GTX 460 1024MB OC - Cooler casing height?
« on: August 04, 2010, 07:11:55 pm »
Hello,

how high is the cooler's plastic casing of the gtx 460? Is it as high as the 2-slot-bracket, or lower?
 It is pretty hard to tell from the pictures.

I need to have an expansion card plugged in 2 slots below the PCI-e slot, and I wouldnt want the fans to touch that card.

If you supply the make of card to be on the safe side it would help. If it is Gigabyte then give us the model number.

I can't find any actual sizes but if you look at the manual page 8 it shows the card being installed and you can discern from the picture that the shroud is below/level with the end plate.
