Will my card fit?

rocky010 · January 31, 2015

Hello. I've recently ordered the Sapphire R9 290 Tri-X OC after checking on the forums that my power supply would be sufficient, then I realised I should've have checked whether it would fit. According to the respective manufacturer's websites, the card is 305mm in the length but the case, the Zalman Z11 Plus, only supports up to 290mm cards. I took out the tape measure to check the space I had in the case, and it seems that I have about 307mm. I have the option of cancelling the order and looking for a different card, or crossing my fingers in the hope that the card would fit.

I would like to hear your opinions as to what I should do, and ask if there is anyone with the same case and the same card, or a card similiar in length, that has managed to have the card fit in the case?

Many thanks in advance.

Yes the card is long but not that long I had no issues Putting one in a NZXT S340 which is smaller case then the z11 in both size and interior volume.

However the Zalman Z11 Plus has a different interior layout/design, and your case supports cards up to 364mm according to the website. Thanks for the help though!
