The best way to distinguish wether or not a cooler is fitting you card is to check it with the height restriction drawing.

To use the higt restriction drawing please meassure the distance between the mounting-holes around the GPU. You can meassure the distance at the backside of the graphics card, so there's no need to unmount your stock-cooler to find out if the new one will fit or not. You will see that in most cases the GPU is surrounded by four screws which are in a square-form.



This picture is showing the backside of a graphics card. The distance between the holes is about 53 mm.

With help of the hight restriction drawing you can check if the holes will fit with the cooler's mounting-clip.



The distance between the holes is 53.4 mm which fits perfectly with our graphics card.
If no other components, such as high capacitors cause problems, there's nothing to keep you from mounting your new cooler.

To make sure, that no other parts, such as high capaticitors do collide with the cooler we've additionally added two cross-sections of the cooler showing the cooler from the front and from the left handed side, when watching at the cooler's bottom side. The direction of the cross-section is also indicated in the upper drawing with the arrows, -> A. and -> B.



The left picture is showing the frontview, the right one the sideview.

When printing the PDF in actual scale it can be placed on the VGA-board and fitting can be tested or further meassurements can be taken.

Here you can find the hight restriction drawings for our recent coolers:
