Will a GTX 1060 fit in my MicroATX board?

[kylecb]

I have a Gigabyte GA-H110M-A Micro ATX LGA1151 Motherboard (https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/product/hMvZxr/gigabyte-motherboard-gah110ma).

I ordered an EVGA GeForce GTX 1060 (https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/product/pbL7YJ/evga-geforce-gtx-1060-6gb-gaming-video-card-06g-p4-6161-kr), but now I'm worried that it might not fit since it's a small motherboard.

Anyone know if it will fit, or how I would find out without actually having to test it?

Thanks!

It will fit fine. Your motherboard size does not matter in a GPU unless is super heavy, which it is not.

Amazing, thanks man! I was stressing lol... I'm new to building computers. I was worried that the thickness of the card (with the fan making it thicker) would mean there was no space for it.

Pcpartpicker should show you if it isn't compatible with everything right?

@JustDvine: I would hope so, and I did use that site, but I know they have some errors and I wasn't sure if they would consider things like that.
Fingers crossed that they were right!

Not necessarily, had a situation where it was showing my MATRIX card as compatible with the RVZ01B; upon further inspection of the exact dimensions involved I deduced that it was not. Once the case and my GTX 1070FE arrived I checked just to see, and sure enough the MATRIX was too big. If it looks tight it's better to investigate further on your own than to trust pcpartpicker.
