I had to drill some rivets out and remove the hdd caged aswell, not the end of the world. Worth it, the cards a beast compared to my old gtx580 it replaced (which i sold for £60 on gumtree so upgrade was £146)
the card is bigger than expected as it doesn't state the card length in the description.
its quite heavy as well. card is great and doesnt sag at all unlike my current GPU which is not even heavy compared to this and sags lol
