gpu case fittimg

[aasimas]

my gpu is a perfect tight fit in my case. What to do? and will this generate a lot of heat?

 

[TheMentalist]

What case and what gpu do you have?

 

[aasimas]

I have a sapphire r7 265 and a micro atx case.

 

[Denis Stoikovski]

Yes it i will! Unless you don't have more than case fans but still.My 770 msi oc is fitting in my acer predator g3620 case with 5cm left to touch the case and its heating like s*** so am gettin nzxt source 530

 

[aasimas]

the sapphire r7 265 has 2 cooling fans but it is touching my case like only from a 2 cm gap

Hm this gpu shouldn't overheat at all but if that happens get a new case! Mid or atx also what is your current case?

Download Open Hardware Monitor and check the temps. I believe it will be high if you those generic matx cases and not enough fans.

Denis its micro atx case
TheMentalist I will check but do you think if I buy a card which is tight, it can be a problem to other compnents? This card has two fans by the way.

What brand?

its gateway dx4840 15c http://www.computershopper.com/desktops/reviews/gateway-dx4840-15

Well adding an extra fan will help. Your side panel has a mesh part, see if you can add a fan there(right below the cpu cap, where the gpu is). btw, is that harddrive cage removable?

 

[aasimas]

don't know if it is. Um what do u mean by adding a fan, the card already has 2 fans

 

[aasimas]

Should I install the card then?

 

[TheMentalist]

No not on the gpu, on the case itself. Your sidepanel, it has a mesh part right? Put a small fan there(if it doesn't fit inside, put it on the outside for now). Btw, check the temps, maybe it's not that bad.

The gpu sucks the air and thru copper pipes on the cpu chip so by adding fan he said adding fan to the case.

 

[aasimas]

Isee. I am reading the card has awesome heat consumption featuhres. Two fans, two heat pipes The heatsink has 2 aluminum blocks and 2x copper heatpipes to dissipate the heat.Thats enough eh?

 

[TheMentalist]

It should be enough, but your components will only stay cool if your case temperature is good. That's the reason why i suggested an extra fan.

For the single gpu yeah but in the tiny case the cpu may throw all its heat on the gpu or if the case temperature is high.

 

[aasimas]

how can cpu temp be high when u look at compnents such as memory, motherboard, processor do throw any heat except the psu. I have a good psu xfx core series 550w. so I think I will be good. Make ur final decision and tell me?

 

[TheMentalist]

Install the card, and then check the temps. If it's too warm then add a fan. The card can shut itself down when too hot to prevent damage.
And don't really get what you mean with cpu temps and motherboard and psu.
