actually compressed air is more dangerous then using a vacuum cleaner as the compressed air contains water vapour. i always use vacuum cleaners and have not damaged anything before.
LOL ATI IS GOOd amd is bad over heat in like one second of having the fan removed
Guys if you are not very educated with computers, not attempt to try these things at home, unless you have done your home work.
I have had a couple of people come into my shop with computer equipment that was stuffed, cause they were trying to DIY it
that is right, I have a work shop set-up in the back, cause I manage a shop down town that dose computer repairs and installing computer components, and if your are thinking of attempting any computer maintenance, Read up on it, and make sure that you have all the propper equipment needed for the job, e.g. Anti static wrist band (Pretty cheap) Good set of rubber soled boots (if your way to scared and an anti static work mat, just thing to keep you grounded.
Using a vacuum cleaner on your PC is a bad idea. A friend of mine managed to damage his motherboard while vacuuming the dust out of it (static shock on one of the components).
it’s better to use a can of compressed air to get the dust bunnies out of your machine.
How is the name of the music at the beginning of the video?
Is it a dell 530s that you have
i want that card
i agree
Is that a complete, 100% fact? or are you just saying that because you like ATI more?
I am not trying to second guess you, but I need to be sure. That graphics card was expensive, and I do not want to have to get rid of it AFTER it said it was 100% compatible with my computer.
you must use ATI, not Nvidia GeForce

Thanks MAte
@Dominator046 there is a saying “a picture says a tausand words”
It sounds like you have a low profile case.
Is the bracket twice the height of the card, or the same?
If it is twice the height, then you should be able to fit a low profile bracket.
There are little lugs that you can remove from either side of the DVI/VGA port that will allow you to remove the current bracket.
No, the card fits perfectly, but there is a little flange of metal at the one end, that is supposed to hold it in, but it is wider than the entire computer tower.
i’m running on a dell, the service tag is HDPZN71 (sorry if that doesn’t tell you anything) and I’m trying to install a GeForce 9500 GT, and after going through the company, it said the graphics card was compatible…
So, I’m confused XDD.
Engine clocks for 5000-series are wrong on that graphicshelp site. Like 5870’s 2,72 MHz?
No need to be scared, you could always practise doing what’s seen in this video with your current one while doing other research before purchasing and upgrading.
Once you do something simple as replacing a video card you’ll be able to gain enough confidence and enthusiasm to go further if you wish. =)
holy cow, that product manager is a good looking fella!
hmm do you mean the card is too long? this is a common issue when installing powerful graphics into small chassis. the only solution is to get a bigger case, or to saw your case into pieces which i dont recommend
you could tell us what graphics card youre installing and which chassis you got?
Probably is right. You should check to see if your PSU meets the wattage requirements of the GPU before installation. Preferably before you even purchase the GPU, so you can buy the PSU at the same time.
@NAG3V But you should also restart after Nvidia driver installation, it can happen that some functions without rebote of Windows are not loaded yet.
This probably isn’t the place to ask.
I got a graphics card that was proven compatible with my computer. I know where it fits, and I could probably put it there…
but there is a large metal piece at the end, and unless I want to jam it through my motherboard and probably my processor, there is no way I can fit it into my computer…
Is there anything I can do? There are no screws, so I’m not sure if I can take it off.
lol listen to 2:35 and you can year a windows sound xD
The new Nvidia drivers don’t require reboot, but older one (~6 months ago) required reboot.
