    Question Antec One case - Sapphire HD7850 g.card - Can't use HDMI ports

    I'm not sure if this is an Antec or Sapphire query, but I'm hoping this forum will bear fruit.

    I have an Antec One case and I've just fitted the guts from my old PC along with a Sapphire HD7850 graphics card, which comes with an HDMI out port.
    My monitor has HDMI and built-in speakers, so I'd like to use an HDMI cable between the two.

    I have a spare HDMI cable, but due to the case design I can't push the HDMI connector home far enough to get a connection. There is a ridge that runs along the edge of the case cut-out for the PCIe slot, which stops me from pushing the connector in further.

    I can't move the card to another slot, so I'm assuming I need to hunt for an HDMI cable where to connectors are a lot thinnner, so I can push them fully home, unless anyone can make a suggestion ?

    What motherboard have you got? If it has several PCI-E slots you might be able to move the card
    Main - Intel Core i5 2300 @ 3.5GHz, 8GB DDR3 1333Mhz RAM, Asus P8P67 Pro, Coolermaster iGreen 600w, GTX 480, Antec One Case

    It's a Gigabyte GA-H61M-S2PV so only has one slot, sadly

    I have the same problem, I got round it by using this adaptor for the DVI output. it should output sound too.

    Thanks for the link.
    I didn't think DVI carried sound, but I'll take a look.
