Windows 10: Is this vcard compatible w/ my mobo? (newbie)

just this chp one.

 

There is a tongue on the end of the connector bus bar of the graphics card that you have to fit under the retaining bar of the blue socket on the motherboard. It takes a bit of juggling to angle it in before you can push the connection all the way down.

 

That's a generic power supply. You'll need to buy a good power supply for that graphics card.

 

Blurry, but I make out that it's an LC-8600BTX. Nominal 600W. (Two +12V outputs, each rated at 25A. Could be worse.)

As far as I can find online, it only has a single 6 pin PCI-E power connector. You need an additional 8 pin one. (A 6+2 pin can be used as either a*6 pin or an 8 pin.) I get the impression that it's a generic PSU, probably not of*high quality.

A quick check at*Newegg finds:

EVGA 100-N1-0750-L1 750W ATX12V / EPS12V Power Supply - Newegg.com

It's a 750W PSU from eVGA. $60US + $7 S&H. That's a pretty good price for a PSU with its specs, from a reputable maker. It's not much larger than the "TrendSonic" one, so I hope that it'd fit your case.

 

Thank you for the help!

 

It's a double slot width Card. It looks like it might foul the blue heat sink and possibly the capacitors at the side and behind the slot. Also maybe the RAM module retaining clips the other side.

 

Unlikely.

I think that the heat sink and caps are no taller than the capacitors alongside the slot. If it interfered with the RAM locking clips, a single slot card (of the same length) would as well. The first PCI-E X1 slot will be blocked, but that's common.

Some of the later P8H61-M LE variants would have interferences with a couple of the SATA ports, but not this one.

I doubt that I'd ever try to stick a 300W graphics card into a micro ATX board, but I'd guess this one will fit. Perhaps the OP can verify, although it sounds like he/she/it has already had trouble seating the card.
