Will 0.11 of an Inch Make a Difference?

[EGU Phantom]

I want a GPU that is 8.47 " x 4.77 " x 1.61 " But my case only supports 11.4”x5”x1.5” Will 0.11 of an inch really matter? here is the e-mail that I got from Rosewill

Dear *****,

Thank you for contacting Rosewill Support Service.

Please be advised that FBM-01 could support video cards up to 11.4”x5”x1.5”. We cannot guarantee if it will work with 8.47 " x 4.77 " x 1.61 " Inches video card properly.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Sincerely,

****.

I would say so, as it it is quite likely that your GPU will be touching the case somewhere it shouldn't be, which is very bad

Well, it is the width, not the height. So just to be safe, should I get an ITX version?

Either that or see if one of the competitors has a card which fits in those dimensions

It is the GTX 960 that I am looking at. If you know of any other cards, let me know, but I have a 500w PSU

I meant different coolers from other brands

what's your motherboard??? usually the graphics cards are in the 1st or 2nd slot, so as long as it's there you should be OK. or is this a triple-wide card?

My Mobo is a MSI A78M-E35 But all I know is that the card is 1.61 inches wide

you're fine. the graphics card fits into the blue slot (pic below) and since it's only a double-wide (normal for these), it's not going to go past the board, so you can totally ignore the 1.6" part. the height("5") is standard, and you have enough length space (11.4")

Thank you sooo much!!! All worries = gone. I am getting the ASUS GTX 960, OR EVGA, OR MSI... crap... which one?

well, in the Q&A section of Newegg of that case, someone said he fit a 7970 in there, so... get one of those! 😛
