Does anyone know if this card will work with vga full cover cooling blocks meant for reference designs? Looks like it, but it's hard to be sure...

Yes and no. I have a VGA EK full water block for the reference design currently installed on mine. It requires some work. The block has to be disassembled. Then the copper/nickel piece has to be filed down very slowly trying it again and again to see if it will clear the larger capacitors. When it does, reassemble the block using a good thermal paste and the thermal tape over the video ram that either came with the MSI card or the water block. If you happen to have the EK backplate as I did, don't use it. Use the MSI backplate instead. It has not been leaking at all and runs at 39degrees on the low end and 46 degrees under very heavy load. Its worth mentioning I have a loop with a 2 fan radiator and a 4 fan external radiator installed. If you are not experienced in terms of understanding the parts of a videocard and exactly where and how far to trim a block I wouldn't attempt it.

I am afraid I can't answer that. All I can say is that it is a strong mid range low profile card. Under heaviest loads, in small form factor boxes, it will heat up. For my purposes - to deal with this I added extra fans and moved the power supply outside the box. Obviously I am a fanatic - and work to keep my system components running under listed normal ranges.

I dont see why it wouldnt wok with that board.It wont improve anything in your game except the sound.Its actually a really decent card.

Hello and thank you for contacting us. This will work in any full size system that has a PCI-E slot on it. If there is anything else I can do for you or if you have any other questions please let me know. Sincerely, Chris Nickels Red Planet Trading

I have but I also put a volcano in the thing. I have an overclocked FX-8350 and 2 Radeon R9-290x cards in here, they are also watercooled. I had to rip the foam out of the front and top panels to get the extra airflow. Everything is fine now. You also may not have to do this depending on what hardware you're using, I basically packed as much heat as I could in to this case so if you're using more reasonable components you should be fine.

I'm not sure what you mean when you say "reference" but if anything helps I can say yes you can put a waterblock on this GPU. I'm pretty sure frozencpu and EKWB makes them/sells them for this card and many others. I hope this helps http://www.frozencpu.com/products/21471/ex-blc-1550/HEATKILLER_GPU-X_GTX_760_Reference_Design_Full_Coverage_Water_Block_15540.html?tl=g30c311s2069#blank http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=59_971_240_578&products_id=39178

It's a dual 4-pin, so you should be good to go. I got the unit for an excellent price, especially considering EVGA was offering a rebate to go along with it, and it's been serving me very well thus far. Anyhow, make sure to check the EVGA website and see if any rebates are being offered. Hope this helps.

Are you trying to compare this EVGA with the MSI power edition??? If this is OK then choose MSI with eyes closed, it's better. If I'm wrong, I can't help you jejeje maybe this page can help you, but I think it will no answer your question. http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/high_end_gpus.html

It's not a classic motherboard graphics card, it is an actual dedicated system, but it's not a classic dedicated card. It is built into the CPU (new fangled tech). They generate significantly less heat, and use significantly less battery. The Nvidia counterpart is probably more powerful, but also more overheat+power usage.What you're really asking is, "will this run ____". The answer is yes. Obviously no competition for a well-built desktop, but as gaming laptops go, I've found the A8-4500 to be sufficient for smoothly running KSP, Planetside2, Gmod/HL:____/Nitronic rush, etc.I also do 3d modelling, until I dropped a screw on the motherboard, it was able to run both Inventor (solidworks), and Maya no problem.

Possibly in generic VGA mode, and don't expect gaming to work well. Finding drivers for something this old will be a challenge. I'd spend a few extra dollars and get something closer to current technology to ensure drivers are available.

PCI 3.0 video cards work fine in PCI 2.0 slots. I'm using one in a Gigabyte AM3+ board myself.

Not sure, I do know this board has TONS of problems, way beyond Firmware. I have been a huge EVGA fan for many years, but this board changed all that. I would not consider this board at all. I returned the one I ordered and installed after having multiple severe problems. One problem was almost none of the USB ports worked, and the ones that did were flakey. These problems were not minor and if you read through user reviews you will see similar complaints. I ended up ordering and installing this board which has worked flawlessly (see link). I have an Intel i7-3930K with a single GTX690 in it and it's a fantatic gaming rig.

I am using 400W power supply with this card and it works just fine. This card has pretty low power requirement especially since it has no cooling fans. This card is designed to be fully fanless by using bigger heat sinks. I mainly used it for the good performance, smaller profile and fanless design. Please let me know if you have further questions.

I might work, not sure about the on board Graphic being AMD if that will make a difference. Sure you can shut the on board graphics off in bios. If I where really you, I would go with a 760 or 770 if it's in your price range. They even got out a 750 ti boost that is a great card, but I would go with a 760 or higher if it would work on your board. Could ask Evga. I have 2 of those 660 FTW sig 2 GPU's 2-way SLi. They preform great but even I want to upgrade here soon. Hope this helps in some way.

What would you like to know about a CF set up? I have it set up in CF and my brother has it crossfired with a 7950. Both setups are far beyond optimal graphics with not a single issue yet... coolest crossfired cards I've ever owned.

I see your model has integrated graphics. But, you may also have an expansion slot for a VGA card. It needs to be a PCIe slot the box even says that is a x16 and it will support PCI express 2.0. It does include 2 low profile brackets too. Look at the picture of where the card is inserted on to the motherboard and see if you have the right slot.
