GTS Collision

[Lethal`]

I am thinking of buying a GTS 512mb and I realise its quite long and dual slot. Below is a picture of my case and motherboard, I have a feeling that the second slot part of card will collide with the silver part next to my current graphics card. (I don't know its name )

Anyone with a GTS know if thats going to fit?

Should be fine!

P.S: Is that Silver thing you are talking about the south-bridge?

 

[Lightnix]

I think the old and new GTS cards are the same length aren't they? My old one only just hangs over the edge of a uATX board. Looks like it'd be okay if you moved a couple of cables over, can't quite see in that pic.

That would be the southbridge heatsink, you'll have no problems there.

 

[sir-les-mp]

ditto it should fit
p.s case needs a dust

Yes it would be the south-bridge

By having no problems there do you mean the card will be over the height of the southbridge?

Also what would happen if it didn't fit, would I be able to return the card under Distance Selling Regulations ?

p.s case needs a dust

Shhh I need to get some compressed air.

Just a point, i dont think youre menat to use the molex and SATA power connectors on the hard drives

My drives have a warning on them telling me not to do it

Yep, within 7 days you can return it it for any reason at all.

Thanks for that point Meatloaf

@rounddodger: Would I have to pay P&P and does it have to arrive to them within 7 days or I just send within 7 days?

you should hide those cables better airflow

Yeh I have a thread under Cases asking for suggestions as the cables are very stiff for the PSU and im not sure where to hide them.
