    Default Graphics card length


    I have a Thermaltake Spacecraft VF-I case which indicates that it has the capacity of 320mm length for a GPU. I read the features about the case on the website and was wondering if I can get any of your thoughts about this since I am purchasing a Sapphire Vapor-X R9 280X Tri-x 3GB GDDR5 OC which has a length of 308mm a few weeks from now.

    The card that was featured on the casing was a HD 6990 which is 12 inches in length. I converted it to millimeters and surprisingly it's a few millimeters off at 304mm than the Vapor-X R9 280X Tri-X.

    I converted the Sapphire card to inches, which has a difference of an inch and 1/4 I think from the HD 6990. Is that a big difference already? Gi setup na nako akong hard drive on the lower bay na para matanaw nako but naglibog ko if masulod ba jud.

    Here's a reference of my casing and a HD 6990 graphics card being installed. This is the only pic I could find that you guys can see.



    I'm afraid the card won't fit nya. Bago lang ko nka assemble ug rig sa pagbasa2 nako sa inyo mga threads diri and with the help of PCgamer and Maximum PC magazines. Mao ni ako last piece para ma complete na ako dream come true na gaming rig.

    Does any one here have a mid tower case that has the same capacity as 320mm for the gpu then has a gpu na same length with the Vapor-X Tri-x and wla nagproblema sa length pag.install?

    any mid tower case that has a removable drive bay trays pwede nimu ma butang imung vapor x, taas taas man ang cooler sa vapor x Tri-X compared to a referenced design na 6990, and ithink your case doesnt have that which is a downside for longer gpu's, but with enough ingenuity, ma fit mana nimu, diskarte lang jud,

    (see pic below) i fitted a r9 270x-toxic on a generic case, litterally if i-deretso nimu ug butang dli jud masud, but if e una nimu butang ang isa ka part and moving the hdd further down, naa kay gamayng space to slide in the card sa hdd bay and position itself to the pcie slot

    Paytera! Hhmm sige I'll take note of that too basin ma sulod pa btaw sa. I already placed my HDD pareha sa imu gbuhat. So basically the length that is indicated sa Sapphire na website is the gpu card only not including the fan? sakto ba boss? Salamat kaayo sa pagshare boss.

    I googled the r9 270x gpu and same2 jud ang g.indicate na length sa website. Again, thankful ko ani imu g.share boss. I'll update this thread nya once I purchase the card and see if it really fits.

    If naa pa lain nka experience ug ingani then na pangitaan ra ug deskarte pareha ka boss @LordZhen, please feel free to post them here.

    OT: Kinsa naka suway ug 1 long beep then 3 short beeps? Ako g.check sa Gigabyte FAQ ang graphics card daw naay error. Mo power on ako PC then I can also see the numlock boot-up but ang monitor wala nya mo tukar dayon ang beeps. Murag padong najud ni mo retire ako videocard, murag 10yrs nani. All the other parts are new man kani ra sya ang daan kay mga next week pako makapalit.
