Hi,

I just bought the system (i9 10900) with no graphics card and now i wanted to install my card (RTX 1650).

it worked until i wanted to close the cover. The PCIe Blower fan section has to be removed to physically let me close the cover. Here are my questions:

is it only possible to install low profile cards in that system?

is there a kit to add to get done what i have on mind?

i can remove the fan. then bios tells me the error of the missing fan. the card has a proper fan on itself, so can i tell the system not to use the fan?

after some years not buying a tower pc, just laptops)  i was still thinking that adding a graphics card would be an easy job, even with an extra power cable (that i found and connected). Well sending it back might be an option. but i dont give up yet...

thanks for some advice.

 

ps if i missed a thread where that topic has been covered i apologize.

in the meantime i read the forum what i should have done earlier... well.

I found out that there is a 700 w power supply installed. but front fan is missing. so if i buy souch a kit, all is fine? wenn i expect no, because if i plug that kit (if possible) where i removed the pcie fan, then the system still does not know about the new fan position...

thanks for some light in that

i found out, that there seems to be only the pcie holder and fan blower unit available, but i fear that this is the unit i already have installed in my system... Or is this a substitute unit to install high profile graphics cards?
