Well, show off factor? Though I would prefer it to use 6 pin instead... no need for a converter =/

the 8 pin gives extra ground point. an extra ground provides much smoother and more stable power delivery to the card.

Extra ground? I though the 2 extra pins are both 12v pins isn't it? From the looks of the 6 pin to 8 pin converter though.

@netraid,same...that short hair chick...for some reason, she looks much hotter in 4870GS pictures ..hmm, those cards r sure sexy

Hey guys today i just bought the 4850GS but my when i fix it in, the GC blocks my SATA plug on the motherboard.. how to solve this? got anyway else to bypass the SATA plug on the mobo?

please help.... just bought the 4850GS and cannot pasang leh..

I'm feeling dirty; those pics somehow feels so appealing LOL.

@ raymones89, provide some pics please?

lol, if you all really want to look at it then i will take some photos later. just fix back my cpu =.=

my 2 sata plugs is at the end of the mobo, covered by the edge of the 4850GS. So i have no way to fix in the sata wire to connect it to the hdd and the dvd-rw.. help.... takkan have to change the whole pc leh..

yeah, we need picture so that we can assist more..

to save the trouble, google your mobo brand and post the picture here

okay hold on a while yeah, i will be back in a while

for overdrive..if no 8pin, overdrive option wont be there..unless u hax it like i did lol

these are the pics..

Haiz..Alot seller bo stock for Gainward HD4850 GS edy..

the 1st pic you can see the sata is connected
the 2nd pic is when i fix in the 4850GS
the 3rd is the position below the GC. can see it's blocking the sata port.


any suggestion to solve this?

can the angled sata cable fit in there???

angled sata? what is that?

Yeah, I suppose you should buy those angled SATA cables.. but if you don't wish to, i guess you have to cramp it. I managed to cramp my power cables on the left side of the PCIE slot after inserting my Gainward card. There's a little gap that fits nicely.

lol, i have no choice, but it seems like the gap is also very small unless the angled sata is very very small... where can i find the angled sata? how much does it cost?
