ati hd 5870

[Liam-89]

Basically i ordered my 5870 like 2 hours ago , when double checking an hour after i noticed that the cable management that overclockers done was really neat and great for my current graphics card but when i heard that the 5870 was 11 inches long i have found a problem

basically the 9600gt is like 8 inches long meaning the 5870 will probaly be near the HDD cages but the problem is that the wires are bunched together and i dont think the 5870 will lie down flat in the slot properly. hopefully someone has encountered this problem and can help me fix it! i dont wanna go
unplugging wires etc because really im not confident inside a computer

maybe these extra pictures will help

Those cable ties are wide enough so you can adjust the cables, without taking the cable ties off. I had to do it for mine.

That looks like some messy cabling to me!

A 5870 should fit in that space fine though.

Antec 900, hope it fits

ill try sort the cables out but i think im gonna have to cut that cable tie as its really tight and cant move them around much ,hopefully its just the 6 pin wires that are making it apear so big
