Will it fit...

Hello everyone.

 

Since my old 7970 was DOA and i got a refund. I'm thinking about buying an GTX770-DC2OC-2GD5.

But... I might possibly run into a slight problem. When i was checking the dimensions for my case to check if the card isn't too long, I found on a random website (not CM, since it's down) that my case, CM Centurion 5 II, has a max gpu card lenght of around 250mm.

 

Guess what. The 770 is 271.7mm. I don't know if it'll actually fit. You might in hindsight say it won't fit. But when looking up my old 7970 that did BARELY fit in my case, i found it it was actually 305mm. So i'm quite confused right now. I was lucky with the 7970 that i could barely fit the second power connector. 

 

Do you think i'll be able to cut a piece out of my case when it ends up not fitting?

And do you think this will just fit?

Just remove a HDD cage if it doesn't fit.

Well, if your 7970 fit and it was longer, then the 770 must fit

Just remove a HDD cage if it doesn't fit.

It's not clipping the HDD cage. It's actually clipping the dvd drive cage if you know what i mean. And i don't think that's removeable.

You just answered the question yourself....

if the card is shorter than the dimensions of the 7970, you should be fine. NVIDIA cards don't tend to be long.

Ok thanks. It was probably a dumb question, but better be safe than sorry right
