Hi all I'm currently in the process of building a SG07 and am trying to figure out what I GPUs I can fit into it without replacing the AP fan.

I'm particularly concerned about the Graphics Card width (or height). Silverstone's website says the SG07 can fit GPUs up to 4.53", but I have seen builds with a Gigabyte Windforce 670 GTX which on gigabyte's website are taller than 4.53"

I'm currently looking at the following cards

Gigabyte 770 (I don't think this will fit due to that piece sticking out at the top)
Gigabyte 280x (There's a rev 2.0 of this card which seems to have the 270x or 760 cooler design, so I'm not sure)
EVGA 770 GTX ACX (will definitely fit)
EVGA 770 GTX blower (will also fit, but I'm undecided between this and the ACX)
EVGA 770 GTX with Titan cooler (looks really nice, but expensive)

Any current SG07/08 owners with advice/experiences?

Thanks.
 
I fit an MSI gtx 770 twin frozr in an SG05.

It surely would fit in that much larger case. :)

I recommend the MSI, it's soooo quiet
 
hi,

i have a gigabyte hd7950 in the sg07. This card has only a small metal plate on top so AP fits, but they interfere none the less: Under the AP fan is a small air guide with a rubber part that sits on the PCB of the graphics card. As you can imagine i cant use it and the AP blows air into the cooler and maybe work against the cards fans.

The new gigabyte cards make me wonder if they fit even without the fan...
The MSI should be a better fit but I can't guarantee it!

If you end up using a blower type card try to make a fan duct, my gigabyte reuses so much of its exhaust air without a duct.
