[SOLVED] Will the 1660 super fit in my case/mobo?

[DimitriosElli]

So I will be getting a Gigabyte gtx 1660 super gaming oc and I was wondering if it will fit fine on my mobo which is the gigabyte b450m s2h. Also my case was from a prebuilt pc so its a basic case one and i am not sure about it. Can someone help me?

It is compatible with your motherboard yes.

For the case, you have to open it up and measure how much clearance you have from the back of the case where the GPU will be, to the first obstacle you find.
Your gpu according to the gigabyte webpage has the following dimensions:
L=280 W=116.7 H=40.4 mm

If any dimension of the above is shorter within your case, then it won't fit.

Will, it fit your motherboard? Ye, you only have one slot and there is nothing near it. 🤷‍♂️
Will it fit your case? I have no idea, the card is 11 inches long and I have no idea what case model you have.

Well its like a very basic case with squares on the right of where the mobo should be. I think its for the hdd/ssd storage. Well it that cass i may buy a new bigger case too

That doesn't tell us anything about the distance from the back of your case to your hdd/ssd cage. You need to measure that distance. Measure along the PCI-E slot where the card will be inserted into.

With a Tape measure or ruler, what do you get between the red lines? You will also need to move the hard drive ether up one slot or to the bottom.

Its 29 cm which is 290 mm and from what I saw the card max lenght is 280 mm. Also yeah I will move the hdd somewhere else.

Excellent, you are good to go then.

Then your good to go. I would suggest getting an SSD and running windows off that though.
