Hi,

 

As long as your PC is running a version 8 or higher BIOS then the motherboard is good to go.

Hi,

 

 

The NVIDIA GTX 1070 requires one or possibly two eight pin PCI-E power connectors depending on the make and model. Open up your PC and check on the available PCI-E power connectors. At the same time, do some measuring inside to make sure that the make and model that you choose will fit.

Heya I bought a MSI 1070, and it wouldn't fit in my case. So I was wondering, if I could buy another case and just transfer the motherboard over?
