    GTX 980 ti into an HP Z820

    Yes, I have the 1125w power supply. I am not comfortable making/cutting a cable. Amazon has one for $7 US (I'm in Florida)... how can I be sure of the pin configurations?? Directions say: Connect one 6-pin and one 8-pin PCI Express auxiliary power connectors to the top edge of the GeForce GTX...

I have only two (visible) 6-pin cables, used previously for my dual Quadro 4000s. There's an adapter...

    GTX 980 ti into an HP Z820

    I am trying to install a GTX 980 ti in my Z820, and cannot see how it will fit. I removed the additional slot cover, but there is still a small metal strip across the two empty slots. Won't that get in the way? Can that be removed? My system specs: HP Z820, Windows 7 Pro 64 bit, Dual...
