Hp dc7800 CMT compatibility with Evga 550ti SC

Shayan Inzi · Aug 20, 2013

I have Hp dc7800 Convertible Mini-tower. I want to buy Evga 550ti SC graphic card. I know that my motherboard has the pci-e x16 slot but the graphic card has dual-width size and the motherboard is BTX. I want to know if this graphic card can be fit or not. Any help will be appreciated! Here is the picture of my pcie-e slot.

It should fit. Length is 8.25 inches. The dual-width size will block the use of one of the PCIe x1 slots underneath the PCIe x16 slot.

The recommended power requirements for the card are:
Minimum of a 400 Watt power supply.
(Minimum recommended power supply with +12 Volt current rating of 24 Amps.)

The Hp dc7800 Convertible Mini-tower has a 365 watt power supply which is less than the minimum recommended.

@Calvin, I wish that would be true, but I guess you didn't observe the picture carefully. Take a look again on the PCIE x16 slot. The face/heatsink of the card will face up. (I bought another PSU of 500W just for this card but it seems the card won't be able to fit on that weird slot) :/

Even If I manage to drill on the case to make space for dual width but it seems the stupid screw of heatsink of processor won't let the card enter the slot. Am I right?

Replying after a long time. Finally I managed to change the motherboard and casing which solved my problem.
