Cooler Master elite 335 GPU compatliblity

[waleedshahid001]

Hey guys ,

 

I have an issue.

Am planning on getting the MSI gtx 970 gaming 4G twin frozr V.

 

Now my current case is the cooler master elite 335.

 

According to the cooler master website the maximum vga support is for 230mm length.

Link : http://www.coolermaster.com/case/mid-tower/elite-335/

 

But I have checked the dimensions of my case physically and according to that i can easily go up to 310mm.

(picture attached,apologies for the poor cable management)

 

My current gpu is the xfx 6950 which has a length of 245 mm (also greater than the listed casing maximum).

 

So should I get the gtx 970 because apparently the cooler master website is wrong.

 

Furthermore can the width and height of the msi gtx 970 also cause any issues ?

 

Thanks for all the support.

I don't get it, you just said yourself it fits in.

It will fit fine but you might struggle with air flow in that case.

The 970 will fit just fine.

The specification is compensating for when the hard drive bays are filled.

The measurement is probably taking into account any potential 3.5" HDD's in that drive bay
