Case Issue with A8N-SLI

garrett6034 · 03-01-2005, 09:25 AM

I am having a issue with my Motherboard. I have bought three cases for my A8N-SLI and after mounting them I cannot get any of my cards to fit into the motherboard slot and the case exit slot. This is especally the case with my 6800 128 Mb Gforce. It will only fit half way or not at all. I have had myself and my fieonce attempt to get it to fit. When we think we get it to fit ill attach my monitor to the card and ill get no signal and the fan wont activate on the card. I know the card works perfectly because I managed to get it to fit into an older systems. The issue is with the cases, the motherboard, or myself.

More info: None of the Pci slots seem to fit properly either. This is with three different cases all ATX and two people constally attempting to get this to work. I also looked at a pic of the factory issue motherboard and noticed no difference.

Please help me,
Jamie Morrison

I do not want to appear rude but 3 diffrent cases and all these problems i just dont think its either the mobo or the case.
Do you have a digital camera or webcam and could show us some pictures of the board installed ? That would be the easiest way for us to see where the problems are.
