Would the graphics card R9 390X or gtx1070 fit on the motherboard GA-H81M-S1?

Would the graphics card R9 390X or gtx1070 fit on the motherboard GA-H81M-S1?201.79.70.197 (talk) 12:19, 12 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It should since those you mentioned are standard PCIe video cards anyway, but what matters more is if they fit inside the case you're using. Blake Gripling (talk) 12:57, 12 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

And you want to make sure it works with the power supply. The GTX1070 is rated around 150W, so it should work easily with any power supply that is at least 500W. The R9 390X is rated around 250W. So, you will want 600+W. Because the price isn't much different between 500 and 600W power supplies, I usually get more than I need. If you are using a small power supply (like a 350W that comes free with many cases), you will have issues with using either card. 209.149.113.4 (talk) 14:10, 12 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oh Yes, I know about the power supply thing, and I will buy one if needed. Anyway my current Graphics card is gt 730. Thanks for the help 201.79.78.164 (talk) 16:53, 12 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

While the case is far more likely to be a problem, I wouldn't assume they definitely fit all motherboards. Some motherboards may place components (particularly heatsinks) which will block excessively long cards, either for the main slot or the second slot if it's a double width card (as many are). Admittedly this isn't very common nowadays for a single card, still you should always check. I don't know what the PCIe standards for physical clearance are but I'm pretty sure they did not and possibly still don't require the sort of physical clearance some cards need. So a motherboard could be fully compliant but still not be able to fit the card. Nil Einne (talk) 06:02, 13 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Movie maker sought

What is highly praised?

Requirement is, something that can make me select points (from and to) of a video clip, more than one time in one go… – An easy to use tool is sought. A portable software is desirable, however…

Arranging video clips in a desired sequence can be done using a program called a Non-linear editing system. Wikipedia has a List of video editing software and a Comparison of video editing software. AllBestFaith (talk) 23:41, 12 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Password Protector; Lockdown protection sought

Peeps, what’s highly praised? Btw, I possess Folderlock (currently installed; this provided Bitlocker – I believe bitlocker is unbreakable, and good, unless you guys re-correct me), Keepass (Portable acquired, and wired), AxCrypt (needs internet connection)... -- Apostle (talk) 18:17, 12 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Apostle, it is not clear what your question is. Are you asking for "consumer feedback" about some encryption products? If so, Wikipedia's reference desk is probably not the place to use; it is intended for factual questions (eg "which company sells product X") rather than opinion.

If you read Wikipedia's article on BitLocker you will see that it is good but not unbreakable.--Shantavira|^{feed me} 14:38, 13 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
