Will the Gigabyte GTX 1070 Mini ITX fit into this case?

[InsaneEnergy]

Hey guys, will this GPU:

fit into this case?

I plan on upgrading the PSU, so don't worry about that. Just concerned that it's too tall or long for the case.

*Probably* Is the best answer. OEM's can be just plain weirdos with board layouts and case designs sometimes, but looking at the picture they have on that page ... should fit the board, though it will block the first PCI-e x1 socket next to the x16 it fits into because it's double height - does your case at the back have the bracket for double height cards? I notice the default GPU from HP is a low profileone ; again, normally this shouldn't be a problem, but OEM cases can't be trusted, and this is going to be a very heavy card - it must be supported by the case.

If in doubt - measure it, another user says the card is 5.5" wide, 1.5" tall, and about 7" deep, I of course have no idea how big the CPU heatsink is for example :)

Like I say, I expect it to be fine, but not having your PC there I can't say for sure, but you should be able to return it to amazon if it doesn't fit - do not buy from a seller that won't accept refunds lol.

Main thing to check when fitting (other than there's room of course) is airflow - that it doesn't affect the CPU heatsink (doesn't look like that'd be the case) and that no other cards impact it's airflow.

Okay, great! Thanks for the advice.
I read somewhere online that the spacing shouldn't be too much of an issue if your GPU that came with the PC doesn't have an LP bracket, but like you said, it's a bit iffy with OEM cases.

You will want a Blower-type card for that case, for reasons of airflow. Otherwise it will surely overheat.

Blower types blow air out the back, ones like that blow it back into the case.

All GPUs have a rear grate, that doesn't mean they are blowers.

Blowers have a special air chamber inside which that one doesn't. They suck air into the card and blow it out the back. Fans like that push air outwards from the GPU via heat pipes.

This is a blower:

I don't have room for that in my case.

Are you 100 Positive of that? It looks like a regular ATX case, you may actually be able to fit it in.

I sincerely doubt it. Those GPUs look way too long for this case.

The GPU is 10.5 inches, I still think that it should be accomodated by the case. I wouldn't take my word for it, but it's not small form factor so it should be able to fit a fullsized GPU.

It doesn't look good for that card at 13". Your board is a uATX so it's 9" square pretty much. You can measure the inside of the case, but I'm guessing drive bays will be blocking a 13" card?

But the Mini ITX one, that'll fit just fine?

Yup, it;s about 7" long.

Of course it's worth pointing out that this could be a good time to replace the case - maybe double check that when HP say uATX they've actually conformed to uATX standards (I've had a couple of situations with Dell where they've used a standard form factor but intentionally made the board incompatible with a default case by using weird layout) but assuming they have, you can get a full size atx case and have much less hassel with future upgrades and better airflow :)

I'll try for that some time next year as well as a better PSU.
On a side note, this PSU http://www.newegg.com/global/au/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16817151094 should be enough to power the 1070, right?

500W should be fine, but you can always get a bit bigger for future upgrades:

Jeez, that's actually cheaper than the Seasonic. Thanks for the help.

No worries - it was the best I could find in a hurry in your budget :)
