I had to take the shroud and fan off a gtx950 to get it to fit in a single slot mini itx build
New mini build

I made a custom fan mount from some black plastic I got off the case of an old Verizon modem and drilled and dremeled it to match the existing holes in the heatsink
Connor Roberts
then I attached a smaller low profile fan to the mount with epoxy. I can't use the existing GPU connection for the fan cus it's different so I just connected it to the molex connector from the PSU. I think it will be alright, it will just be running constantly.

When you say epoxy, I hear glue gun. No need to hide it user, we all use them.
Jacob Carter
this is what I used. it should hold up under the heat I'm guessing.
James Ortiz
the only thing I worry about is the heatsink is about a mm from the PSU now because it's such a tight fit. Also I only have 8mm of clearance between the 6 pin connection and the inside of the case cover so a regular 6 pin connector coming from the PSU ain't gonna work

I did find this custom 6 pin cable on ebay though, it's pretty badass and less then 3mm of clearance needed. It's freaking $20 though for a cable. I'm wondering if it will be easier to just try and make one myself from an old 6 pinner.

this was another major issue with the GPU. since the card is made for 2 slots the back plate ain't gonna fit on this case with only a single slot space available.
Kevin Davis
so I made this bootleg cover using the placeholder slot cover that came with the case. it's really ugly but I can't find a single slot cover to match this card and I figure no one will see it anyway. if anyone knows where to find a real one lmk
