    Hi guys,

    I have bought a ASUS GTX660 TI-DC2-2GD5 for my Aurora R3. Yet i am worried that it wont actually fit on the motherboard. At the moment I have 2 GTX 460 in SLI, the dimensions of the 460 are; Length 8.25 inch, Height 4.376 inch. And I have also upgraded the PSU to a 750 W, so there should be no worry there. The card I am upgrading to is Length 10.7 inch, Height 5.4 inch. Will it fit? I would hate to have to send it back at Xmas.

    Thanks

    You will get better answers if you ask in the desktop section, not the laptop one.

    The GTX 660 fits perfectly according to our records, you should have no problem with it.
