I don't think that is going to work. You need a slot drive for the ft03. Something like the Silverstone sod02.

You could use this:

I have a DCUII card and I just ordered this case on saturday so when I get it I can give you a comparison of the ft02 vs the haf x for gpu temps. I did read that one person had his DCUII running 15 degrees cooler in his ft02 compared to his 650D. These cards do blow hot air into the case but the three fans on the bottom provide more then enough air circulation to quickly push that hot air out of the case it seems.

The MSI twin frozr design is better for this type of case because the air will be pushed through the fins since they are up and down instead of left to right like the DCUII.

The type of heatpipes used in the cooler is much much more important than the orientation of the fins or whether it's internal or external exhaust, and the DCII uses the wrong type of heatpipes for a vertically aligned case. They use groove type wick heatpipes which are heavily influenced by gravity (i.e. they don't work well at all when the heat source is above the cooling source) so this will run considerably hotter than in a standard orientation. I've personally seen more than 10C hotter vertically aligned, so there is no way that anybody took a DCII from a case that had any airflow at all and put it in a vertically aligned case and saw a 15C improvement.

A similar cooler that would work well is the MSI TF coolers, they use powdered sintered metal heatpipes which are less influenced by gravity.

Such a horrid gap in the 5.25 bays. Wonderful case other than that. But after a drive goes in it should fill it fine.
