sunnyeagle Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 I have been looking at the new 8800GTS (G92) and I was wondering if anyone that has the same board as I do, has one installed. I have read a few of the problems with the SATA cables, but that was with the 8800GT. I am only using the bottom SATA plugs. Will it still fit??? If I had to move it to the bottom slot, I think it would block my USB plugs. So does anyone have this board and have one installed?

sunnyeagle Posted January 24, 2008 Posted January 24, 2008 maybe I'm asking to much.... Does anyone have the double thick cards install on these boards?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindflux Posted January 24, 2008 Posted January 24, 2008 I haven't used those cards but the nf4 boards (if not new) are high-end, they should have plenty of space for whatever you want to put in there. Worst case scenario you can you the second pcie x16 slot. If you're really that worried about it, easiest thing to do is get the card measurements and then look in your case.

uneedav8 Posted January 24, 2008 Posted January 24, 2008 It should fit, I have used the 8800GTX on my SLI-D and Expert with all 4 SATA ports plugged in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnyeagle Posted January 24, 2008 Posted January 24, 2008 It should fit, I have used the 8800GTX on my SLI-D and Expert with all 4 SATA ports plugged in. Looks like the SLI-D is about the same as ultra D, but the expert slot is not in the same location. It (expert) has more room. I already check that one out when I was reading about other ones who had that board and same card. That is why I was looking for someone who has Ultra-D. I have the measurements now and I going to check it out. I have the measurements at 4.376 x 9 inch long, can not find out how thick. What is it at the card??

diff_lock Posted January 24, 2008 Posted January 24, 2008 I have a ultra d. And a dual slot 8800gt. In the top slot it blocks all 4 sata ports, and at the bottom it pushes on the stock chipset heatsink bezel. I removed the bezel and it was better. Also it blocks the external usb plugs, AND you will only have one pci port for a sound card or something, and it will me 2 mm away from the g card. My sound card is REAL close, but cooling performance seems oK. Pics would help of the card mounted in both positions, but i can only show you my current config.

sunnyeagle Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 I have seen that card that has a super cooler on it. I'm looking for the newer 8800 GTS (92) and I think is little bit smaller on the end toward SATA. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
uneedav8 Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 If all else fails, get sata cables with 90 degree ends. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
diff_lock Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 I don't thing it will fit even with 90deg connectors. That was the first thing I thought when I mounted the card. But its way too close. I could extend the port my soldering cable, but the day i run SLI is the day I afford a 30". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
uneedav8 Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 If the 90 degree bends don't fit and you are not ready for a new build ....just get rid of the stock 8800 cooler and go for a third party cooling solution or a water block. I would not want to decrease performance by using a slower chipset for RAID or getting a smaller video card. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindflux Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 the g92s are an inch shorter I think, go to evga and you can find the measurements Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnyeagle Posted January 26, 2008 Posted January 26, 2008 I have the measurements at 4.376 inches high x 9 inches long, can not find out how thick. That is the measurement off eVGA web site. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
