Hi overcrash! I see that you have recently bought a Gig. GTX 760 and you're using a CM Centurion 5 Chassis which is the same as mine. Can i ask how you managed to squeeze the gpu into the chassis?

i am squeezing this either today or tomorrow.
shld be a tough thing to do but worth a try...
trying to fix in my current 9600gt and 3 x HDD is already a nightmare.

am already shortlisting bigger casings just in case this fails.

will update you once i tried installing.

The thing is, i tried squeezing it in, but the hdd cage is in the way so yeah, my GTX 760 is pretty useless to me currently.

Saw the hdd cage off? Haha. Better then shelling out another $60 minimum for a new case

The giga 760 is a long card. It's about 295mm due to its triple fans. Those with small casing will have problem and those with ATX case can't SLI cause it will probably block the 2nd card with the HDD cage.

You can consider the MSI gaming. its shorter at 260mm.

or sell the giga and get another brand with shorther pcb.

I read the T & C's of PC Themes and i saw that they allowed a 1 to 1 exchange of any similar products so i'll try calling them up later to see if they allow a exchange to the MSi/ Asus variant.

Actually the hardwarezone review 760 power consumtion so high compared to 670 ... Something is wrong or not?

 

[xtNero]

Btw, did you guys get revision 1 or 2?

 

[muddle]

7 series has higher tdp thats why higher power consumption.

Hi xtNero, managed to stuff this into my Centurion 5 chassis.
Thing is need to relocated 2 HDDs. See pic below for illustration. Disregard the messy cabling.

tempting to hoot 760 to replace my 570!
