Motherboard left side of the case

Solved

Hello,

So here it is, some time ago I bought a new PC online and I have no issues with it.

I noticed that the motherboard is on the left side of the case.

And I think for Christmas I might buy a new graphics card, so I assume that having a motherboard on the left and a graphics card to install on a motherboard on the right could potentially cause a big problem.

So I would like to know where I can buy a graphics card to install on the motherboard?

Thank you for your help

    Yes, we can also say that my motherboard is reversed on the side and my processor is in the same place as all the others

    Uh, I'm not an expert, but I've never seen "left" or "right" cards...
    So I think it's more of a "reverse" installation.... One question, is your processor at the top or at the bottom?

    Hi,

    Is it a Dell for sure?

    Sorry for taking so long to respond, and on top of that, I made a mistake: the processor is not at the top, but it is at the bottom. Also, the motherboard is reversed, the writings are upside down.

    Yes, the processor is located at the bottom of the case.

    It's not a Dell, it's an HP Pavilion.

    Sorry for saying that it was at the top.

    It is indeed located at the bottom.

    So it’s no problem to add a graphics card, actually everything is the other way around. If it’s a graphics card with a fan facing up, you’ll have it facing down... not really a problem.

    Without a photo of the inside of your computer, it's hard to say if it will be done without issues (especially due to the back plate of your computer). Provide the exact references or a link to your computer.
    It could also simply be due to a lack of space (especially on pre-built computers...)

    I had read it wrong, but you already have a graphics card (Radeon HD 3450)
    This card is like all the others, so if you buy another one, there's no problem replacing it.
    But if it's not too personal, what will you be replacing it with?

    It only has 256 MB dedicated, and I would like at least 512 MB dedicated. Moreover, for 80€, you can get a very good graphics card, even for 60€.

    Otherwise, the graphics card is indeed great; it works perfectly. If someone is looking for information, this card works very well.

    If your choice has not yet been made, the HD 4670 is a very good value for money today... I have seen very good reviews about this card.

    If your problem is resolved, please indicate it to avoid overloading the forum.

    Thank you, I think you've solved my problem and I've noticed something: like the processor, the writing is inverted, the top is at the bottom, so my graphics card's fan is currently facing up. The next graphics card I buy will also be facing up.

    Problem solved (be careful about the size of the graphics card LOL)
