Hi-
I am just about ready to upgrade to Skylake and wanted to ask if the Z170 Classified board will fit inside my Corsair Vengeance C70 case? If it does fit, I think it'll be extremely tight, but my gut impression is it won't be an ideal set up. I'm not opposed to buying a bit larger case (Corsair 760T is likely candidate) but I do like my current case. I like the added pci-e lanes the PLX adds and am considering this board in case I go SLI again in the future. Thanks for any input.

    Right, I know my case is ideal for mATX / ATX and that  the Z170 Classy is e-ATX. There have been posts in general on other forums that people have had some success getting e-ATX boards into a C70 case. Was just wondering about the Z170 Classified in particular. It will probably fit, except that some ports and slots may be inaccessible because of the size of the board and tight fit. I will just go to Microcenter and see if they can let me look at an open-box e-ATX board and put it in a C70 case that they have on display.

    True EATX size is 12 x 13 and EVGA's classifieds are 12 x 10.375 as Pittsburgh mention, only 3/4" wider. I don't think you'll have any issues other than maybe the extra six pin power pcie, since it's angled down and might be right above your psu. Most likely you won't need the extra pcie power anyway unless your running more than two gpus. From pictures I've seen of the C70 case the edge of board looks like it will be right about where those grommets are located for the wiring.
