them to motherboards.  Might have to pick one.

The spec seems to only define the size of the pins themselves, not the case around them:

https://www.lifewire.com/pci-express-pcie-2625962

Both of these list the length of the slot as 89mm for x16.
