Will HIS IceQ 7950 fit in my case?

[Jonny Chee]

I have a Coolermaster 330 case and was wondering if I would be able to fit in the above card?

The card is 295mm long and, assuming it's the same case as this, it looks like you can fit cards up to 315mm long.

Note that the card is effectively 3 expansion slots wide with the cooler so check you have room if you have any other expansion cards plugged into your motherboard.

Are you sure about it being 3 expansion slots wide? I have the HIS IceQ 7970s and they are normal sized (2 slots wide).

He is almost right it almost 3 slots wide, the card is 2 slots wide but the back end of the cooler adds almost a full half extra on the card.

Dammit, my case is the 330, not the 330U as linked above.

So, I need a new case.

The IceQ technically takes up 2 slots however the cooler is bulky and slightly intrudes into slot 3 and therefore and could be troublesome if you had anything plugged into the third slot.

I've just fitted one of these in a Bitfenix Prodify case and it was a tight fit due to the bulge on the fan area as others have said , it's pressed up making contact with the side panel but that does mean it's sucking cool air in straight from the grille on the side panel rather than sucking it up from inside the case
