Hello guys,

Will R9 280X-DC2 fit into my CM elite 311 case?

Thanks

The card is 11.2" long (284.5mm), the case accepts cards up to 281mm. You will have to remove the drive cage to fit it in.

Hmm, i have GA-Z77-D3H MB, so this could be problem, because i cant use other slot than 1st for graphic card. The second slot has only 4 lines, the first one has 16 lines. So that means that i cant fit this card to this case?

Well, the lower drive cage is removable I believe. But the card would occupy the 2nd and 3rd slots. So the non-removable 3 1/2" cage above would be a problem. I'd look for a different card or think about a different case.

You're right, thanks a lot.

Had the same problem. Realized it after purchasing. So I bent the lower SSD cage a bit from the edge using pliers. Worked fine

Yes, there's always the solution of "modifying" the case to make something fit that it wasn't designed for. I have done my share.
