Hi

 

Can you post a picture of the inside of your PC?

 

That sound card should be pretty easy to fit.

Hi

what is the exact model of your motherboard.

are you def plugging it into the pci slot and not attempting to plug into the pci express slot.

when plugging in the pci card are you making sure any case mounting are removed...(some cases have a cover that you lift of before inserting agp/pci/pci e devices.)

also are you making sure the card is not touching the case and causing it to not look like it fits.

regards

Looking at the motherboard in its unpopulated state, I think maybe you could be right about the GFX cards, but a photo of the motherboard as it now is would be a big help.

So if it's possible could you post us a picture of your motherboard, complete with all existing cards still fitted, so we can see what may be in the way.

I actually do think those big Geforce Cards are covering up the white pci slots, which may be hidden under, if i am right to say this. could anyone please give me step by step instruction how to take out the gfx card, because as you can see there are to, i have tried to take them out, took out the side screws, but it seems to be jammed in.. are there any other screws id need to take out?

Hi

 

Yes, they are covering the PCI slots.

 

There is one screw holding the graphics card at the top, you'll also need to take off the SLI bridge linking the two cards, and if you look at the motherboard picture there is a white clip at the bottom, you will also need to take the power cord out the back.

Thank God i can still fit this new sound card, i was gettin so impatient i even thought about the return policy.

 

Ok.. so il follow those steps.. il take One gfx card out, i dont play games on my pc anyway, i make music, so graphics isnt a big deal to me, aslong as theres no lag, its fine.
