Hi All

I have a Gigabyte-EP45-UD3L <blah-whatever> motherboard - co-owners will have noticed the way they have mounted the SATA connectors so the cables are at 90 degrees to the motherboard surface, rather than how asus have in the past where they connect in parallel to the surface of the board, much like the back panel connectors on every motherboard.

Fine as long as you don't have a long (ie GT8800 or larger) GFX card and make used of the SATA connectors.

Does any one know of a wiggy and fantastic connector, very low profile, that will "rotate" the ports to run parallel from the board?

thanks

paul

can you not just use 90 degree angled sata cables as i have the exact same issue with my GTX295 :( SATA ports are directly below :(

I could, but that only works for 1 socket as it is a bank of 4. Really wish i had twigged that before i bought it.
