[SOLVED] A 1660 Super can fit in a B85M-DS3H-A?

Hi, this is a odd question to ask, because the motherboard has PCIE 3.0, but... A graphics card will fit and conected correctly in this motherboard?
Because the place where is the ram is so close to the PICE so I don't know for sue it will fit correclty (asking because I am upgrading my old pc)

It will fit.
It cant be made and put on the shelves without it being compatible with a pcie slot.
Dont worry about ram interference,i was the same 'problem'.
Just make sure u dont press the ram 'levers' (i dont know the proper term) when putting the GPU in the slot,i used to do that then wonder why my gpu isnt going in.
U got a psu for it?

Yes, I got a ThermalTake Lite 550w. So the ram clips aren't going to be a problem for the gpu size?

Ram clips,ur a genius xD.
No they shouldnt.
A GPU cant have a height higher than the pcie slot,especially for those ram clips reasons.
Just be careful no to break the ram clips,as i almost did the first thing i messed with my gpu.

 

[Dj0gany]

The psu should be enough.

Ouch. You "sort of" have a PSU. It's a low-quality PSU of ancient design; a mediocre-at-best group-regulated PSU with cutrate parts is not something to pair with any GPU that requires supplementary power and cost significant amounts of money.

 

[DSzymborski]

Sorry, Djoza, but that PSU is awful. 450W of +12V power in a 550W. There are posters here younger than that design. Possibly the capacitors too...

I wont argue with you since i know you know everything 100X better than me,but wouldnt it be enough atleast until he gets a new psu?

It's below the quality level I would even do that. Litepowers are at the very bottom of Thermaltake's product stack, which isn't an impressive one to begin with. This is sub-Smart.

Okay thank you.I will keep that in mind.

Ok, but the gpu will fit in that motherboard? because the ram clips look to close to the pcie express

Yes the GPU will 100% fit,but your powersupply seems to be a problem.

It ought to. Almost the entirety of the card goes below the PCIE connector.

I'm actually more worried about that heat sink below.

Are you worried for the interference between the GPU and the heatsink,or are you worried about the cooling of the heatsink.
Im sure nobody in their right mind would make a motherboard that has interference on its essential parts.

The heatsink of the chipset is actually small

My mobo has a similar design to yours and yes the heatsink is infact small and causes no interference problems.

I've seen a lot of motherboards designed by people not in their right mind!

I came across a compaq once that had a PCIE slot, but a giant heatsink that precluded almost every GPU.

That's good. It's hard to tell from the picture.
