ccvortex Posted Tuesday at 11:34 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 11:34 PM Found a good deal on a 7780 with everything I want except the GPU. It has a 2000 Ada - was wondering if its possible to buy a 5000 Ada and swap it in... I see there a few for sale on ebay et al, but was wondering if the BIOS would accept it. Thoughts?

Aaron44126 Posted Wednesday at 11:44 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 11:44 AM BIOS will be fine. You will possibly need to replace the heatsink in addition to the GPU card, though.

nforce4max Posted Wednesday at 01:42 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 01:42 PM When it comes to heatsink one could get lucky provided the screw mounts are the same otherwise be ready to spend more ontop of buying the card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might not just be the screw mount positions, you should check things like the number of heat pipes or the type and size of the cooler on the GPU side. I think in Precision 7770 and 7780, they use a more skimpy cooler for systems with the lower-powered GPUs.

Doesn't surprise me, they've done the whole skimpy pipes on low spec coolers bs as well which can really hurt cpu side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
