Alright mods lock it down, only because nobody can tell me if it will fit or not, which is why I made the thread.
More importantly, what is your PSU [b]model[/b]? Also, rest of your specs please.
i just need to know if it will fit, i know it will work i just need the size f the thing [editline]13th October 2010[/editline] 2.9 amd athlon duel core, 4 gigs ddr2, motherboard i linked... [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119161[/url] [editline]13th October 2010[/editline] will it >FIT<
I just need to know if your PSU won't crap out damn it. By the way, your CPU will bottleneck this card.
It's cooler master thats all I know, its not for me its for my uncle. 500w
I just measured mine, it's approximately 260mm, or 10".

Hah. 5850 for your uncle? Anyway, I don't think it would run on that PSU.
It probably wont, the damn thing is bigger than a mATX board.
no the 5850 won't even run on your PSU
Alright quick update, I found the old card he was using, which he gave to me. [url]http://www.google.com/products/catalog?hl=en&expIds=17259,17311,17315,23628,23670,25755,25834,25854,25981,26209,26218,26328,26339,26637,26746,26761,26766,26788,26849,27047&sugexp=ldymls&xhr=t&q=powercolor+hd+4870&cp=15&um=1&ie=UTF-8&cid=6759515802547721711&ei=vFO3TKyuMduW4gbt_fW9CQ&sa=X&oi=product_catalog_result&ct=result&resnum=4&sqi=2&ved=0CCoQ8wIwAw&os=tech-specs[/url] Which is a pretty good card still. He should get the 1GB IMO? Anyways yeah the 4870 is a fat long mother fucker, but not sure exactly how big it is compared to the gigabyte. Maybe you guys could suggest a different card for him that suits his PSU better, he's planning on a quad core processor soon, not sure what he's doing with the power.
[QUOTE=Odellus;25396399]no the 5850 won't even run on your PSU[/QUOTE] See it's nice to know who rates who. We know that ADT said disagree, but then we already know ADT doesn't know anything about power supplies.
UPDATE: This is asreles uncle ;/ I used to use FP but don't anymore so he's my bitch when it comes to questions. Guys I've decided to get a new power supply. [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139019[/url] Now I can get a card without having to worry about my psu not holding it up. I was thinking about [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102878[/url] or [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc..._-na-_-na-_-na[/url] Thoughts? Still not sure if either will fit in my case but My old card was 9 inches long and pretty thick. Ran no problem and it had a smidge of breathing room. I'll upgrade my CPU to [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103885&cm_re=amd_athlon_quad-_-19-103-885-_-Product[/url] on my next paycheck. Oh and the 4870 is still a pretty good card yeah, but I really don't want the same card as my faggot nephew. Especially not after I gave him mine. Might just spend the cash to upgrade my MOBO and cross fire w/e card. Thoughts?
[url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817171052]better power supply[/url] [url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130562]5830 sucks[/url], your second link doesn't work and that quad core is garbage
Ideas on a better one for not that much more? (For both items.) Also thanks a ton for the PSU I totally missed on that.
and how old are you that you talk to and about your nephew like that? [editline]14th October 2010[/editline] click better power supply and 5830 sucks, they are hyperlinks.

Haha. I know one of my friends who has an uncle that is the same age as him (16). Back on topic, what is your motherboard?

I don't really care if it'll run 100% Just better then the onboard 4200.
If you are upgrading your CPU you might need to upgrade the motherboard.
[QUOTE=Falubii;25393182]I just measured mine, it's approximately 260mm, or 10".[/QUOTE] I'm gonna assume you have the card I want to get, if that's the case, thanks.
