Will a Gigabyte G1 Gtx 960 Fit?

[drews12321]

Heya, I found a similar thread, but if someone could help me out with my situation i would really appreciate it. I want to get the Gigabyte G1 GTX 960 gpu for Christmas, and since its a great time to buy, would really like to buy now, I'm afraid that the 3 fan gpu, will not fit in my case with my cpu cooler. My case is the Corsair Spec-02, and i have a hyper 212 evo, which is quite a large CPU cooler, i would really appreciate if someone could tell me for sure, I believe it will, but incase my father orders it soon, and in the case it doesn't fit, I might not be able to return it with Christmas being a month away. Thanks--

The case can fit video cards up to 420mm and the Gigabyte G1 gaming is 295mm. The Hyper 212 EVO pushes the maximum size for a cooler and I recommend getting the Cryorig H7 instead. It's newer, better technology and will fit the Spec-02 without question.

Only issue is that i already have my hyper 212 cooler, i didn't have enough for a gpu upfront, not a huge issue since i am playing league, runescape, and csgo atm. but i want to get more into gaming, any suggestions?

Would a MSi GTX 960 fit ok?

The Hyper 212 may touch the case window, maybe not. It's very very close. Corsair lists maximum cooler height at 157mm for the Spec-02 and Cooler Master lists the height of the heatsink at 159mm, so you see the potential problem.

The video card fits easily with room to spare.

The hyper 212 fits ok, without touching the case window, would the MSi 960 fit better tho?

Yes, I already said the video card fits easily with room to spare.
