You'd need a new case...

Have you got a motherboard in mind?

Rampage iv extreme

Outlander_04 · Sep 17, 2014

some cases have the additional slots for e-ATX or ee-ATX motherboards .

Outlander_04 :

And what does that mean ?

smackers_12 · Sep 17, 2014

e-atx motherboards are wider than normal atx boards but no longer, you mean some cases have slots for xl-atx boards, these have more pci-e slots, thus you can fit the 4 cards in there

Thank you for the correction

These cases

should have the 8 slots you need

Im not looking to buy a new case i want to fit 4x gtx 780 ti cards in to my cooler master enforcer case.So my queston is this if i get e-atx motherboard i get more pcie slots and i can fit 4 gpus ?

That still doesn't answer how you make the existing case PHYSICALLY accommodate that many cards in the first place.

And if you don't have the space, you don't have the space. There is nothing you can do other than buy a new case.

So you are using a video card that is only one expansion slot thick, that can do quad-sli. I assume that's what you want to do because you are insisting on fitting 4 cards with only 7 slots.

There are some Japanese video cards manufacturers that turn what is usually 2 slots wide cards into only 1 slot wide. So you might want to go and go talk to Japanese people about this.

He says in the first post that he wants to use GTX 780s - which, last time I checked, don't come in single-slot flavors.

I dont even know if there will be enough clearance above the psu in the enforcer. If there is you might be able to do it on water if there is a single slot 780ti with a water block.

smackers_12 · Sep 17, 2014

From looking at the enforcer it dosnt look like you can fin a graphics card there, due to psu clearance even if you cut a new pci-e slot bracket. You cannot fit 4 780ti's in a cm storm enforcer. If you are spending so much money on the cards why not just sped an extra 50 bucks for a case that can fit them. Your mobo has enough slots to fit the cards and is e-atx. The rampage iv extreme is not compatible with the cm storm enforcer. buy a different case if you want to fit this hardware

Seems fairly over kill to me.. But assuming ur hardware is viable, as in The pcie slots will allow the graphics cards yo fit and run in full lanes etc. ..your issue seems to be that ur motherboard and case is not lining up...

Then the only option is to customise the case you want, or make ur own using part of thr case that u like, it wont be easy but its doable...and im assuming cash aint an option since ur splashing out this amount of dollar...

Or is this theoretical?

If it wont fit the case ...IT WONT FIT THE CASE...... Simples (meerkat voice stylee)

I can just buy a small cheap pcie extra case.

smackers_12 · Sep 18, 2014

^ what do you mean by "buy a new small cheap pcie extra case" you will need a full tower for 4 way sli

Matsku man · Sep 18, 2014

smackers_12 :

No i dont i can just buy a small pcie case and connect that small extra pcie case to my enforcer.

smackers_12 · Sep 18, 2014

You cant simply connect another case. The rampage iv extreme is also too wide to fit in the enforcer, this will not work in any way

Is there away i could get more pcie slots ?
