Hello,
I just bought a new graphics card, a GTX560ti to replace my poor GT220. The problem is that my new card is huge compared to the previous one.
As a result, this new card blocks the SATA0 and SATA1 ports.
I can only access the SATA4 and SATA5 ports located just below.
Does it pose a problem to connect my 2 cables to ports 4 and 5 instead of 0 and 1?
Is there anything to do afterwards regarding the boot of the computer or anything else?
Are all SATA cables the same? Because I have one that is a bit short to connect everything properly now that there's a new graphics card.
Thank you.
Configuration: Windows 7 / Safari 535.11
