GA M68M-s2p 1.0 Motherboard question.

GA M68M-s2p 1.0 Motherboard question.
« on: October 08, 2011, 03:33:46 am »
I have the GA M68M-s20 1.0 Motherboard and i am looking to upgrade my graphics(finally). While looking at the MB, I noticed that the RAM clips are awfully close to the PcIE slot, and the nVidia heat sink is a bit raised. Will I be able to fit a Sapphire HD Radeon 6950 GPU on this MB? ???

Hi and welcome to the Gigabyte Forum.

There shouldn't be any trouble with that or any other graphics card fitting your board. The only thing I can see is that you might need to instal the memory modules before fitting the graphics card, that and you will lose your PCIE x1 slot at the same time.

Hey, thanks! :D What are memory modules? Sorry, I'm just starting the custom PC world.

Sorry to be technical. ;)  Other people ask "what is RAM ?"  You just can't win!
