    Can I fit a graphic card in this computer
    « on: February 16, 2019, 12:12:38 PM »
    I have this tower https://imgur.com/pOvmjnx that is with the power supply and the dvd drive up. I am looking to get a graphic card could I fit one in there or am I better off just leaving it like it is and dealing with the issues I am having. I am npot asking what card to buy. I already know I will need one for a small form computer

    Hi

    Looks like a HP slimline so yes you can fit a 1/2 height pcie video card, Which doesn't require PCIe power. and should be a short card. Do you have the clear plastic air tunnel between the front case fan and the cpu heatsink ? I think that model had one and if it is missing the CPU will run hot.

      Looks like my old HP DC 5800. Next time, try and list what PC it is, so more information can be gathered. Im assuming this is the PC based off my own experiences. In which case, I have a Small form factor Nvidia 310 GT inside mine with HDMI on it. Works great.
