Need help with GPU Clearance

[Lukiose]

I ordered an Inwin 901 for my next build.

Today as i was plowing through the internet in search of good deals, i've finally settled on grabbing a Palit GTX 1070 Super Jetstream, however i have ran into concern for the issue in which i am not sure if the graphics card will actually fit or not.

 

Are there any Inwin901 owners here that can share your experience with the case?

 

I've looked through google and everywhere for the maximum GPU clearance of this case and the exact size of the Palit 1070 Super Jetstream but i am unable to dig up any concrete results.

Cases max lenght is 300mm for gpu and that one is 285mm so it should fit

I'm worried about the width clearance of the cards, the maximum cpu tower cooling clearance is rated at 130mm but there is no info on the GPU clearance (is it the same?)

 

If that's the case, is this a definite no-go?

Board Size

285mm x 133mm

usually, yes. But since you insert a few millimets of the GPU into the the motherboard / the PCIe slot, you should be fine. But: Even though there usually is a little bit more space, consider the following: your GPU will block pretty much the entire vertical airflow in your case. Plus, if you pur pressure on the outside of the case (e.g. while carrying it) and they bent inwards, you will immediately touch your GPU.

Length is the one that usually matters the most since gpu's are just around same height and depth

Motherboard to side panel height: 135mm Maximum, id be more worried about where the power connectors go on the gpu.

 

best bet is to simply ask them

Sent a message to Inwin directly to ask...

 

I think i saw somewhere that someone managed to fit a 131mm without too much issue, but the extra 2mm might just be what makes or break as the power connectors will be pushing up against the side panel.

 

This sucks, i could get the 1070 Super Jetstream at a decent price but i might have to decide between the case or the card now.

 

P.S: Would a right angled 8 pin connector work? Not sure where the hell i can find one, but i could try.
