Hi everyone,
My son has been saving up all summer for this card. It is huge!
It will not fit in his MB. because the system fan is in the way.
MSI K8N Neo4. not platinum.
Will the MB run fine if I remove the fan. It seems to sit on a small processor.
If not, is there a MSI board that will accept this card as he doesn,t want to reformat.
It would be nice to just load motherboard drivers.
If I got a different brand could I just load motherboard drivers.
thanks

No. If he removes the fan his system will overheat and suffer potentially permanant damage
if you get a new board you will nearly always need to reinstall

You might try finding an aftermarket cooling solution for the chipset that is smaller/more effective.
www.newegg.com has things like this. (under cooling devices I think) but you'd best be confident in your ability to install these things.
Or a new motherboard works too.
