GTX 460 super OC size?
« on: January 28, 2011, 07:32:09 pm »
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  :D

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.
