Case gpu compatibility

triamen · Jul 1, 2015

Hey guys,

I just finished picking my pieces, but I'm not sure if my graphics card will fit in and it is also telling me that it cant verify if the cpu cooler is compatible with the case.
Here it is: http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/K4CLgs
Should I go for it or change some components?
Also, do you think I would need more case fans (the case already has 4)?

Thanks guys!

http://www.rosewill.com/products/2496/ProductDetail_Overview.htm - CASE
Supports up to 11.8" (30cm) length VGA card (HDD cage NOT removed)
Supports up to 16.5" (42cm) length VGA card (HDD cage removed)

212 EVO + Blackhawk http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2105311/rosewill-blackhawk-hyper-212-evo.html

Other than that - very solid build. Though, i think you might want a bigger SSD for this powerhouse, perhaps 250gb?
Case has enough fans, no need in extra.

Thanks buddy! So I should change the case?

my gpu is 315mm long, so I will need to remove the hdd cage if I want it to fit in?

Xemko · Jul 1, 2015

Yes, i would do that. That's an a great option : http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/part/nzxt-case-caso530m1

According to this review, your gpu is 300m long and will fit in this case, without removing cage.

Are you sure? Partpicker is telling me that the gtx 980ti amp is 315 mm long?

Xemko · Jul 1, 2015

I'm sure, double checked it from different sources.

Though it's in russian (which i understand) they ended up with 301mm lentgh

Yeah russian! Ahaha but are you sure they are not talking about the gtx 980 (wich is different from the 980ti)?

What I don't understand is if I remove the driver cage, I won't be able to put my hdd in my case?

Xemko · Jul 1, 2015

Even, if you need to remove a cage, you will able to put hdd in, cause there are 2 cages the case.

Ok thank you very much for your help!

Xemko · Jul 1, 2015

Glad to help. Enjoy your rig

Hey! I got a last question, do you think that I would need an extra fan with the nzxt source 530?

Xemko · Jul 1, 2015

Cooling configuration of this case:
Front: 2 x 120/140mm or 1 x 200mm.
Top: 3 x 120mm (1 x 120mm included) or 2 x 140mm.
Rear: 1 x 120/140mm (1 x 120mm included).
Bottom: 2 x 120mm.

Hm, i'd place for intake one or two at the front.
Perhaps, consider this one : http://www.corsair.com/en/carbide-series-400r-mid-tower-case. It has 2 front coolers for intake, and 1 rear already included.

triamen · Jul 1, 2015

I already ordered the source 530 lol
Is 1 fan for intake enough? (I hope because I already ordered it too) ahaha

Xemko · Jul 1, 2015

I'm pretty sure it will be enough, you can replace your top cooler to the front. When you get your build together, just make a thermal monitoring.
I live in a hot country, and run hotter CPU i5 5820k, with 3 fans in my huge Corsair 750d, 2 for front intake and 1 rear for exhaust, never faced any thermal problems.
Enjoy your rig.
