heyas XS. I am in position to order a Liquid cooled ATI HD 4890. (http://www.pcgameshardware.com/aid,681633/Powercolor-Radeon-HD-4890-LCS-reviewed/Reviews/) Its a two slot design bracket.

Is it possible to take off the 2 slot bracket and put a 1 slot bracket on?

Do stores sell separate brackets?

koolance makes a nice replacement bracket thats 1 slot, there is 2 screwes holding it on and its easy to change.

also all full height ati cards with duel dvi use the same bracket

yes.
maybe. http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/sislbrforhdh.html <== 4870 hopefully its compatible?

edit: probably, looked at some pictures they appear to be identical.. no promises though.

I got mine from jabtech. Just be sure to make sure you buy the one with the correct layout for your card.

give Gary over at sidewinder an email and ask him he will definitely tell you if it is compatible or not and if not he has always pointed me in the right way :up: good luck with that

Indeed Gary is a real good guy, so you should have no trouble getting just what you need from him :up:
