Poseidon Dimension

I'm about to replace my GTX-580s with an ASUS Poseidon, but have a question regarding the Water Port location.

On my GTX-580 it is 115mm (4-1/2") from the center of the rearmost Port to the back of the board.

Can someone with a Poseidon measure and tell me the dimensions from the back of the Graphics Card to the center of the water ports?

I'm hoping that the hole in my 900D Midplate lines up.

Hi wa3pnt 🙂

ASUS lists the width as 5.4'' which I presume is distance from rear of PCB to front of WC ports...

EDIT: Or thinking about it.....what do you mean by back of the board? the end of the card?

Red arrow which would be the ASUS dimension or yellow arrows?

(Cant upload pic at the moment...damned forum problems)

You can get a rough idea by measuring off the screen. Find a top down PCB shot...measure length of PCIe contact on the photo. Compare this to real PCIe length...

(Real PCIe length/screen PCIe length) x screen length to ports = pretty good idea of real dimensions

😄

Taking this image http://rog.asus.com/292502013/gaming-graphics-cards-2/pr-asus-rog-announces-poseidon-gtx-780-graphic...

I measure major half of PCIe contact at 122mm

PCIe spec for major half is 71.65mm

71.65/122 = 0.587295

times 271mm and 377mm to the respective middles of the pipes...
159mm and 221.4mm from end of card...

Thanks Arne.

Here's the dimension that I need.

LOL...would be :rolleyes:

I make that 72.5mm

More or less you understand....if you need mm accuracy then you'll have to write ASUS...

That's close enough. Not a government project, but then again if it were, I'd be stuck with +- 75%. LOL

Enough difference between the Poseidon and GTX-580 that either a bend in the Acrylic Tubing will be in order, or wait until I can afford the Poseidon before drilling and mounting the Midplate.

Thanks for you help.

Sounds an interesting project! Your welcome! 😮
