Ananki Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I purchased the Corsair 380T (Black) which has a 290mm GPU clearance (Officially). I'm interested in the Asus 980 Matrix Platinum which is 297.18mm long (Officially), 152.4mm tall (Officially), and 40.64mm wide (Officially). My MoBo is an Asus Maximus VII Impact. I measured from the back plate to the front plate where the gpu should go and it measured 304.8mm long. I have not bought the GPU yet because I'm not sure exactly how I should measure it to be precise and was wondering if any of you have tried to fit this GPU/MoBo into this case and if it was okay. My measurements say it would be extremely tight, but feasible. I've only built 2 cheap desktops before, both which had substantial room, and I am hesitant to buy this GPU because of the physical limitations that I cannot test personally. Would anyone who owns this particular case provide their measurements or if they own the set up, tell me if its feasible? I would also request of you if you think the height and width of the card will work in relation with the case and MoBo. Thank you for your time and/or feedback.

Ananki Posted February 17, 2015 Author Share Posted February 17, 2015 To clarify my measuring strategy; I measured from the back metal plate that you would remove to allow the ports of the GPU card out the back, to the very opposite side. I can't be entirely sure, but the GPU would have been measured from the end of the DP/HDMI to the opposite end. If so, would not a few millimeters stick out the back of the case?

Toasted Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 This link may help you decide. You will need to translate the text though as it is in Korean. http://bbs.danawa.com/view.php?site=0&board=28&seq=2836354&page=1&snb=comm&search=y&mainPrev=y Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee Corsair Dustin Posted February 17, 2015 Corsair Employee Share Posted February 17, 2015 I wouldn't chance it. The 380T has a lot of clearance, but it's still a small form factor case. You may have to opt for a different 980. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thscientist1 Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Thanks for the help Toasted and Dustin. I appreciate you guys giving me your time to answer my questions. Hey Ananki - I have a Sapphire r290 which fits snuggly into my case. it comes in at 301mm! Pics below for proof: http://i.imgur.com/7Zjtizz.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skjorten Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 How much room is left when the r290 is fitted? I´ve heard rumors that a Gigabyte Gtx 970 G1 Gaming can fit, but cant find any information about it. If its possible i would get this case.

Skjorten Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 I´ll just post this for anyone else looking for more information about fitting longer GPU´s than what the max lenght case listing is. In this case i got the Zotac gtx 970 amp! extreme core edition. Its 30.3 cm in lenght. subir fotos[/img] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trafford Devil Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 I've been meaning to replace my Strix 970 with the ROG Matrix 980 and was concerned it would not fit. But judging from the Korean link posted above by Toasted it looks like it'll fit. This is a 6" tall card so height clearance is my main worry and the description is all in Korean so I don't know if it definitely fit or if the guy had to keep one side open. Corsair Dustin what's the tallest card you've tested with the 380T? http://i.imgur.com/n8KjvOR.jpg http://i.imgur.com/q691OGv.jpg http://i.imgur.com/h1b7h9E.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee Corsair Dustin Posted May 12, 2015 Corsair Employee Share Posted May 12, 2015 Honestly we only really test with reference height cards. After Maxwell launched there wound up being a rash of cards with abnormally high coolers, even for the paltry 145W that the GTX 970 produces.

allmighty_bob Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 I was really nervous about if this would fit or not. the MSI GTX 980 Ti. the length isn't bad. but the height was worrying me. anyways it fitted perfectly :) (even with panel closed) GPU length: 269 mm GPU height: 140 mm GPU depth: 40 mm http://i.imgur.com/1VumoIh.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rizofed Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 I'm having this sort of issue right now too, I'm planning to buy a ASUS R9 Fury STRIX In theory it should be able to fit, since the card is 11.8" from length and 5.42" on height, since a 301mm GPU as the R9 290/X Vapor-X managed to fit in, I suspect this will have no trouble either, am I right? The MSI GTX 980 Ti (140mm) seems a little bit higher than the ASUS R9 Fury STRIX (137.668mm), and it actually fit pretty good, I think im actually safe buying this card after all :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgpomy Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Would a MSI GTX 970 100ME card fit in here or the 250D? Looking for a small case for college, and that is my current GPU. I think I'd prefer the 250D so if that is an option with that specific GPU, I'll be very happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooky560 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 looking myself to see if I can fit a gigabyte g1 980ti in this case, pushing it too far? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Most likely, If you look at the picture with the Zotac card and the amount of space remaining noting as well the Gigabyte card is an extra 6mm longer, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAllice Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Does Strix 960 fits perfect ? GTX 980Ti STRIX is 30.5 x 15.22 x3.98 cm GTX 960 STRIX is 21.52 x 12.12 x4.09 cm So there should't be any problems :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gippej Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Hey guys, I made an account just to chime in for those wondering about G1 cards. I am currently using a G1 windforce triple fan 970 GPU in my 380t so they do fit. However, i am concerned it occupies to much space and my card is running to hot. Usually I am in the 70s, but the other day it hit 80 degrees Celsius during the new tomb raider. Does anyone here have problems with GPUs running really hot in this case? I have two 120mm fans in the front, the 120mm exhaust, and a h60 set up on the right side so I would imagine I have plenty of cooling power.
