2080ti help!

[Msuni]

Cringe warning!

 

I just bought a 2080ti and I am having issues installing it. It doesnt fit basically! 

On the image below the red cable is in the way. Is there anything that I can do to make it fit?

There are SATA cables with plugs like this:

And you appear to have more SATA ports right next to that rubber grommet, so you could move the cables there where they're not in the way.

That's what I done just after posting this haha. 

I wasnt sure if they had to go into the sata 1 and 2. 

Thanks for the reply.

If you only have 1 GPU, you should put it in the top metal slot.

not necessary, unless you're dealing with something that strictly needs an order, in which it's waaaaay out and above the scope of this thread ._.

check your boot order in BIOS if you do move them though

Ok thanks for the information, I installed the new GPU booted up my PC and he new drives show up. My boot drive is an M.2 SSD so that wasnt effected. 

 

I have now ran into another problem :/ i was gonna make another post about it but i may as well post it here. I have 3 monitors one using a display port the other 2 using HDMI, the two HDMI ones dont get detected only the display port one. Any reason as to why this could be? Appreciate it :)

it's better if you make a new thread in GPUs, but try booting with only the HDMI displays connected? o_o

if both works then plug the displaport monitor back in while windows is running. otherwise if it doesn't work I'd point to cable issues

 

but yeah a new thread would be better to get help

Righty ho, thanks very much for the help - really appreciate it.

Just saying looks like you have sata ports right beneath it that's sticking out to the side instead

Consult your MOBO manual but I'm pretty sure your GPU should be in PCI_E1.

It is i just move the SATA cables for the HDDs to the other ports on teh side instead.
