Will it fit?

[Euler98gr]

Hey guys,

I am planning buying a G1 Sniper M5 mATX motherboard ,Gtx780ti and Bitfenix prodigyM. Will i be able to fit a second 780ti in the future so that i can decide what PSU to choose?

Thanks in advance

SLI in a Prodigy? Never seen it done before. If it did fit it would certainly be a tight squeeze and the GPUs would be sure to overheat, I would opt for a bigger case if you plan to SLI.

It should all fit. As far as the motherboard goes yes it will (Just make sure its the TOP PCIe slot and the BOTTOM PCIe slot. The middle one is only 4x not 8x like the bottom one.

As for the case. Don't expect to put in a DVD drive and a second video card. Also after looking at that motherboard and the case that will not work since you have to put the video card in the most bottom PCIe slot for it to get 8x PCIe it won't work because there will be no room. You could put it in the 4x slot but there would be no point in really getting a second video card with that. if you stick to just one video card then everything will be great.

Also second video card would mean that the top fans would have to be removed from looking around at pics.

If you really want Dual Video card you will a motherboard like these.

Those are the next best things I could find in the mATX format for 1150

Yeah, it'll fit. It'll be tight, but it will fit. Something like this would be good:

Thank you for your reply i think i'll just get a 650w then

Don't choose his answer as best answer, as it's wrong. A pair of 780 Tis will fit just fine in the Prodigy M, as it has the 5 expansion slots needed.

As i confirmed, with this motherboard i 'll be unable to do so beacuse of the middle 4x PCIe slot

 

[HiTechObsessed]

What does the middle PCIe slot have to do with anything?

 

[drtweak]

Ah well it does seem as if i was looking at the wrong Prodogy box as they look identical except for the fact the one you want has 5 slots as HiTechObsessed had said. But again having the Top fans in there plug a DVD rom drive with Dual Video cards doesn't sound likely just because of how the PCIe slots are placed. Yes with the G1 sniper you get more spaced between the video cards allowing them to stay cool but in that case you have to sacrafice other things to acheive that.

 

[HiTechObsessed]

Right, which is why I said choosing that first answer is wrong if someone with the same question stumbles on to this thread. The answer to 'Will it fit?' is yes, with some sacrifices. I just want others to know you can do it, without case mods, even though it may not be ideal.

 

[drtweak]

Yea I agree that case isn't really the best for SLI/Crossfire thats for sure haha but it is do-able but with this motherboard is def less ideal.

Thank you! It seems you are right though i may change the case and pick aerocool ds cube

You can also try to look at the Silverstone Sugo SG09 or SG10 if you want to have the option to SLI in the future.

Here you can find some pictures with builds that were SLI`ed in this case:

I think SLI-ing with the ds cube is possible,isn't it?

 

[HiTechObsessed]

You can definitely SLI in that case, but you'll need a different motherboard than the Sniper you were talking about earlier. NVIDIA doesn't support SLI through an x4 slot, and that case only has 4 expansion ports.

What about maximus vi gene?

 

[HiTechObsessed]

That one will do you fine, but it's overpriced in my opinion. It's a great board, don't get me wrong, but something like this would do SLI and overclocking just fine: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CU4L4XG/?tag=pcpapi-20

You're right but i'd like to do a bit of oc too.I hear that ASUS' BIOS has amazing oc capabilities and is better detter designed

 

[HiTechObsessed]

Yeah, but unless you're doing a full custom loop, whatever you can push the CPU to will be doable on either. Like I said, that was my opinion, so do with it as you please lol

Anyway,thanks for your reply and all of your advice
