asked on 

NVidia video card to fit S5000PSLSATAR ?

Hi,

I have the following system:

Intel - S5000PSLSATAR
Intel S5000PSLSATAR Server Board, I5000P/6xSATA/8xFBDIMM/2xGigaLAN/VIDEO/RAID 0, 1, 10/XEON 5XXX
Form Factor: SSI EEB 3.6, 12 x 13 inch / 305 x 330 mm
 
http://ark.intel.com/products/46546/Intel-Server-Board-S5000PSLSATAR

I would like to buy a new NVidia video card. Nothing special just enough that I
can down Windows 10 drivers for.

My problem is I am not sure if any of the current video cards will work?

So will it work ?

What specification should I be looking for so I know the cards will fit
in the slot.

Thanks,

Ward

Depends upon your case more than the motherboard.

Hi,

Thanks for that - I double checked the specs - are you sure it would fit? (Assuming the case is ok)

I say that because the specs say:

Max # of PCI Express Lanes  4
PCIe x4 Gen 1.x  1
PCIe x8 Gen 1.x  3

Aren't current cards x16 - and does the x factor also define the card lentgth - unless I was mistaken.

I say this as a computer shop said it would never fit when I asked them as the current cards connector
the PCB edge that plugs into the mother board is too long. (or the slot is too short on the motherboard)

Thanks,

Ward

To resolve any issue, just check length of slot - if it is really x16 slot just measure it -  if ti is around 89 mm that's it
:)
Wiki - PCI Express - Card pins and lengths
PCI express ×16                - 89 mm
