Video card - will it fit into my motherboard?

TheTower12345 · Aug 23, 2016

Hi. I am wondering if my MSI Z170A GAMING M5 ATX LGA1151 motherboard can fit two Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1080 8GB G1 gaming video cards. They are very expensive, but I want it to last a long time. Please tell me if they will fit.

Also, will the heat generated by them shorten their lifespan? Will I need extra case fans? If so, what kind of fans? Where can I put them? Thank you.

Yes they will fit. Not sure that the heat would shorten their life span all that much, especially when compared to overclocking. Not much can be done to keep them cool aside from watercooling.

Can four case fans keep them cool enough? Also, where could I put the fans?

I think 4 will be good. Front of the case for intake. Try to have equal intake as exhaust. Back of the case for exhaust. Top can also be exhaust. What's your case?

My case is Corsair 750D Airflow Edition ATX Full Tower Case. My four case fans are Cooler Master SickleFlow 69.7 CFM 120mm Fans.

Everything is good to go no problems as long as your power supply can power everything.
For the fans you should of got 140mm fans for the front but mount 2 in front blowing in the others back and top back blowing out.
