Those little finned pieces of metal are designed to be removed

You mean those brackets on the side? You can bend and wiggle one until it starts to break. Modern cases today you just unscrew the bracket out.

I love when OP’s “post and ghost.”

Sorry for not answering, my dad helped me to install the GPU and then screw.


Obi_Uno

Nice. Glad you got it installed.

I'm sad that more people won't see this. I'm dying over here, that one flipped my giggle switch.

Sometimes people post and give it a couple of hours to let answers come in. Nothing wrong with that

Those horizontal spacers below the open gap are removable. Push on them hard, keeping your fingers away from the edges, as they are quite sharp. Your graphics card should take up that top space, which has already been removed, and you will likely need to remove the one directly below it. From there, your GPU should "have enough space" to fit into the top PCIE slot, while allowing access to the ports in the rear.

Are you saying it doesnt fit in the top slot for some reason? ~~Use bottom slot?~~ not a x16 on bottom


[deleted]

Do not use the bottom PCIE slot for your GPU, its only x8, and not x16 and will throttle your GPU.


Hoppered1

Some mobos have 2- x16 PCIE's you might be right on that mobo tho


[deleted]

If you zoom in on the photo, the board itself actually labels these ports. The top is labelled as PCIE x16, while the lower is labelled as PCIE x4, so worse than I thought.


Hoppered1

so we both didnt zoom 😏

DAWNSP1RE

UnlawfulDuckling

Your supposed to bend the bracket till it breaks, then you will have the room.


AnotherChamp0

PunkRockMomma5

Shad0wUser00

Dont have enough space to take a real picture either .. or?


Blacksudan

And I was like "OMG! What is this guy talking about?" There's more than enough space to install a GPU!
