00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:07,359
so i wanted to do a quick video as a follow-up to our 5970 unboxing on just

2
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:11,840
how big this card is and what it's going to take to get it to fit in your case so

3
00:00:09,679 --> 00:00:15,360
one case that i had on hand here a built that i've been working on and has torn

4
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:20,480
apart right now i apologize for the state of it this is the Corsair obsidian

5
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:24,960
800d case though and i just wanted to show for scale

6
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:30,160
the kind of monster case that you need to fit one or heaven forbid even two of

7
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:33,440
these video cards so we're installing it in our pci express slot here and there's

8
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:39,040
a couple things i want you to note about this first of all how much overhang

9
00:00:36,160 --> 00:00:44,640
there is from a standard size atx board you're pretty much going to need a case

10
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:45,920
that supports eatx or has a lot of

11
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:49,920
clearance past the edge of the motherboard if you want this card to fit

12
00:00:48,239 --> 00:00:53,920
another thing to note is that it's very important to choose a motherboard that

13
00:00:52,160 --> 00:00:58,000
has right angle SATA slots because you can see there's two two and two of the

14
00:00:56,320 --> 00:01:01,440
SATA sport SATA ports on this motherboard are actually directly under

15
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:05,439
the video card we can't access them if they were right angle then we'd be able

16
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:09,280
to plug them in from the side even under the video card now the last thing i

17
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:14,640
wanted to kind of show you just for perspective here is a couple generations

18
00:01:12,159 --> 00:01:20,479
ago this was a reasonably high end card this is a 3850 okay so for for size

19
00:01:18,159 --> 00:01:27,439
comparison that's what it looks like compared to the 59 70. just ridiculous

20
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:30,799
so oh actually one more thing you want to be very careful with your system once

21
00:01:29,119 --> 00:01:33,759
you've got this installed so you put in your two screws but you got to think

22
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:37,759
about this the only thing supporting this card is your pci express slot and

23
00:01:36,079 --> 00:01:41,840
two screws over here you want to be careful not to jar your system or ship

24
00:01:40,079 --> 00:01:45,439
your system potentially unless you've done everything you can to secure this

25
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:48,799
card in place because it can put a lot of strain on your pci express lut thank

26
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:53,399
you for checking out my installation video for the Radeon 5970
