Will my gtx 1070ti be compatible with this motherboard?

[MilkWookie]

So I currently have a gtx 1060: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B01KUADE3O/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. Now I feel like its about time to upgrade and I have decided on getting this gtx 1070ti: https://www.amazon.ca/MSI-GTX-1070-TI-8G/dp/B076Q6GYKY/ref=sr_1_21?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1540248166&sr=1-21&keywords=graphics+card.
My only concern is that i dont know if my motherboard will be able to support it as its a micro atx and i was hoping someone who knows there stuff could help me out. Thanks!

Yes, it is compatible. Whether or not it fits inside your case, with no interference from drive cages or the side panel, or CPU cooler, that you'll have to determine based on the specs on the product page for your case model. Generally speaking though, unless it's a mini-ITX build, you should be fine unless it's an extremely long, triple fan card.

Any motherboard with a PCI Express x 16 slot (and that is virtually all ATX based motherboards) is compatible with any GPU. There are space limitations and limitations on the power supply.

 

[Darkbreeze]

Yes, the power supply is a serious consideration. Knowing that is necessary.

In the past, there were graphics cards that were based on a different expansion slot. But those (as far as I know) aren't in production any longer.

Case interference and OCCASIONALLY interference with the motherboard components like southbridge or SATA headers, which I've SEEN on some more recent boards that WERE PCI 3.0 boards, with long cards, are the only factors I'd be worried about and board component interference is usually only seen on fairly low end boards. And not often, at that. Mostly case problems.

Apparently APG graphics cards are still around for old motherboards.

But don't let that confuse you, these cards aren't going to be current. And they won't fit a modern motherboard.

this is my power supply. https://www.corsair.com/ca/en/Power/cx-series-config/p/CP-9020122-NA

Generally the PC case will specify the supported length of graphics cards. Just do a search for the specific PC case and look under Specifications menu item.


Both the GTX 1070 & GTX 1070Ti require 500 watts and a single 8-pin PCIE power cable. The CX-650 will handle that.

 

[Darkbreeze]

Yes, that CX650 will be fine for however long it lasts.

What is your case model?

Yea, I'm not a fan of Corsair CX power supplies either.

Im not sure if you are still on this thread but this is my current case: https://www.amazon.ca/Cooler-Master-RC-431P-KWN2-Elite-Plus/dp/B005ZCTJ9Q/ref=sr_1_28?ie=UTF8&qid=1540789443&sr=8-28&keywords=cooler+master+case.

If it doesn't fit im probably going to upgrade the case and transfer everything inside my current case to this new one.

Case I want to buy: https://www.amazon.ca/Corsair-Carbide-SPEC-02-Gaming-CC-9011051-WW/dp/B00I0MKMG2/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1540789754&sr=8-6&keywords=gaming+computer+case#customerReviews

That case will fit that graphics card. The Elite supports cards up to 315mm and the card you are looking at is only 279mm. Plenty of room.

Thank you so much

For sure.
