Hi all,
This is my first post and and I need help to determine if a graphic card should be used with my motherboard.
I have an ASRock Z77 Pro4-m motherboard and the graphic cards that I have been looking at are the Nvidia GTX 660 or 760, however, the gaming cards of both are quite long i.e. over 20cm long.
Looking at where the cards would sit in the PCIE slot of my mother board (Slot 1) a card over 20cm long will interfere with the ram slots as well as cover the heatsink on the chipset as well as a few capictors close to it.
My question is - would this be a problem?
As it looks at the moment, I cannot fit a card greater in length than 17cm, which pretty much rules out all of the decent gaming type cards (I currently have an Nvidia GT64 which is not good enough).
Any ideas / suggestions greatly accepted.
Many thanks
Tim
