RIGVELA / CHECK BEFORE BUYING

Will your graphics card fit?

Compare the card’s length with the space in your actual layout. Choose exact catalogue models or enter dimensions manually for any model.

No sign-inDimensions in millimetresLength check only

If the card already exceeds the starting limit, the check shows the shortfall even with an unknown layout. An exact remainder needs the layout to be confirmed.

1. Graphics cardExact model — optionalGraphics-card length, mm

Use the complete card variant, not just the GPU chip name. A decimal point or comma is accepted.

2. Space in the caseExact case — optionalStarting graphics-card length limit, mm

Use the GPU clearance limit or measured room from the card mounting position to the obstruction. The case’s external length is not the right measurement.

3. Confirm your layoutWhat does the starting limit already include?

Stock fans may already be included. Subtract only space that further reduces the stated limit; do not subtract the radiator again from a limit that already includes it.

Extra reserve you want to leave, mm — optional

0 compares against the limit without extra reserve. This is your preference, not a universal manufacturer recommendation.

How available space is calculated

Available length = starting limit − additional occupied space

The card length is then subtracted from the available length. A negative remainder exceeds the entered limit. A zero remainder is a tight fit, not confirmation of installation room.

Fractal Design explains this adjustment for a front-mounted radiator. Use your own case’s documentation for its actual conditions.

Common questions

Can I check a model that is not listed?

Yes. Enter the exact card length and available space manually. The calculator compares entered dimensions; it does not guess specifications from names.

Does passing the length check confirm full compatibility?

No. Thickness, side-panel and power-cable clearance, mounting and other parts still need checking. PSU power and connections are separate checks.

Should I subtract both the fan and radiator?

Only if both are absent from the starting limit. If the fan is already included, subtracting it again gives the wrong result. Verify the baseline or measure available length in your actual layout.
