eVGA NVidia GeForce 8800 Installation


My installation...

My GeForce 8800 didn't fit into my midi tower case. I had to remove the mainboard from the case to install the card. I guess I have to buy a new tower soon ;-)

 

 

Another issue worth mentioning is: you really need TWO PCI express power connectors. My box with the graphics card had no cables included! Without a Y-Adapter for the PCI-Express power connector, I had to add two different power supplies.

 

To power up the 2nd power supply, I had to shortcut the green power-on coord (active high) with the ground. Oh well, atleast I can start trying this new graphics card! It seems really fast :-) Oh and btw, I don't recommend doing this, you could kill your graphics card this way, mine is still running though!
