I am building a new pc and have run into a slight issue: The backplate of my gpu is hitting one of the RAM clips and keeping me from putting it in the slot. Is there a way to remove the clip from the motherboard? Or could I trim the clip down? I can't remove the gpu backplate or move the gpu to another slot(without having a severe bottleneck). I only need 1-3mm of clearance for the gpu.

Any help is very much appreciated!

 

Specs:

Mob: Intel s5520hc

Cpus: 2x e5530 xeons

Ram: 16gb(4x4)

Gpu: Rx 580(xfx black edition)

Case: Phanteks Enthoo Pro

Psu: EVGA 850w gold

Moving the GPU down a slot may not affect performance depending on your motherboard...
