So I have a thermaltake mx armor + it's a big mid sized case. The bottom gpu slot of my crosshair III is basically about with card installed has about a 1 1/2 inch gap from the bottom of the card to the metal case.

Here are the dimensions on the VF3000

Dimensions 239(L) x 98(W) x 51(H)mm

I'm guessing those are the dimensions of the cooler only and not installed on the card.

Time to break out the ruler. I'm curious can you tell?
