Is it possible to connect these to the gpu and directly to a usb 3 port. I already have 6 hd 7990s on the mobo and am trying to add more.

no , it won't work, GPU requires high power, you may burn your USB port or Motherboard

you have 6 7990's and your looking for more? might have to open a nuclear power plant for that thing :P just sell those. then buy a r7 270x 4gb gpu from gigabyte or msi or whatever and you would have alot less power consumption and less heat to try to dissipate. that would run you $250 but you could probably sell those gpu's for close to enough to upgrade the rest of your system including a amd a10 7850k to run crossfire with the gpu and get the same preformance as the 6 gpus you have. and then you would half your power consumption.

I just installed the card in my Vostro 460 Dell from 2011. Drivers installed ok. The Sata cable they sent is too short to connect to my hard drive SATA (only one available). Without power my USB 3.0 ports are not working. I have ordered a 12 inch cable which should arrive by the 4th. Hopefully powering it will solve my problem.

You need a six pin power cable, and this product dose not support SLI. Just letting you know if you were looking at up grading later. I like the card, but if I had known that it didn't support SLI, I wouldn't have purchased it. Although that being said it's a great card and has worked well for me. I play all the latest games and have had no problem with it.

Yes, I have done so on both of mine. Suggest a USB. If you add one internally the BIOS will "yell at you for having opened the chassis". Not a big deal to turn off but.... In any event, I have an internal on one and a USB on the other. Little or no difference in performance.

I recently just set mine up last night. I am using 3 monitors and had to go into the BIOS and enable onboard video to get the 3rd monitor to work. 2 of my monitors are plugged into the Video Card using 1 DVI and 1 HDMI and the 3rd is plugged into onboard DVI. Im assuming you could use the extra onboard VGA to hook up a 4th monitor if you needed to. If you didn't want to use VGA then you would have to install a 2nd video card in the machine.

I think it's possible to plug a mid-range graphics card like the nVidia geForce GT6xx series into the PCI slot. Don't know what kind of graphics card you have, but this unit is limited by its 300w power supply.

The drivers are native to Windows 7. You can check the compatibility of your MoBo here http://www.nzxt.com/product/detail/97-aperture-m-case-accessory . When I installed the card reader it took quite a long time for windows to install each card reader. It installed each one as if it was a separate card reader. It took a long time...I had to be patient. I was unaccustomed to long wait times for driver installation and such because my system is normally quite fast. Now look at the pictures of the cabling for the card reader. The blue 19 pin female connector is USB 3.0 I believe. If you do not have one of these ports on your MoBo, I don't think you will want to use this card reader.

Hi Thank you for your interest. But I'm sorry we can't guarantee the compatibility with on board graphic chipset. Please use the graphic card like Nvidia GT620. Thank you.

Yes, I used this GPU with a Hackintosh (MasOS 10.8.4 on Dell 755 PC). I had three displays connected and operational at the same time.I could get audio to the monitor/TV through DVI (-> HDMI cable) or alternately through the HDMI-> HMDI cable or alternately using external standalone speakers. Your mileage may vary!!...EAB

I run 4 of them right now with one slot empty in between them and it will run without a fan.However, these seem to dip to 1.4 GHash/s after awhile (even with a fan). Could be my USB hub. Seems fine if restarted.

They don't have the HDMI video port built into them, however... you can purchase a low profile HDMI video graphics card that will fit into the PCI-E slot on the motherboard. Just remember its PCI-E and needs to be low profile, and you can grab an entry level card with a HDMI port on it. I wouldn't grab some $300 video card, just a simple $40 one would be just fine. A crazy fast high end ($200 to $500 ) video card wouldn't be able to be powered by this machine. The power supply in it is not powerful enough to run one thats designed for gaming etc.

Given that MSI did setup the ports, short answer is yes. (please check on MSI site for exact card spec) reference this video on how to setup the connections. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jf0X0lNFmgw

Correct. As in the description...2 of the 4 USB ports on top are 3.0. Of course, your mainboard will need to have 3.0 headers to connect these to.

None and cables aren't the longest. Can't really run behind atx motherboards.

There is an adapter sold by NZXT that should allow you to mount one of these onto your GPU, however I don't think you will be able to just add your GPU to the loop like you're thinking.

Yes can. As others said, you'll just have to use a different port for them. This card is amazing and quite and If you're only using it for everyday stuff, it will run just fine. It'll put out 4k resolution as well

Great tips in this thread, thanks.I can't find what memory card I can get for my new 790. Does anyone know if it will take an 8 or even a 16 gig SDHC card? And can I use a "Class 6", or is it only able to accept/benefit from a "Class 4"? Can anyone recommend a solid, inexpensive card reader for SDHC cards? Thanks for your replies.
