Compatibility calculation

Check	Available	Required	Result	Data confidence
GPU length	430mm case limit	242mm GPU	PASS · 188mm	Manufacturer verified
Height + power cable	205mm case envelope	148mm (112+36)	PASS · 57mm	FitMyPC estimate
GPU thickness	85mm case envelope	50mm GPU	PASS · 35mm	FitMyPC estimate

Some case clearance fields used by this result are estimates, so treat a pass as a likely fit rather than a manufacturer guarantee. A front radiator can reduce available GPU length and change this answer.
