hi

I have a black bitfenix pandora with Window side pannel, I really want to buy a new gpu in blackfriday in 2 days, now what is making my head go crazy is the pgu width, I cant for the life of me find anything spesific about how wide a gpu the case can take, does anybody know how manufactures measure their cards, do I measure from the pci slot or the motherboard itself?

You look for the specs online

Here is what they say about the Pandora

Pandora can accommodate a plethora of high-end hardware, including graphics cards up to 350mm in length, and even a 240mm water cooling radiator.

 

Most GPU should not be that long but it all depends on the GPU you want to put in.

 

EDIT: My mistake you meant width

 

Pandora case is 150mm in width so give or take 5 mm for useless feature and that should be how much gpu can take

At just 160mm wide, Pandora features a timeless slim design that fits in any modern décor.

Also I am pretty sure they measure gpu size with a ruler

thx for answer, the length is not a problem, the issue is the width, the case is 160mm wide, some 90mm cpu coolers cant even fit because they will hit the sidepanel, the spesific card that im looking at is the sapphire 480 nitro+ and it is 12.5 cm wide,
