Nvidia GeForce 8800GT / Rosewill500w psu

Itronix · 05-16-2008, 06:50 AM

Should be, but I would like others to chime in here.

See that row of capacitors? On the picture, there is a W and a T. I wonder if those would interfere with a 8800GT?

Edit: Also, that page shows an ATX replacement power supply for that board, so three places now say ATX power supply.
Back to the 8800GT- I'm just worried that it won't clear or it will end up in a bind on those capacitors. My board had a SATA port blocking it, so I had to move my SATA cable to the #2 port.

i didnt know what they are, and no they wont interfere i put my hand there on the slot where the card would be and my hand rests about 2 inches off the motherboard from the pci slot i just have to move some cords around that are flexible, but not remove them.

Most card manufacturers such as XFX, eVGA, and BFG includes converters. Unless you're buying from other not as popular manufacturers just to save a couple of dollars, I wouldn't recommend it.
