GTX 460 super OC size?

[Craig]

Hi
I want to buy a Gigabyte GTX 460 Super OverClock Edition 1GB which is called GV-N460SO-1GI on your website
but I'm concerned about the size of it, my motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-MA785GM-US2H and I've got plenty of space under the PCI-e x16 slot for the 2x width of the card but its the length im worried about
if the card is 24cm like I've read it will cover the SATA ports (which are unused and probably will remain unused) and get in the way of a couple of front panel wires but I can move them out the way. My case is a normal emachines 36cm top to bottom x 39 cm front to back x 17 side to side.

I was just wondering if the card will fit with my motherboard?

right now ive got a sapphire 1650x pro and that fits fine  but want to upgrade quite badly :S I want to use the card for its CUDA processing because I use a lot of AVC files =D

I've got a 550w Fatal1ty power supply which I hope will run the card fine =D

basicly I'm asking if the card will fit on my motherboard

thanks a lot for reading and any responses =D


Don't know if this matters but better safe than sorry:
amd athlon ii x4 630 processor
freezer 7 rev 2 cooler
1 7200rpm hdd
dvd rw
2gb of ddr2 800 ram (which will be 4gb soon)
windows vista home premium 32 bit
Gigabyte GA-MA785GM-US2H   motherboard

processor temp 43c
mainboard temp 46c
power supply temp  47c

Thanks Loads =D

Hi and welcome to the Gigabyte Forum.

I wouldn't think that there would be any problem with this graphics card fitting your motherboard as long as you have the required PCIE slot for it. It is usually a question of whether there is room for it in your  case.

Awesome
Ive checked with a ruler and theres about 24-30cm of space in my case where the pci-e slot is
I was only worried because its a micro atx motherboard

Can you confirm the card is 24 cm in length and the card will go over the sata ports?


thanks alot for your help

I am afraid I only have the sizes for the 460 OC which is near enough identical and they are:

GV-N460OC-1GI:  H=43, L=238 , W=130 mm

All cards go over the SATA ports but as long as you don't want to use them it is not a problem.

Thanks A lot =D you've been a huge help and really fast

Ill be buying the card this weekend hopefully
