Radeon 5970 in a CM 690? Possible?

[madpete]

Man, youre lucky.... If the first PCI-E slot was the 2nd slot (top to bottom) you may not have managed to fit it.


It would possibly be obstructed by the bottom plate of the 5.25" bay area. My Gigabyte board has the arrangement i just described, so i wouldn't be happy now if i'd bought a 5970....

Can you show some pics from the top radiator placement ?

Yeah, I see what your saying man. I did do some measuring first, and I knew I was in with a chance...I hadn't thought about different PCI-E slot placements, so I guess you guys are going to have to check that first. AT least we know it is possible now.

I'll attach a pic of the rad, I am lucky cause everything just fits to the mm in this case but its all good.
