Can't fit GF4 on an ECS K7S5A

lokem · Mar 13, 2002

I suppose EPOX is not alone on this one. HardOCP has a small news blurp on this:

Our pal George sent me a line expressing his anger at the fact that his new GeForce4 wont fit in his ECS K7S5A since the board smacks right into the secondary IDE header. We are gonna get some pics soon hopefully. I don't have jack for experience with ECS boards, other than I know they are budget boards... anyone else have the same problem??

I'm quite certain that the mem chips on the GFX card will interfere with the IDE header as shown here:

So Epox had problems with some capacitors.
ECS with IDE header.
Are they just craming everything they can onto these boards and infringing standards for spacing around the AGP slot or are Geforce4 cards just too big?
