Will an ASUS hd6850 fit?

[HostileDonut]

I have a Rosewill R101-P-BK MicroATX Mid Tower PC Case I would like to put in a ASUS hd6850. I have 9.5" of clearance give or take a little. Will an ASUS hd6850 fit?

Really can't say, it all depends on which model you get in your hands..... although one things is for sure, the card is not made for the HTPC...... Since you have a Mid Tower Case it might squeeze itself in, but, the space is going to be too tight..... Don't risk it unless you're sure of what you're getting and the exact dimensions of it, plus, you have enough free space inside the case.
A HDD jutting out or the FP wire connector jutting upwards anything could mess it up. Especially since it's a Micro Board you'll also have a higher SB Heatsink.....
Better check it out directly....
And it's preferable not to post 2 threads of the same topic or content.....

Well no one was giving an answer.

That's because no one knows what you're getting other than you....
What's the dimension of the card that you are getting?
If your case has that much space free without any hindrances then yes it'll fit.
If you have too much of clutter on the inside then even the smallest version of that card might not fit..
so it finally all depends on two things, amount of space in the case and the size of the card you're going to get....

Well, I have about 9.5 in. clearance, but I have heard that the card is 10 in. and 9.5 in. I think I will buy the HIS version. I knoew it will fit becuase it is only 9. Thank you for your help.

Post a pic of the insides of the rig after you install the card and you're welcome....

I don't know how. Plus I will probably get it in February.

Posting a pic is simple, just use the insert image tab in the reply section after you've uploaded the image to any free pic hosting site and put in the image url there.

Thank you, but I wont be getting this card for a few months probably.

So then in that case you might have a chance to get your hands on a bigger case?......
If that happens, I think you'll find a solution to your dilemma...... pretty easily....

I found the non-OC version of sapphire which is only 8.5" so I will get that and OC it the max.

That's good news........best of luck, but check the Ocing capabilities of that card first too....
