A Note about the Dimensions
The dimensions reported here aren’t necessarily identical to those claimed by each manufacturer's technical specifications, but they represent the results of our measurements shown in the diagram. We do not include the height of the PCIe power cable plugs, which needs to be added depending on the specific plug and cable used.
