Hi All:  I want to upgrade my ENVY 700-215xt, which uses the Memphis-B mother board, to use a better video card. Can this motherboard / PC support a dual slot video card such as PNY GeForce GTX 1060 (http://www.pny.com/geforce-gtx-1060). I realize it uses one PCI-e slot which it has I was more worried about the space. There is a heat sink or some electronic componet south of the pci e which might get in the way (see below) . I already upgraded the power supply.

Thanks

@dougyb, welcome to the forum.

 

You can check the fit of the card by measuring from the Back I/O ports to the front of the case.  This will give you a good idea if there is enough space for the length.  Also, you can measure the width at the fins.  I don't believe that you will have any problems.  There is normally plenty of room.  I have never seen any reports that any of the parts on the motherboard interferred with the fit of a video card.

From the 3rd picture on the web-site that you cited, the video-card has two "spines".

 

Those two spines will line-up with your "long" PCI-E slot and the nearest "short" PCI-E slot.

 

Most of the video-card will sit on "top" of the "long" PCI-E slot, but a small part of it may locate on "top" of the "short" PCI-E slot -- but definitely not extending far-enough to touch that aluminum heat-sink.

 

Short answer: it will fit.

 

P.S. Amazing video-card, if the tag '6144 MB GDDR5' on that web-site is to be believed -- 6 GB of high-speed RAM.

Definitely a need to have those 2 cooling-fans.  Do you have another "fan" on the back-panel of your case?

It would be good to have, to pull out all the warm air.

There's a fan on the back of the pc. The video card comes bundled with the HTC Vive 🙂 both shipped and on way (didn't want to drop a grand and then not have the **bleep** card fit). Thanks for piece of mind!
