List of cases that fit the ATI 5870

[20mmrain]

As you know the Computer Scene is all about helping others:
Do to the fact that the new 5870 and 5870x2 take up so much space. I went looking on the internet for a list of cases that would fit the 5870 and possibly the 5870 x 2 when it releases. I was not able to find that list obviously for the 5870 x 2, but also a little surprised I was not able to find one for the 5870 either.
So my thought with this post is to create that list for other people maybe searching for that same thing.
You can choose to participate if you want. But if you do here are the requirements:

1. You must have the card. Installed in your case that you are talking about. ***** Or Not have the 5870 but have a card equal to or longer than the 5870*****

2. You must provide the name of the case.

3. You must say what form factor the case is.... Micro tower, Micro Desktop, Mid tower, Mid desktop, Full Tower, and so on.....

4. Provide a picture and Measurement (So that we can confirm it) I would like to make it as trust worthy as possible.

5. Or if you have an other way of knowing for sure like another Forum's post.

So guys if you think this is a good Idea.... Please post. But I'm hoping it will take off. Also when the 5870 x 2 and the Nvidia GT300's come out we will be able to add them to the list as well.
Thank you to all that help!

Well if it's an obvious thing...... Well than I would still list it. If you know for a fact I would still list it as well but.... I would try to give as much of the facts as possible! Also If someone modded they're case to make it fit that doesn't count.......

But I just saw another post about it. Like I said still by all means list it just do the best you can as far as listing the specs....

Like for instance.... Take a tape measure and measure to the best of your ability. Or if you don't have that available go to the manufacturer's website. If that is still not possible just list it and eyeball it the best you can.

You understand though... (I don't know why) But there are people out there that give false info for no reason. I'm looking for a list that they can mostly trust.

What if you know 100% that it would fit, but can't meet rule No. 1?

 

[Jstn7477]

What if you know 100% that it would fit, but can't meet rule No. 1?

Yeah, some people here have cards as long as the 5870 or know the dimensions of the card and the clearance in their chassis.

 

[LagunaX]

I have a coolermaster CM 690.
My 5870 is on the way.
I know it will fit because currently it is housing a Sapphire 4850X2 which is longer.
Sorry for not meeting criteria.

 

[Polarman]

The Silverstone Raven 2 will definitely fit the 59XX (Hemlock) cards for sure. My 4890 has 2 inches of clearance from the bottom fans.

My old Antec Titan 650 would also. It was a deep case.

I mean for example look at New Egg's Customer review's LOL

RULE Nuber 1 changed

 

[Soylent Joe]

Cooler Master Storm Sniper - Excellent case, very study and has a ton of features. Looks great with windowed side panel (I've got one)
Fairly large ATX mid-tower case
Can fit a 13" long video card before running into big problems.

Aint I nice

 

[20mmrain]

Yes you are thank you sir!

 

[MK4512]

LOL, I just imagined a person trying to fit a 5870 into a micro ATX case...

On topic, good job, sure this will help alot of people

 

[pantherx12]

Why do you have your heatsink facing the wrong way ?

 

[Whilhelm]

I know for a fact that the 5870 and 5870X2 will fit in a Silverstone TJ07 with room to spare.

 

[20mmrain]

Actually here are some PIcs of another computer I have... It is Micro ATX and it could fit a 5870, GTX200 series and maybe depending A 5870x2 (If it's 12 inches or less)

Name of the case: Apevia X-Q Pack 2 (12Inches) Micro ATX









I used to have a HIS 4850ICEQ+4 Turbo in there fit with tones of room to spare......
Other specs of that pc:
MOB ASUS P5Q-EM
Intel e7400@(stock) But was @ 3.2 until I gave it to my kid
2 Gigs G.skil RAM 1066MHZ
1 500 GIG Western Digital 7200 RPM Hard drive SATA
Apevia 550Watt PSU
Wireless NetG card

unless am in the woods, anyway gonna see if my 5870 thats in the mail fits my cheftec mesh big tower case real soon

 

[Soylent Joe]

Why do you have your heatsink facing the wrong way ?

Is it facing the wrong way? I get temps in the mid 30's (C) on idle and mid 40's under load. I think it works just fine positioned like that.

 

[pantherx12]

Yup its facing the wrong way it also means its fighting with the rear exhaust fan for air.

If you had it facing the other way then the hot air will be exhausted directly out of the case, also the draw of air over the ram will help cool it : ]

My CPU fan is exhausting air from the heatsink, not pushing air onto it.

 

[LagunaX]

There are multiple threads on the optimal orientation for air heatsinks.

For standard cases it is blowing out towards the rear.

For your case AND for your type of heatsink it is blowing UP towards the top of the case for bests temps.

When you search though most will be titled more or less "best direction for TRUE"...

Additionally, push (blowing on the HSF) has been found more effective than pull (your scenario)...

I'm not really worried about my temps though. I mean, I don't overclock a single bit and everything is staying perfectly cool. If I ever take the stuff out, I'll move it around, but it's too much of a pain to try to get that fan off and turn the heatsink around to do it right now. Thanks for the advice though.

Corsair Obsidian, I have 4" past my GTX280 for more card

 

[JATownes]

Corsair Obsidian, I have 4" past my GTX280 for more card

Off topic: I am dying for that case...and thinking about grabbing one on the 25th (My B-day ) How are your temps? Think it is worth the $$?

 

[sneekypeet]

well if you want a chassis that is sexy, clean, and hides everything for you, its the case to get.

Temps are nominal, not great, but not bad either. Currently running all air cooling, and its as good as any chassis I have beat me components in

Personally I love the case so Im a bit partial, but if you can find it at a good price, I say get it!

 

[pantherx12]

Will put my HDD cage back in my sunbeam and measure up, I think it has enough room.

 

[mlee49]

1. You must have the card. Installed in your case that you are talking about. ***** Or Not have the 5870 but have a card equal to or longer than the 5870*****
I have two 275's which are 10.5"
2. You must provide the name of the case.
Corsair Obsidian 800D

3. You must say what form factor the case is.... Micro tower, Micro Desktop, Mid tower, Mid desktop, Full Tower, and so on.....
Full Tower
4. Provide a picture and Measurement (So that we can confirm it) I would like to make it as trust worthy as possible.

5. Or if you have an other way of knowing for sure like another Forum's post.
The 275's fit in with ease, there's even room for my Swiftech 655 pump.

 

[sneekypeet]

Thanks for following the request I sorta just cut to the chase

 

[oli_ramsay]

Bump

ANyone know if it will fit the Lian Li pc 7FW?
