Motherboard issues I just bought a GeForce 9800 GTX, the old case didnt fit it so i bought a new case, then the power supply didnt reach so I bought a new power supply... I am having problems plugging things back in, I had tried to get a friend to do it be he was taking too long so I took it back today and am trying to figure out how to plug all the important stuff back up, right now im having trouble with the Harddrive, i have the power supply plugged into the hard drive now i just cant remember where the hard drive plugs into on the Motherboard.

To get the full specs of your mainboard go to: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00893006&lc=en&cc=au&lang=en&product=3401230&dlc=en#N198

This motherboard has 1 PCI Express x16 slot for a graphics card.

You could use:
Geforce 6 series (6800GT)

Geforce 7 series (GeForce 7950, GeForce 7900, GeForce 7800, GeForce 7600 ,
GeForce 7300, GeForce 7200 and GeForce 7100)

Geforce 8 series (GeForce 8800 Ultra, GeForce 8800 GTX, GeForce 8800 GTS, GeForce 8800 GTS 512, GeForce 8800 GT, GeForce 8800 GS, GeForce 8600 GTS, GeForce 8600 GT and GeForce 8500 GT)

Geforce 9 series (GeForce 9800 GX2, GeForce 9800 GTX+, GeForce 9800 GTX, GeForce 9600 GT, GeForce 9600 GSO 512, GeForce 9600 GSO and GeForce 9400 GT

Geforce 200 series (GeForce GTX 295, GeForce GTX 285, GeForce GTX 280, GeForce GTX 275, GeForce GTX 260, GeForce GTS 250 GeForce GTS 240 and GeForce GT 220

Geforce 400 series (GeForce GTX 480, GeForce GTX 470, GeForce GTX 465, GeForce GTX 460, Geforce GTX 450)

With your system however I would recommend nothing greater than a Geforce GTS 250.

Please rate me high.
Thanks.

And don't know about ati graphic cards which has these features. i'm sure i have given you a satisfactory answer.
For further any help or to thank me you can mail me on my email [email protected]

anything less than an nvidia 8800 or a 9800 is total **** for gaming.

1.Power supply doesn't have enough Amps for the 12 volt voltage rail.

2.Power supply doesn't have the required power cables/connectors required.
You NEED TWO 6-pin PCI Express power cables.
If you use just one, you will burn up the connectors down in the PCI Express x16 slot, and the power cable connection on the GTX card, and/or fry the power supply.

3.Cheap power supply that came in a deal when buying a computer case. Cheap case? Cheap power supply.

No, a 9000 will not be enough. You'll need something from this list, and it will have to be AGP.

I don't think whether it's compatible or not is the issue with graphics card, what you need to make sure is that you have a good power supply for the cards' needs and that your motherboard has a decent FSB speed (Front Side Bus).

I've compared the specs of your motherboard to the graphics card. That looks abolutely fine, only other thing you'll need is a decent power supply, I suggest 750 watts or above as you will need 2 molex plug connections for that card. Isn't the best motherboard in the world for it but It's going to be better than the built in X3000 shared graphics you're currently using!

If you've got any other questions regarding this just give me a shout!

You'll be able to fit the 9800 card in to the PCI-Express slot for the motherboard.

The problem then becomes for you, do you have sufficient power going to the card (it'll have plugs that attach to it as a part of the video card when purchased) but more importantly, will it even fit in your case? The graphic's cards are large and fairly bulky, so be sure to look at the dimensions of the card along with if you'll have enough room to house the new card within your tower.

Hi!

Since there is 1 PCI Express x16 slot you can use any PCI Express GPU, like Asus GeForce GTX 260 896MB PhysX CUDA, EVGA GeForce 9800GT 512MB PhysX CUDA, Gainward GeForce 9800GT 512MB PhysX CUDA or whatever you want as long as it is a PCI EPRESS card.

Good luck
