ram touching/pushing gpu

[NewBuilder]

First time build and  got all the parts assembled and noticed something concerning. My ram is touching and slightly pushing on the back of my gpu, is it safe to try to run like this?

Can you post a picture? most likely is fine but I would love to double check for you

What do you mean? The bottom of the ram stick is touching the GPU? Can you post a picture? I'm 90% sure this is fine, but might as well post anyway

I'm running the team force night hawk so the heat sink flairs at the top. And I'm running the gigabyte liquid cooled 2080. It's not touching the board there's a metal backing plate. This does push a bit on the card. Reinstalled with ram out and the back plate on card is pushing on the plastic ram slots so I'm not sure getting streamlined ram would help. Everything is seated far as I can tell.

im going to guess thats a asus TUF H310M-PLUS GAMING? (only one i can see that the pcix is so close inline with the edge of the ram...the z370 has more room...did they not take into account backplates on cards? wow

ah ok i missed that one in the list...but again my god how close they set the pcix...so it looks like you cant have a backplate or flared ram for the long cards without it touching

I've got some boards with the ram slots that close, mainly compact Matx boards is where that's common.

its not gonna hurt anything if the ram pushes the gpu down a little. Chances are the gpu will sag anyway over time.

It's a horizontal mounted board, ya Micro atx, I was less worried about the slight angle it pushed at that end of the card, would be simmalar to the sag on standard chasie, I was more worried about electrical contact transfer?
