First and foremost, why a 8800 GTS? Seems that a single-slot 8800GT from the same manufacturer would have been a much more appropriate choice. At this performance level, you're seriously CPU-bound anyways, so the minimal performance increase is a moot point...

Regardless, best of luck with your mutilated graphics card...

The 8800GTS is a dual slot card because it was based off of the bigger hotter running (G80) core.. The 8800GT generates much les heat because of the latest and greated second Generation Direct X 10 (G92) Core thus making way less heat.

Just make sure the stock heatsink is on if you ever have to send it for repairs VIA RMA!

I express again, read post #30

. You might also want to invest in something similar to a Zalman VF900 for the video card...just in case your heatsink is screwed up on it as well.

If you have any questions about anything, or are unsure

ASK US HERE BEFORE YOU DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS AGAIN, lol. It will save you the hassle of re-doing it again later
