Kiddles Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Hi Guys, I've been trawling the net and these forums trying to establish the max height of a graphics card for the Corsair Obsidian 250D. I currently have a 750ti in my rig which is 128mm high and am looking at replacing it with an MSI GTX 970 which is 141mm high. Will this fit? Any help is welcome.

pegotico Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 I don't think it will fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xerphiel Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 I've been searching for information on this also. And there are lots of people interested over various forums. Essentially, if anyone has fitted a 970/980 GTX, within the 250D please jump in and say! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downto Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 The MSI 970 Gaming fits in the 250D. I just checked (only with the mobo, the graphic card and the case, as I plan to build the rig this saturday). The plexi is thin, and there's a 6-8 mm clearance between the heat pipe and the glass. http://tof.canardpc.com/preview2/3a281f8b-3c56-46f9-8e91-401ac5daa508.jpg http://tof.canardpc.com/preview2/d6ad524e-32e0-4763-9fd4-0b7a1c5af833.jpg http://tof.canardpc.com/preview2/c2ce06df-e310-4b15-a4df-ec0e68adfdd5.jpg The light grey area above the heat pipe is hollow. No issue with the optical drive (which needs to be removed first). There should be no problem with the power connectors either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zydus Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 I was able to successfully fit the MSI GTX 970 into the Corsair 250D. I did not have any fitment issues. The heat pipes don't touch the top of the case and there is some breathing room.

rene mauricio Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 I guess I should post this here in case anyone else is curious. The STRIX 970 does fit and it does not require you to use a shorter (140mm) fan at the front nor does it render your 5.25 useless. You can have your cake and eat it too! http://s30.postimg.org/lix46yqe9/DSC03339.jpg http://s30.postimg.org/fgphgh1y9/DSC03335.jpg If the heat pipe were a hair taller, it would not have worked. It is almost like they were meant for each other. :loveeyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobes Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 I know that MSI 980 Gaming and EVGA 980 ACX 2.0 fit in this case but what about ASUS GTX980 DirectCu II Strix OC ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STKDave Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Are you sure about the 980's? I am goint to buy MSI or EVGA. I am sure about EVGA fit but not about MSI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ernestx Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Hi, This my first post on this forum. Anybody able successfully to fit the Massive Asus ROG Matrix Platinum GeForce GTX 980 Ti Card on 250D casing? Thanks you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Check the dimensions of the card and compare it to the dimensions of the cards posted below. If your card is bigger than the current ones founds here, chances are it probably will not fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldenboy Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 So the taller GPU's will fit like the MSI Gaming cards. Can someone verify if i can also fit a 200mm fan in front with longer cards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
