Compatibility Notes
-
A
Note: The Fractal Design Core 2300 ATX Mid Tower Case supports video cards up to 380mm long, but video cards over 200mm may block drive bays. Since the Zotac MINI GeForce GTX 1070 8 GB Video Card is 210mm long, some drive bays may not be usable. The Fractal Design Core 2300 ATX Mid Tower Case hard drive bays are positioned where some of the bays may be physically blocked when using longer video cards.
-
B
Disclaimer: Some physical constraints are not checked, such as RAM clearance with CPU Coolers.
