  That is a good point! I am thinking it is a regular full size ATX? But I’ll try to find a model name and search it.

    I’m talking about the max length of the card you can fit. Almost all modern cards are longer than an ATX board, that’s not standard AFAIK.

    Also some are too wide but that’s rare.

      Oh wow ok. I am not finding any other standards to look up – I guess you just have to measure with a tape measure to see what clearance is there in the case.

      I couldn’t visualize how it could be compatible with ATX but also longer, but I found this site with a helpful image. https://www.cgdirector.com/gpu-clearance-explained/

      The distance from the pins to the edge of the case is the same, but the distance the other way to the “inside edge” of the gfx card varies widely!

      Thanks for the advice!

        You got it right !

        You can use a use a tape measure to get the distance from the ports to the end of the card or use the specs of your case as they’re listed on most pc component websites, like I did.

        You do have to know which case model you do have, though.
