ITX Case and graphics cards?

Tohst · Nov 17, 2013

What kind of cards could I fit in this case? Looking to max out most games on this.

Is there some way to check how much space a case has for cards?

Hd7950 will not fit barely longer card than the width of an ITX board according to these pictures http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1753832

Fits a 180mm length card. For example,
ASUS GTX670-DCMOC-2GD5

Not sure you would want to put a graphics card in that, despite its claims of "Superb Airflow" on its Newegg page the only airflow it has is mesh on the side panel. I think any decent graphics card would burn up in there.
I would be looking at something like a Bitfenix Prodigy, much better option for an SFF gaming rig. That case I would say is more in line with an extremely low power HTPC.

Calvin7 :

Where does it say it fits a 180mm card?

manofchalk :

Yes, I was a little worried about the airflow in it. I'm honestly trying to make quite a beastly ITX build, so heat is my number 1 worry. I've seen the Binfenix Prodigy, it's pretty big in comparison to other ITX cases. I'll look for other options that can allow better cooling.

Tohst :

It is 10mm more than an mini ITX board which is 170mm x 170mm. Fits what I saw in the picture.

Gotcha.

Manofchalk and rolli, how do you think these cases would do for an ITX gaming build?

Would heat really be a major issue with less ventilated ITX cases? Or could I get away with it? The third link here is probably the most gaming-friendly case, but I'd really like to keep things as small and concise as possible if I can.

rolli59 · Nov 17, 2013

This is the best if you want a real GPU in there http://www.lian-li.com/en/dt_portfolio/pc-q08/ fits dual slot card up to 300mm or 12".

Tohst · Nov 17, 2013

Yeah that was my third link. But again, definitely a little bigger than my original case.

I want something that will look cool sitting on a shelf. Small and stylish-like.

rolli59 · Nov 17, 2013

Well then it is cards like the GTX670 linked before or lower grade cards.

Tohst · Nov 17, 2013

Yes I'm definitely interested in the mini GTX 670. Will heat be an issue (make computer unusable) in smaller cases if I am running a 4.0GHz quad-core with that 670?

rolli59 · Nov 17, 2013

All depends on ventilation.

Tohst · Nov 17, 2013

So like this guy:

Would I have issues?

Probably with out modding and adding a fan.
