Just wondering if the small amount of clearance is dangerous.
As in too close to front fans etc
look at the case design and see where it would go to
It may be just shy of the fans so hopefully it’s ok.
I guess the long card brings some 300-400W of heat, crumping it into a tiny case may leave you with throttling and other heat related problems -- and never mind the noise as the fans try to get manage it.
Well the simple way to answer that is what is the minimum distance between the card and case fans do AMD or Nvidia specify for their cards? If there is no specification, if they haven't bothered addressing that question, one might infer it's a non-issue. What has any reliable authority said on the subject? Again, if it's nothing one can infer it's a non-issue.
So if it fits, it sits.
amd and nvidia have no control over that
the case mfg will say the max gpu length, but may need to remove drive cage or fans to fit long gpus
it should also list the max height, newer gpus are much taller than the card slot
Xigmatek Cyclops Black. Bought last year and fit previous card fine which was 319mm.
case fans are about 25mm thick too
so if there is a gap about that big, or the last gpu was not against the fans it should be fine
