Will the Radeon R9 390 Nitro fit in to the space avalible in the stock Gateway FX6860-UR20P Desktop, is the card too big for case? Thank you!

I wanna say it's too long, it looks too long.

Also I doubt the PSU in that Gateway has enough Watts for the 390.

But this one should fit, and an appropriate PSU:

James Mason :

Thank you for the quick reply. I would mark this question solved, however, dimensionally I believe the card will fit.

I opened up the case, measured and it seems to have enough room LxWxD wise.

My concern is if it will clear the motherboard completely. Because of the length of the card past the motherboards end it may hit where, I think what's, a 4-pin wire is connected. I may be able to push the wire out of the way but the card closest to the motherboards end and top of the 4 pin may touch.

Has anyone used the Radeon R9 390 Nitro in the Gateway FX6860-UR20P. Or with the stock motherboard for the Gateway FX6860-UR20P?

Thank you again for your help!

SethWestmore :

They reported the card length correctly, it's exactly that size. If you have the 11/12 inches it requires than it will fit. It will definitely go beyond the motherboards length, the big cards always do. You can press the 4pins cables to the side/down though I don't know specifically which type of 4 pin you're referring to, like a 4pin PCI connector or a 4-pin fan connector.
The clearance will only be a couple MMs above where the top of the PCIE lane is, and the card will extend into the 2nd slot below that PCIE lane as well.

It fits perfectly. Just finished installing everything now. So very excited!
