Hello tom's Hardware community!
I have recently bought Bitfenix Prodigy m-ITX case and my Sapphire Vapor-X R9 280X nearly fit into it. The problem is that the graphics card is too fat and nearly touches my side panel. I have also bought a windowed panel for the same case - and now if I put it on, the fans just stop working, because the window is blocking them. I have recently tried Gigabyte Windforce r9 280x rev 2.0 and it fits much better (because it is thinner). Maybe you could advice me a r9 280x card that is even thinner than Gigabyte's solution?
The another problem is heat. When I change the side panel with the ventilation to the windowed version the gpu just goes insane. At the moment I only have 2 stock fans 120 mm that came with the case. Will adding more fans save the day? Or I just need to refuse from the windowed version? Thanks in advance.
