Anyone using a ASUS GTX 670 DCII in CM Storm Scout?

Will it fit without modding?

GPUs 10.5" or 267mm in length or shorter. GPU cards have a maximum clearance for 10.6" or 270mm maximum length inside the Scout. Your GPU measures at 10.7" x 5.4" x 1.7" so you're 0.1" too long at the maximum length.

Single card in upper slot might just fit. It may hang a little bit in the 5.25" bay tho. The shape of end of the shrowd makes me think so anyways. Dual cards I doubt would work without mods.

I have measured inside my CM Storm Scout now. And depending on where the cooler from the card will hit I will have clearance, I think..

The corners of the plastic shroud are rounded, this is probably what's going to save me.

Where the red arrow is (Below that, in the harddrive cage itself is a little bit more space. Maybe one mm. extra), I meassured around 27.3cm from the front PCI-slots (Card is said to be 27.178cm according to ASUS). Where I have circled in red are the point sticking out the most. Probably around 27.1 or 27.2cm from the front. Here is where the card elevates from the bottom and have corners on the plastic shrouding. So I think it will fit, but it's going to be tight. I've ordered two of these cards now. Crossing my fingers.

BTW: Two of these cards will look awesome in the CM Storm Scout. And they will have a 120mm fan in the sidedoor blowing straight on the cards. If they fit, it will be just perfect.. Not matter what, the plastic shrouding on the cards are the longest, and it looks a little flexible. So I'm sure this will work out just fine.

If it turns out it should be a couple of millimeters too long, one can see from this picture that the last couple of millimeters is infact just the plastic shrouding, and could possible be bent a little in order to fit the card into the cm storm scout.... Could possible loosen the screws fastening the fan shroud and try to push it a little further against the front end of the card.

Also, by looking at this video, and the picture below, it looks more like the card is 10.5 inches (26.67cm) from front to the back of the shroud, instead of what ASUS claims on their site (10.7 inches/27.2cm).

I'm pretty sure it won't fit.

I'm pretty sure it won't fit.

Well, I measured 27.2/27.3mm from the front PCI to the harddrive cage in my CM Storm Scout. It should fit... If not, it will be so close that I can probably find a simple solution without cutting anything.

We'll see the coming weekend :hmm:

Good luck hope it does.

I had that same case in a build... Only one I ever bought. Too crammed for my liking.

Think I've finally found my proof this card cannot be 10.7 inches (27.2cm). By looking at this picture from overclockers.com's review of the ASUS GTX 670 DC II I can conclude a few things.. Mobo on the picture is a ASUS Maximus V Gene Z77 mATX motherboard. It has the excact same depth as my ASUS P8P67 PRO 3.0 (24.4cm). Also it has the Sata connectors at the end of the board, just like my board... And looking at this picturehttp://www.overclockers.com/asus-gtx670-directcu-ii-top-gpu-review#, the ASUS GTX 670 DC II is not sticking very far over the Sata connector.. it extends a little bit over the Sata plug coming from the harddrive/SSD.

In my Storm Scout it can even cover the whole Sata plug and still go clear of the harddrive cage. So this is proof it will fit my case. This card cannot be more than 10.5 inches (26.67cm) or so...

Hello every buddy.
Just want to know that ASUS GTX670-DC fits in Cooler Master HAF 912 easily without removing HDD bays?. I don't want to remove bays that almost full of HDDs.

And can i overclock ASUS GTX670-DC to get similar speed like ASUS GTX670-DC2 or similar speed like MSI N670 PE. Bcoz ASUS DC2 n MSI PE not available right now in India. So i stick with ASUS DC non-top model.
