Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 Gaming in NZXT Tempest EVO

[karan77]

I have a NZXT Tempest EVO case.. i just want to know if the new Gigabyte Geforce GTX 970 G1 Gaming Edition Graphic Card would fit in my case.. also i have Cooler Master 600W SMPS.. will i have a 4pin to 8 pin power connector in my smps? plz reply asap THANK YOU

Yes, it should fit no problem. That card is only 312mm and that case is supposed to accommodate up to a 340mm if not larger.

I couldn't find a card length just that it's "huge and supports large video cards"; however you can measure it yourself.

"4-pin to 8-pin"?

I'm not sure what you mean, but don't you have an 8-pin (or 6+2-pin) for the graphics card?

Just look at the cables on your power supply.

the gigabyte g1 card needs 1 6pin & 1 8 pin power connector.. i have only two 6pin connectors for my smps..what shoud i do

Get a different PSU. Any PSU that does not have an 8 pin or a 6+2 pin is probably not a high quality unit to start with, nor of sufficient capacity, and should probably not be used with a high end card like that. What is the brand and model of your current PSU?

It's no longer listed on the PSU Tier list, but I believe it was a Tier 4 or Tier 5 unit when it was. It's listed as a "Lemon" on the Johnylucky lemon list here:

I'd replace it with at Tier 2B or higher listed model of 600w or more here:

It can however be run on 550w, if the unit is a top tiered model.
