Nvidia 7800 in D-8400

Right now I have the X800 SE when I want to upgrade to the 7800 will I encounter the fan problem? The fan should have come with the X800 SE or was it not an high end card back then?

    Correct me if I'm wrong...the fan comes attached to the card, so I don't really understand the question. What fan problem?

    When adding a bigger card an extra blow fan has to be attached or you will get an error saying you have to add it. Now I'm not sure whether this fan allready is attached because my PC came with an X800SE installed.

    I installed a bigger card...I upgraded from teh 9800 pro to the x850 xt pe. The x850 is literally twice the size, but it came with the fan, I have no problems.

    Got this from the F.A.Q on the top of this forum.

    "Error while adding PCIe video card, "Alert! additional card cage fan needed for PCI Express card over 75 watts". You need to call Spare Parts (800-372-3355)and purchase this part number:H3840 Auxilary Blower Fan for PCIe video cards"

    The 7800GT only draws 57W so it shouldn't require a fan. The X850XT PE draws 72W so it just came in under the wire. :smileyvery-happy:
