How can I fit my 970 into my case,?

[RangerElement]

I just got my Gigabyte G1 gaming GTX 970 and I have an h440 but I can't fit it into my case, I removed all the hard drives bays but not the cover. How do I remove the cover, if there is one?

You don't make much sense. What cover are you talking about? TO remove the HDD cage you would have had to remove the case side panel to gain access to the inside of the case.

The NZXT H440 specifications says that after removing a HDD cage, you will have 406.2 mm clearance for a GPU.

The specifications for your GV-N970G1 GAMING-4GD card says that it's length is 312 mm.

All that remains is to remove the bracket at the back, fit the card in, connect it to power and then connect yor monitor to the outputs on the card and you should be good to go.

Doing somethng wrong?

Gpu,

Card size L=312mm, W=129mm, H=43mm

Case,

Clearance GPU Clearance With HDD Cage: 294mm GPU Clearance Without HDD Cage: 406.2mm

The cover that I'm talking about is the thing that holds all the hard drives, you put your hard dr8be onto the one of sliders and then slide those 2 things into the part where it hides it. You know on the part where the window isn't showing on the right side of the window panel, that part where the window isn't showing is where the hard drives are staying. Isn't that the braket your talking about?

That "plate" that hides the hdd's from sight (and is part of their mounting system) can stay where it is,the gpu can partially sit behind it=where a hard drive could be as you asked in the p.m.

It almost sounds like you're describing the hard drive cages.

Take a picture with your finger pointing to the part under discussion.

Mounting brackets are at the back of the case and is where the card has outside connectors.

Look at this video for how to gain the space you need.

The guy on the video refer to them as "sleds", and you take out one or ore of those to gain the space for the video card. I imagine it will be a touch awkward getting all the cables connected with the plate on the other side, but that's how this case rolls.

Is this your case? http://www.nzxt.com/product/detail/143-h440-performance-mid-tower.html Have you tried to insert the font part of the card in the case first, then insert the back and set it into place?
