It is from 2008 though I ordered an extra data cable anyway though But people have upgraded their 540's before and they got on alright. http://en.community.dell.com/cfs-fi...iles-3515/4682.3_5F00_edit.jpg_2D00_550x0.jpg That person put in a 5850, and I'm putting in a MSI reference 6870. Only thing I'm worried about is the size of the power supply. But I hope it'll work out :3
Bit late... I did get good reviews though. I don't really mind as long as it works I think the thermaltake is a bit bigger than the corsair but I'd hope it would still fit. EDIT: Yeah, my psu is a bit longer but that doesn't really matter.
Your not alone on the 24 pins they sometimes require an absurd amount of force they should really come up with a better design for them
+1 on the 24 pins. But they are tough little buggers to get out for a reason, you wouldnt want them falling out mid-session. May i be the first to suggest getting a new case for your build? Might be better than what Dell offer. IDK about the warranty though.
Hmm. Just realised I didn't uninstall my GPU drivers. Will this be a problem when I install my new card?
Shouldn't be, just do a clean sweep once the new graphics card is installed and after it's clear install the correct drivers.
Do you mean reinstall windows? Because I just spent all weekend redownloading all my games after my last fresh install.
Got my power supply in. It involved bending a lot of my case But a least it's in. Can't hook up my blu ray drive though. Guess I'll just move it down a slot.
