Hey I have the Gigabyte B550 GAMING X2 motherboard and I'm planning to get a 1660 super 

I have researched the dimensions of the mobo and cannot find any information on the measurements I cannot measure mine correctly.

 

 

on the motherboard this is in the way -->  https://imgur.com/a/bk5ysiZ and my current gpu just about fits.

 

for anyone with similar motherboards, will it fit or will I have to get a new one 

 

thank you!

 

dimensions for 1660 super are 

Slot Width: Dual-slot

Length: 280 mm

Width: 117 mm

Height: 40 mm

the heat sink does not appear to be too tall.

 

What model of GPU are you using now, and what model are you planning on getting

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

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

Gigabyte makes a few different models. Do you know which specific one?

 

From what I remember, gigabyte doesn't have many large models of 1660 super, I believe their coolers aren't so bulky, so I don't foresee an issue here.

The PCH heat sink should not be taller than the PCIe socket. As long as the GPU does not have a foot at the end (few do), the card should fit without issue. If the heatsink is taller than the PCIe connector, there will be a problem.

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.
