Wanna install firewire to my motherboard

[mike070.-]

So my dad is missing firewire ports on his motherboard
this is the motherboard. And it has a normal PCI slot. The pciex x16 port is already in use cuz of the gpu. Can someone please do some research on the motherboard it's this one Gigabyte GA-B75M-D3V will this firewire card fit? https://www.kabeldirect.nl/firewire-pci-2x-ieee1394-full-profile-express-kaart.html

The left most (furthest from the CPU) slot should work with that card on that motherboard.

I don't see why not. You also have two PCIe 1x slots. Unless that is a massive GPU at least one should be available.

Are you guys sure? My dad ordered this one https://www.allekabels.nl/pci-express-kaart/5852/1684492/pci-kaart-3x-firewire-400.html
and it didnt fit the large white pci slot :S

The large white standard pci slot you mean? not the small ones right?

Should have. Though their labeling of that particularly card is a bit misleading. They seem to have mixed of PCI and PCIe, but the picture clearly shows PCI.

You may also need to enable that PCI slot specifically. Been a while since I dealt with a board that had one.

If you go ahead and get a PCIe 1x firewire card, that will almost certainly work. Probably cheaper too.

Ye the one that we already bought is to small for the standard PCI slot I wonder why :S
But this one should fit right? https://www.kabeldirect.nl/firewire-pci-2x-ieee1394-full-profile-express-kaart.html
But it says in the link that its a PCI 2x-IE pfff this is so difficult xD
I just want one in the large white one cuz the 2 small white slots 2 x PCIe 2.0 x1 are covered by the GPU. its a large GPU XD

That is also a picture of a PCI card.

If it has a very very small connector then it is a PCIe connector and goes in the one of the small slots. However, if it is indeed a PCIe 2x card, then it will need an open ended PCIe 1x slot to operate at 1x or be placed in a 4x slot (which you don't have)

The PCI card might have less chance of working due to older drivers not supporting Windows 10 (Or 7 or 8.1) but PCIe drivers should be easy to come by.

I'm afraid I'm not to familiar with your country to say who would be reliable to buy from. Been a long while since I've had a firewire device, and even then it was audio equipment. Pretty much used eSATA and USB for storage back in the day.
