« on: November 06, 2010, 12:26:05 pm »
Hi! my motherboard is GA EP45-UD3LR REV1.0 my old graph card is ati hd4670 512mb.New graph card is(i think)Gigabyte or Gainward GTX460 1gb.
My question is:Can i install gtx460 to my motherboard? i ask this because those cards takes lot of room.and that intel chipset heatsink is quite high,
(15mm or so..)See picture gigabyte-thank you  :o

Hi and welcome to the Gigabyte Forum.

I have checked all the pictures I can find from different angles and It looks to me as if it wouldn't be a problem. I am sure that Gigabyte must have taken this into account when designing the board. You can see some quite clear pictures here:
