Sorry I've been away so long- but the time has come to upgrade my graphics card again to a FULL SIZED GTX 760.... If you would like to see how this can be done I have done this before with a GTX 480 in a s5160f slimline....It's really a lot easier than you might think. Check out the pics and...

I believe most of your questions have been answered in my posts since you posted this. I hope this helps with the rest of them. From Nvidia these are the requirements for the GTX 470 : "Minimum of a 550 Watt power supply.with a combined +12 Volt current rating of 38 Amps Two available 6-pin...

http://www.amazon.com/Cooler-Master-Vortex-Aluminum-Heatpipes/dp/B000WHAHFY Again the Cooler Master website search directs to the WRONG VORTEX. That one will not work. You want this one: Vortex 752. I found it here, it shows out-of-stock, but it is available elsewhere. SORRY, should have...

This is what I replaced my defective heatsink/fan on me IPIEL-LA3 motherboard with. This is the largest that will fit in this case. When taking out the old one you have to remove the motherboard screws and also slide out the DVD drive, but you can leave all the MB connections attached.. Then...

Because of the limited width of the case, and that now the cards are sideways, if you use the ribbon connectors (PCI-e x1), you can use two of the three,( the bottom one sits too close to the bottom of the case).I got 2 inch and 1 inch PCI-e x1 ribbon connectors which allow me enough bending...

This may be where I got it. It comes in other lengths and has Gen2 option. When it comes it will be a different color ribbon as its made from a different material. http://www.ameri-rack.com/ARC1-PELX16-Cxm.htm

My Slimline s5160f : Q8200 6 GB 750 HD Blu-ray TV tuner w/remote Geforce G210 etc.... My Slimline with all those unnecessary parts removed. ( notice the previously hidden 3 pci-e slots ). I also discovered one of the heatsink screw supports was defective/cracked. More about this later...

No.......must be a "GEN 2" I remember doing the research, and talking to the reps.

Yes, IMPORTANT: it must be a ribbon adapter, 3 inch, pci-x16, GEN 2. The GEN 2 part is especially important. I can't remember the website where I got it but I had to call to order. It specifically stated GEN 2, the ribbon is blue in color, wasn't that expensive so I also got a 2 inch and 1...

Thanks for fixing those. Now do you know anything about refrigerators?

One more time for the missing pic"][/URL]

OK that didn'd work. I'll try this."][/URL]

Thanks. I hope this works. In reply to others - yes I have more pics for you to see - only made one very small and easy cut on back panel - the PSU is in picture, and I did upgrade the CPU and heatsink but this was only because original heatsink screw was defective - temp in low range of normal...

Yes I have very successfully installed a GTX 470 into a Slimline. It runs flawlessly. I posted this 5-19-2010. Wish I could show you the pictures but I still cannot figure out how to post them.

I have installed an Nvidia GTX 470 into my Slimline s5160f thanks to the info I've found on this forum. I am trying to post pictures so that you can see that I'm not crazy, (well a little bit). I am new to posting in forums and have read the FAQ but still can't find the pictures and album link...
