Will the NVIDIA Blower GTX 970 Fit in the X51 R2?

[Bleux Riddell]

Just curious, I've seen a lot of mixed reports of the GTX 970 in general working or not working in the X51 R2, so I want to see what people have to say about it directly. The one I want is here:

The PSU is (obivously) a 330w, any feedback is helpful

Alright thanks man, are there any special modifications I need to make? Bit hard to see in the video.

Video only shows that REFERENCE models fit fine, reference model is what you showed you want to get from BBUY. I suggest removing Front Fan, ill try to find a pic. for you .

Link worked fine, thanks for the picture , I feel safe putting the reference 970 in there now, seeing your 980 inside. Just wondering, any stuttering, or problems? Just wondering if the PSU is a problem at all.

Not a damn thing wrong with it, in fact runs better than my friends 980G1 Gigabyte OC version Inside a Custom Build.
This is recent Benchmark , dont mind the Temps, this was a custom prolonged test it runs at about 80 degrees TOPS in GTA V or to be exact 80 degrees on any Heavy game "Witcher3,Far Cry 4, GTA V."
