So i was trying install my HIS 7850 in new mobo but it would not go in. Turns out I had a bad mobo anyways so getting a new one soon. Has there been issues with the HIS 7850 fitting into the PCI express slot? Ive never had a problem getting a video card in a computer before and that is the first time it would not go in. everything was lined up and the left side would not go all the way in still exposing some of the connectors. The mobo was a z68 extreme. thanks for any information

What do you mean by "fitting in"? Some cases don't line up well with modern two-slot video cards - my Zalman z9 Plus doesn't line up well with the Powercolor HD 6850 in my Asrock Extreme3 Gen3, if that helps. I've not heard this about the HIS before, though I've heard little about the HIS 7850 besides it being better than Diamond and Powercolor because of the cooler (or rather, because Powercolor and Diamond both use such a bad cooler).

Edit: Confused Visiontek card with Diamond card
