VaporX Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 SeaSonic X Series,..X-850 full modular is a vary solid power supply. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151102 Great power supply but way to big for an ITX build. You want something around 140mm depth if you can. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pteroduck Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 Ah ok got it. 140mm depth.Can someone help me picking the 7990? Whats the difference between these models? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202036 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814131483 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127735 anything besides the base clock? its 6GBs of VRAM so it should suffice for 1440p right?

l1il Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 I do not like to send TOM'S links all over the place, but THIS CASE seems nice also. It is not available but they are saying that it is a low-priced mATX - iTX capable box. It can mounts radiators up to 240mmat the top and it should be available all around in some days. I like how the motherboard is mounted differently Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are two GPUs on the single PCB each with 3GB(3+3=6), better to think of dual gpu video cards as two separate cards only using one PCIE mobo lane thingy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

VaporX Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 The biggest issue you are likely to face is limitations of the case. A prodigy and most mITX cases only accept a dual slot video card. The Asus 7990 you listed will not work as it is triple slot. Also many 7970 high clocked cards are 2.5" slot or even 2.25 slot. These result in the fan housing touching the side of the case and thus increasing the noise when the fans ramp up. The 7990 from Sapphire is only a fraction bigger than the 7950 Dual X which fits the Prodigy and the Node just fine. However it would be close. Remember I am talking about card DEPTH not length. Reviews all focus on the length and never take into account the depth of the card. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
