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

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

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

00:00:13.840 --> 00:00:20.480
apart right now i apologize for the state of it this is the Corsair obsidian

00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:24.960
800d case though and i just wanted to show for scale

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

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

00:00:31.920 --> 00:00:39.040
a couple things i want you to note about this first of all how much overhang

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

00:00:40.960 --> 00:00:45.920
that supports eatx or has a lot of

00:00:44.640 --> 00:00:49.920
clearance past the edge of the motherboard if you want this card to fit

00:00:48.239 --> 00:00:53.920
another thing to note is that it's very important to choose a motherboard that

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

00:00:56.320 --> 00:01:01.440
SATA sport SATA ports on this motherboard are actually directly under

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

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

00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:14.640
wanted to kind of show you just for perspective here is a couple generations

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

00:01:18.159 --> 00:01:27.439
comparison that's what it looks like compared to the 59 70. just ridiculous

00:01:24.880 --> 00:01:30.799
so oh actually one more thing you want to be very careful with your system once

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

00:01:32.240 --> 00:01:37.759
about this the only thing supporting this card is your pci express slot and

00:01:36.079 --> 00:01:41.840
two screws over here you want to be careful not to jar your system or ship

00:01:40.079 --> 00:01:45.439
your system potentially unless you've done everything you can to secure this

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

00:01:47.360 --> 00:01:53.399
you for checking out my installation video for the Radeon 5970
