i didnt understand your problem but your gtx950 should fit it uses 16x PCie slot like the gt720 so you should have no  problem ( a pic would help)

 

Apologies, I just realized I had no idea what I was talking about. I saw a little nub, and though it was a piece of another PCIe lane that I didn't have and then saw your reply, and then tried to put the GPU in once more, at which point I realized it works. -_- Sorry again.

Okay, I'm sorry to bother you all, but I just purchased a GTX 950 to replace my GT 720, and for some weird-ass reason, it won't fit! I have one 16x PCIe slot, but the 950 needs an expansion slot. Will it work w/o them? Is there some way to add the expansion slots? Do I need an adapter of some sort? Linus said in the Techquickie episode on PCIe 3.0 that I could use it w/o all of the PCIe slots plugged in, but that it would limit the bandwidth, but he never said anything about expansion slots.

 

Thanks in advance,

You mean it's too wide for your case? Ultra SFF cases can require a low profile GPU, like this one. Currently, the GTX 750 Ti is the best low-profile GPU available.

Aerocool DS are the best fans you've never tried.

Hey, now I plugged in the 950, attempted to power on the computer, and the computer works, but the GPU isn't turning on! :( 

By that I mean the fan isn't moving or anything, and the whole thing isn't working! :o 

HEEELP!!!! D:
