Is H81M-K motherboard compatible with GT730 2GB

jermylarin15 · Jan 27, 2018

my computer's mother board model is H81M-K. Is it compatible with:
AFOX GT730 2GB DDR5 128Bit PCI-E Graphic Card
(AF730-2048D5H2)
https://www.lazada.com.ph/afox-gt730-2gb-ddr5-128bit-pci-e-graphic-card-af730-2048d5h2-34342504.html?spm=a2o4l.searchlist.list.1.40eb47f7lg7sn8

But Im actually buying:
Palit GeForce GTX1050 TI StormX Videocard 4gb 128bit Pcie DDR5
https://www.lazada.com.ph/palit-geforce-gtx1050-ti-stormx-videocard-4gb-128bit-pcie-ddr5-20976392.html?spm=a2o4l.prod.reccomendations-list-item_page-bottom.1.30530f14syn6ls&lzd_rec_event_src=OE721ELABB6QR2ANPH&lzd_rec_event_dest=PA180ELAACHLHKANPH&strat=viewed_viewed&pa=item_page.bottom

Im just interested to know if its gonna work 'cause someone said that on gt730 I have to worry about it because of my computer's case, If it will fit in.

Sorry for bad english
Thank you so much!

Both GPU`s are PCIe so no problem there, they will both run fine on your motherboard.

You do not list your case so I have no way to know if the GPU`s will fit or not.

lumineZ :

Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-4170 cpu @ 3.70GHz (4CPUs), ~3.7GHz

Am I right?

lumineZ · Jan 27, 2018

No that is your CPU.

Case is this: http://phanteks.com/Enthoo-Elite.html
The casing that holds all your computer hardware

lumineZ :

Where can I see it? sorry hahaah, cause I have zero knowledge of what I am trying to do.

lumineZ · Jan 27, 2018

Hehe

no problem

Look at your case and see if you can see a name somewhere. If you see several names or different info on it. Just type it all in here and we will most likely find it on the web

Theres nothing in here lol. the only thing I saw is intel core i3 in the front of my cpu and at the back AC230V/50HZ/3A
AC230V/50HZ/3A

jermylarin15 · Jan 28, 2018

lumineZ :

things in front of my cpu:
Super Writemaster

Intel -inside - corei3

at the back AC230V/50HZ/3A
AC230V/50HZ/3A

lumineZ · Jan 28, 2018

Oh boy

Ok then lets take this step by step

1. The Super WriteMaster is an DVD drive. (reads and writes to DVD plates)
2. The Intel Core i3 is your CPU (Central Processing Unit)

But the AC230V/50HZ/3A part has me a bit comfused. Are you 100% sure it reads exactly AC230V/50HZ/3A

And now I also have to ask. How well do you know computers? Have you built one before?
Dont be shy and be honest since this will give me an idè how well one has to explain things and to not use words you might not have heard of and things like that.

Sorry just got home from school..
I've been using it for a year now, and I haven't built any computer before, my sister bought this computer for her work and now she's on abroad now, and it is mine now. Im pretty sure it was AC230V/50HZ/3A. BTW the actual video card thats Im going to use is Palit GeForce GTX1050 TI StormX ,and The graphics card Im currently using is geforce 210

Sorry for bad quality and english...

lumineZ · Jan 29, 2018

Looked at the pictures. And that is not pictures of the CPU. That is pictures of the CASE.
Your case brand name is: POWERLOGIC.

Watch this movie so you can learn the difference things like what is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1Q8ksRI1Eo
CPU
Motherboard
GPU (grapics card)
RAM (memory)
HDD / SSD (place where you store all your stuff like operation system, games, music, programs, movies, etc etc)

And so on.

My bad I thought it was the cpu. hmm what about the case of my computer, Is the graphics cards gonna fit inside? BTW just got home from school, Im gonna watch the video first before I do my assignment

BTW. Sir I also created a thread 3 days ago about: Where can I my computer's case name? http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-3629016/computer-case.html
They said that the graphics card will fit in. But, Im not so sure about that..

lumineZ · Jan 30, 2018

To be honest I tryed to find some info about your case. And there is very little of it...
The full name of your computer case is: Powerlogic V1B

But I cant find any spesifications so I have no real idè if the card would fit or not. Only way to be 100% sure is if you open it up and messure.

jermylarin15 · Jan 31, 2018

lumineZ :

I'll try to open it up on this upcoming weekend, and send pictures of it.

jermylarin15 · Feb 3, 2018

lumineZ :

Hey sir I just found out a case that is very similar to my case or almost the same case as mine. Sadly I cant open my case now cause of mother is worried that I might break something, but I might try to open it up on monday

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4A6pkTxbqZY&t=296s

btw can you recommend other graphics card 2gb or 4gb?

lumineZ · Feb 3, 2018

Without knowing the exact case so I can see the spesifications on it, I will not take the risk and recommend any GPU since... Well there is no way that I would know it would fit.

Since I cant find it the only thing you can do is to take the side panel off and use a ruller or something and messure the space (length + width). Once you have that you can look at the spesifications on the GPU`s and see if they will fit.

jermylarin15 · Feb 4, 2018

I used measuring to tape. Here's what I got 13x14 and 7 length. I didnt remove the side panel btw I still dont know when I can open it up.

lumineZ · Feb 5, 2018

You have to remove the side panel to measure the available space inside for the GPU... Taking measures outside the case does not help you at all.

And always list what kind of measures you are using.. 13 X 14 what? cm, mm, m, foot, inch?????
