Zalman z9 and 1070

[safeside]

I just got offered a good deal on a Asus strix 1070 from a friend and was wondering if it would fit in my Zalman z9 plus case. Thanks for the help

Case allows GPU up to 290 mm long. Strix 1070 is 298 mm long. So the answer is no.

You'll have to mod the case. For only 8mm, it can be done.

Any suggestions on how to mod it?

First verify the GPU doesn't fit. You might be able to use tin snips or a grinding tool to make a notch large enough to accommodate the GPU. That or transfer your internal components to a case large enough.

Could anything bad happen if I take off the back panel for it?

Yes, bad things can happen if you don't know what you're doing.
