Will the MSI Duke GTX1080 fit in the Thermaltake View 31?

[Panzer_Powner]

Ok so I am floating between the H500P and Thermaltake View 31. And I want to know, can the MSI Duke GTX 1080 fit on the PCIe riser without removing the Hard Drive Bay.

Wiithout removing it, no. In fact most cards cannot fit without removing the HDD bay, as noted above the clearance is 278mm, and most 1080/1080ti aftermarket cards are about 280mm

 

In addition, I dont recommend putting a GPU that you plan on cooling using air in those vertical positions, they get significantly hotter than they do when mounted traditionally.
