Hi. I would like to know how do I know if my video card is low-ended or high-end. I installed a Thermalright HR-05 SLI on my k8n neo 4 platinum to replace a Northrbridge damaged fan and im not sure if a High-end video card could fit. If you need a pictute to see please let me know

The manufacture of the boards should supply all the specs of the board. Especially the dimensions. Your chipset heatpipe cooler is very big. I have had issues with bigger boards interfering with memory and SATA connectors so it is possible.

They seem to be able to fit cards in, but just barely.

Looks like a "DFI halloween party" motherboard.

Rotate the heatsink 90° so that the radiator fins are above and behind the video card. Just don't buy a card with a passive cooler and then you should be safe.
 
As an alternative, you could use water cooling and a small radiator/pump, then nothing would be in the way of your expansion slots or you could check ebay for an oem part.

It looks like you have a $30 Geforece with turbo cache, a very low end card. I know because my neighbor needed one for basic video and we chose it because it was cheap.
 
this card is a msi Rx300SE based on a Ati radeon chipset. As i've been reading is the worst option i could've made. It's a shame i get to read it after the i had the problem. Yeah it was cheap. That what happens when u buy cheap things. U end up buying the expensive ones.
