hey everyone i just bought a motherboar and a nvidia 7600pcie but my motherboard has 6 expansion slots including a pcie and my pc case can only support 4 expansion slots. could i do anything to access the pcie slot or do i have to buy a new pc case

 

[mugan23]

i think u have to get a new case. But before u do can u be clear about what u mean by access the pcie slot,is it hiden or will the card just not fit?

 

[whe3ls]

dose the board fit in the case ?

 

[startekee]

the expansion slot is hidden.

 

[startekee]

help please

 

[mugan23]

if it will not fit don't force it if u can cut the case then do it or u can just run it without a case for the time till u get a new tower. ( u kno a pic would help a lil i might kno what ur tring to tell me)

agreed

i dont have a camera so am going to try to explain more. my case has 4 expansion slots max. my motherboard has 7 expasion slots max. the pcie slot has no space to fit through the case. so its left unoccupied. when i install the gpu it fits but its not visible because there is no hole in the case.

try to imagine it

 

[mugan23]

is there a tab u can remove from the back of the case

 

[whe3ls]

i c what your saying you are prolly going to have to get a new case you could run with out a case till ur able to get a new one

 

[startekee]

will anything happen to my pc components. by thee way there are no tabs

 

[mugan23]

i think thats the best idea get a nice box and just drop it all in there

 

[whe3ls]

i haven't had any thing happen to mine when i had mine case less. i just put it next to my monitor on my desk

 

[mugan23]

no not unless u keep touching them lol

 

[mugan23]

this was my pc before i finished my case
