the motherboard has no problems, even a huge card like a top tier strix would fit... but i would look into the case, that can limit things

Posted

I just bought a RX 580 without measuring if it fits on my motherboard, I just assumed that I could get a pcie riser/extender. But looking at pcpartpicker the mobo and the gpu seem to be compatible with no issues, So can I trust 100% pc part picker blindly and dont get the pcie extender? I'm asking because i'm living in the united states for three months right now so all these parts are a lot cheaper and I will install my gpu once I get back to my home country.(this GPU looks HUGE, i'm upgrading from a zotac gtx 1050 ti)

 

Here is the link with the mobo and gpu models

Graphics cards will never need an adapter or anything to fit into a PCIe slot.

 

The reason its big is because of the cooler

I meant that I would get the extension to in some sketchy way accommodate the gpu inside the case if something like the ram or cooler was interfering. sorry if it dont express myself clearly this is not my native language

Neither ram or cooler will get in the way of a PCIe slot, unless you install the cooler wrong

its the biggest gpu that I have ever touched  ?

That's always a cool experience

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad
