Will this GPU fit my case?

valletitov · May 23, 2014

Will two (sli) gigabyte gtx 770 2gb version fit into my bitfenix shinobi windowed case (with a fan on the side panel)?

Pondering · May 23, 2014

13" without hard drive/10" with hard drive

card is 11.5" long

Only if you remove the hard drive cage.

valletitov · May 23, 2014

and the fan at the window will also fit?
my fan: BitFenix Spectre Pro LED 56.2 CFM 120mm Fan

valletitov · May 23, 2014

Also a little off topic question:
does this motherboard:gigabyte GA-Z87X-UD3H have a limit on fps through hdmi in 1920x1080p?
sorry im a noob, also my english is bad

Pondering · May 23, 2014

They design the cases to fit side fan along with the graphics cards however you would want to exhaust out the side if you do the get the video cards.

There shouldn't be any limits with the motherboard but I am not sure.

valletitov · May 23, 2014

Why exhaust? wont it be better if it cools the gpu by intaking cold air?
I will also have a lot of negative pressure then or whatever its called

Pondering · May 23, 2014

Dust will heat up the video cards much much faster than a fan pulling in air. Best to pull in air from the front where there is a mesh.

valletitov · May 23, 2014

But i cant have two 140mm fans + the spectre pro led 120mm and be quiet dark rock 3 as exhaust and only two 120mm intake fans at the front?

Pondering · May 23, 2014

The bitfenix shinobi has openings along the sides of the front panel but more fans as exhaust gives it that 'positive pressure'. I don't know the the specifics though.

valletitov · May 23, 2014

You know what, if im gonna have it as exhaust or intake doesnt really matter right now. Most important is that it fits which you say it those. Now i have another off topic question: Will corsair rm850w be enough for two gigabyte gtx770? also for overclocking my i5 4670k up too 4-4.2 ghz?

maybe i should start another thread for that but it feels like you are a guy that knows these stuff

Pondering · May 23, 2014

Oh yeah, you might want to start a new thread about the motherboard since you had concerns about that. There might be better ones out there that other people know about.

Look at 1000 watts if you will be overclocking since things get scary quickly with dual video cards and overclocking.

The RM 750 and RM 850 are not good

valletitov · May 23, 2014

but is 850w enough for overclocking to? and why not rm850? I forgot to mention I live in germany, cant buy from newegg. EVGA SuperNOVA 850 is also really expensive here

Pondering · May 23, 2014

Other people who know more than I do says that it has bad capacitors. The RM 650 has good capacitors but the 750 and 850 is made by someone else.

Look over this list http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1804779/power-supply-unit-tier-list.html and see which good ones are better priced in Germany.

Also ask for some opinions on RAM / memory since the motherboard is interesting but I have no idea about it.

valletitov · May 23, 2014

thats a lot of power supplies. Corsair is most definitely the cheapest 850w fully modular gold psu here. On the second place (in price) comes 850 Watt XFX Pro Series Black Edition Modular 80+ Gold which is in the list you gave me. Think its good?

About the ram, im going with the Crucial Ballistix Sport 16GB ddr 1600, the´re low profile, fit with the be quiet dark rock 3 and cheap in germany.

Pondering · May 23, 2014

Go with XFX. It is made by seasonic. I do remember reading about the ballistix though. I didn't price compare between the normal height ballistix and the low profile. The price difference was so small and it would have allowed me to look at CPU coolers without any worries.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128591 this one says 1600

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128592 the one you chose doesn't

valletitov · May 23, 2014

on pc partpicker and gigabytes site it says it does support 1600: http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4481#sp
i think the one you think i chose, is some kind of older version cause it says up top: A newer version of this item is available

is xfx quiet? i want to have a silent gaming rig

valletitov · May 23, 2014

also for the fan at the window, cant i buy a 120mm mesh for it?

Pondering · May 23, 2014

Doesn't the game make sounds?

I know that a XFX with a 120 mm fan is loud but 135 mm fans will be more quiet.

The only one that I know from personal experience that is extremely quiet is the Antec HCG (High Current Gamer) series. I have no idea about their prices in Germany.

Both the XFX and Antec HCG are based on the seasonic platform but the main difference is 135 mm fan versus 120 mm fan.

valletitov · May 23, 2014

they are not expensive but all of them are 80+ bronze and i want at least gold

do You think i could buy a 120mm mesh for the side panel fan so i coud have it as intake?

Pondering · May 23, 2014

It is a good idea to buy the mesh then you can see how much dust builds up.

Just make sure that you get a XFX gold with 135 mm fan

valletitov · May 23, 2014

ok, im gonna buy a mesh filter and probably the xfx too. My problem is pretty much solved then, thanks for all the help Pondering, really appreciate it!

Pondering · May 23, 2014

I have no idea what is going on either so that helps a lot since I can't assume anything. It was nice chatting with you.

Will this GPU fit my case?
