Mini-ITX case to fit Sapphire NITRO+ 7900 XTX

[WildCAt]

Hello! I'm planning a new build and in a month I'll be buying all the parts (after vacation). Initially I was planning to build in DAN C4-SFX, but it's sold out everywhere and impossible to find (Europe). Do you know any good alternatives to this case? Ideally it needs to fit Sapphire NITRO+ 7900 XTX (DAN C4-SFX does and it's a GREAT case) or any other non-reference design. CPU will be Ryzen 7700, so CPU cooling isn't that critical, I think. Fractal Terra, technically, complies to my needs, bu it leaves 48 mm for cpu cooling, which is... not ideal, at least, comparing to DAN C4-SFX. If I put a radiator in Terra, it means no 2.5 SSD, which is also not ideal, but tolerable.

 

Backup plan is to build in Asus AP201 with mATX board.

Thanks!

I don't think any ITX case can hold a 35cm GPU like the higher tier AIB 7900xtx...

Reference models do fit much better tho at 29cm

 

EDIT : it may fit, the Nitro+ is "only" 32cm long and case clearance are

3.5 Slot up to 336 mm length
3.9-Slot up to 334 mm length

As I've mentioned, there ARE such cases:

DAN C4-SFX - can fit Sapphire Nitro+ XTX , however it's sold out everywhere

Fractal Terra - can fit Sapphire Nitro+ XTX, but CPU cooler area becomes very small. It's an option though.

also Thor-zone Nanoq - can fit Sapphire Nitro+ XTX, but will be released sometime in Q3.

 

Also Nitro+ is 320mm, not 350. I was asking, maybe there are something else I'm missing, because there cases are kinda hard to find.

Indeed I was wrong about the Nitro+ size, thought it was samey than my ASUS OC 7900XTX which is more than 34cm...

Hi, are you sure the Fractal Terra would fit the Sapphire Nitro+ XTX? I'm also considering using Terra and Nitro+ XTX for my next ITX build. After some searching, I have a feeling they won't fit together.

 

According to Terra's manual, it can fit a graphics card with a maximum width of 72mm, but the height of the graphics card must be below 131mm. For a graphics card with a height <145 mm, the maximum width is 62mm.

 

According to techpowerup.com, the Nitro+ XTX is 320x72x136mm.

BTW I've seen people put Nitro+ into a Cooler Master NR200.

It was quite a while ago, so I don't remember it for a fact. For some reason (probably by looking at provided measurements) I thought it would fit.

 

Anyway, I went with Meshoom S from ssupd for my build. Fractal cases are prettier, IMHO, but I bought Meshroom beacause it's the only widely available case that can fit Nitro+ XTX for sure..
