Fit a Longer than Recommended PSU in Case

Portalz · Jan 22, 2016

I just bought a Deepcool Dukase. It's a budget case but it is really working well and is very well laid out. The problem is I want an EVGA 750w G2 in the case but the length of it is 180mm and the Case says shorter than 170mm. I think this is because the holes cut out at the bottom of the case don't go as far along the bottom as they could have. My question is if i put this PSU in it at 10mm longer than should, do you think I will run into problems? (possible overheating) I kind of think that that much won't make a difference because it will definitly hold that size PSU, but wanted to ask before buying it. The picture shown is my case.

For the config you show, the only possible issue is cable management. The G2 is modular though so you should be fine. If you're really concerned try asking the case manufacturer, they usually test it out with multiple PSUs.

Overheating shouldn't be any kind of concern as long as you have the PSU mounted fan down, and an extra 10mm in length shouldn't pose any fitting issues. Your only issue is going to be cable management, and that's about it.

There will be no cabling issues, room is plenty there.
Problem is with the way you can put PSU inside the case.
You may need to saw off a part of case to fit longer PSU in.

Hey everyone thanks so much for your responses. Because of them I went ahead and bought the power supply because it was a good deal, and I wanted to get a quality one this time.

So everyone was right to a point. The cabling is a little tight once it is in there so I hooked everything up outside the case then put it in. Going forward it shouldn't be a problem because most of the hard to reach plugs were the motherboard an cpu. SkynetRising you were dead on, that spot was the problem. Maybe I should have cut it but it had some play so I bent it slightly for a few seconds and it slid in nicely. I don't think I would go any larger than 180mm personally with this case. Once its in place though there is lots of room at it looks great.
