Micro atx build pcie power cable help

[DGMurdockIII]

I need help solving a problem with a micro atx build. The pcie power on video card I have is on top and can't put case Cover on with it that way I found this link below that looks to fix it but if you all have any other better solution let me know http://www.moddiy.com/products/6%2d...eader-Connector-%2d-90%-Angled-%2d-Black.html

No this won't fix it. Those connectors have to be soldered onto a card, they are pretty much exactly what your card uses right now.

You can fix it with a small mod, take a look at the spoilers in this post.

If that is still not low-profile enough, you'll have to either get a new case or a new Graphics card.

The only place you can find them are ebay, if you're lucky. Nothing like this can currently be bought from any company that I know of.

Finding them on eBay is very easy, just a quick search finds both 6 and 8 pin.

Jup, those are the ones. Try these, and if they don't fit, the only other option would be to resolder the power connectors on the GPU.

what about a different micro atx case here is the one im using now and this is for a HTPC https://pcpartpicker.com/part/inwin-case-bk623bh300tb3 this one has no usb 3.0

This case has the exact same problem. The GPU will touch the side of the case so there won't be any space for the power connectors.
