upgrading my gpu

[deepblue_82]

going to buy a rx5700xt this weekend Sapphire Pulse Radeon RX 5700 XT

but i read that its a 2.3 slot size card





this is my current rx 570
i read on the internet its a dual slot card

guys please help would u know if it would fit?

RX 6600 XT is shorter (mostly) and faster

*most 5700 XT is longer

You still have 4 empty PCI covers, yes it will fit.

Unless the card is too long for your case.

then how about the connecters and headers?
wont a fatter card hit them?

Ah, the connectors look quite tight in your current situation.
Getting a thicker one is not advisable

how to do think i can fix this? change connectors or change mb?
the incoming card to a Sapphire Pulse Radeon RX 5700 XT
its a 2 fan model so the length should not be a problem...
its about the thickness...

Easy way, change mb to an atx one. But it will cost you more.

Hard way, find a way to connect those mb headers with the thicker card

I'd say not possible. Front panel connectors should be fine given the space between the card and mb.

It's the other connector which I'm worried about. Either do away with that connector or find a right angle one and hope there's enough space

the long black one

the long black one

looks to be a tpm connector...

looks like most b450m/b550m boards have very little space between the pcie slot and the connecting wires. Think there is not much you can do about that. If you take a look at the layout of a b650m board, there's a lot more space for a larger gpu now. Maybe have to go for a smaller gpu like a twin fan 6600xt? or a 4060 slim of some sort.

it's the USB3 header

try getting a right angle adaptor for it

something like this > https://shopee.sg/QUU-USB-3-0-Conne...66?xptdk=65826ea3-bda3-47f3-a9a6-9fd8a3ca5dab

got it fixed up....... in the end the size was able to fit in.
the thickness was ok.
just that the length the end of it was blocking a stata port...
removed it, it was for my cdrom...
now all good...
thanks for all the replies

CS2 got improved fps or stay the same? And what CPU and RAM are you using

Kindly check up how many frames per second a human eyes can see before wasting money >
https://caseguard.com/articles/how-...xperts have a tough,than 60 frames per second.
30 to 60 fps are already consider fast when viewing and playing on my computer.
