Uhh Ohh this guy needs advice again lol

[TheTechDude]

So I have the Thermaltake chaser mk-1 (unfortunatley) but Im getting a gigabyte G1 Sniper 3 (E-ATX) and my case only calls for atx! But from what Im reading from some say itll work and some say it wont! Would anybody know for sure? I already ordered this board only because of the dual 16x pcie slots and the fact I can run trifire when I need to lol... I tape measured the standoffs and I do have alot more room than what the case specs say! Hell I could fit this mobo in their with no issues of hitting or interfering with anything but I dont get y the specs say what they do! Can anybody help?

Thanks and you all are awesome

Ive got no idea TBH but i would assume not. When the board get there just give it a try no harm no foul in trying.If it doesn't ill sell you my Haf-X lol

Pics of the case would be nice.
Standard ATX is only support up to 7 PCI slots, EATX is 10. Your plan is doing multiple GPU then you will have some issues. Three Vids take up to 6 slots and I don't know if you use Wi-fi or sound card ?

You get the idea.

[TheTechDude]

BTW, this is not my exact machine but its the same exact case! I counted 8 expansion slots and 7 spaces on i/0 shield! Everything looks like it will fit!

The atx mobo I currently have isnt even useing the furthest right standoffs!! Im hoping Ill be ok lol

[Deton]

it's not about the width of the mobo, it's the height, it will be to close or touch the PSU.

[TheTechDude]

Hmm well good news is that the Mobo I have now is 12it inches long

[Deton]

Like I said if you only use 3 dual-slot video cards on PCI-1, 2 and 3 then you will be ok.
You can't use any other expanding PCI card when you doing tri crossfire.

[TheTechDude]

Hmm lemme ask this! Anyone think trifire is much better? I understand ill have issues on certain things like I do now but is there any improvements??

[TheTechDude]

It works like a charm!! all expansions are lined correctly and looks amazing

It works like a charm!! all expansions are lined correctly and looks amazing

are we talking about tri-fire here?

[TheTechDude]

not the tri fire just yet lol... full extended atx fit perfectly in the chaser mk1! Im gonna try and do tri fire possibly later tonite or soon Ill report back once I find out how well that does lol

If ~two~ Crossfired 7970s don't run anything you throw at them without any problems, then something is wrong. IMO,......TRI-SLI and TRI-Crossfire just gives you bragging rights.
The real advantage of three is slight, compared to two.
