Will the gigabyte GTX 970 fit in my cooler master haf 912?

[JackDumper]

The title says it all,i currently have a gigabyte GTX 770 and it fits fine inside the case,but they say Gigabyte GTX 970 is larger,any info on this?

Thanks

What gigabyte 970 you're asking for? The one with two fans?

 

[JackDumper]

No,the Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 Gaming,the windforce 3x

The gigabyte GTX 970 card's length is 312 mm (refer http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=5209#sp), but the case supports a maximum of 270 mm video card only (refer http://us.coolermaster.com/product/Detail/case/mid-tower/haf-912.html). So, IT WONT FIT. Try a two fan model of GTX 970.

Oh. That means you have your drive cages removed. With the drive cages removed, the HAF 912 supports up to video card length of 390 mm as said in PC part picker. (https://pcpartpicker.com/part/cooler-master-case-rc912kkn1) So, you can have the Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 Gaming card.

TIP: Read this thread and then decide for upgrading.

Are you sure the drive cages are there? http://www.techpowerup.com/img/10-09-06/30a.jpg

 

[JackDumper]

Yes,they're holding my 2 hard drives...

Then how can it support a 292 mm video card? Leave that. Move those hard drives down and fit the new card. Simple.

lol so strange,i think my model is different.. mine is the haf 912 combat window,it has a window on the left side of the case and place for an extra fan

 

[Agera One]

Dafuq. LOL. You should've said it earlier. For the combat model,
VGA card length :
270mm / 10.6 inch (with HDD cage)
390mm / 15.4" (without the 1st HDD cage)

I just ordered that card, and have that case. My friend who builds computers for a living says it will fit. I think some of the cages will have to be removed. I can't wait to see how this card plays WOW on Ultra. I'm also adding a 2nd SSD just for games. I'll let you know how it goes, and how cramped it might look lol
