Posted January 17, 2016 I have an MSI 980ti Gaming 6G and my case is an S340. Neither manual was helpful with this: are the "prongs" at the bottom of the HDMI/VGA/DisplayPort outputs supposed to go between the motherboard and case? It feels wrong but I haven't figured out if it is. Edit: Thank you guys so much! I couldn't find anything about this online but I got answers here instantly. Also, if I dropped the GPU on the mobo (like lightly, not a drop but more of a very slight fall) could it damage anything? It was really light, it fell like 2 inches.

Posted January 17, 2016 If i understand you correctly, yes, there will be a small gap between the motherboard and case this slides into.

Posted January 17, 2016 Author yes they do not go outside the case Awesome, thank you. Since you have my case (S340), how hard was it for you to install the screws to hold the GPU in place? Mine are a pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 17, 2016 Author easy, because i used a screw driver and i always make sure the thread is lined up correctly before screwing it in Oh I'm dumb, an IO port cover was still on, that is probably causing the issue. Do you think I can remove it if it's poking outside the io shield, or do I have to remove the mobo and put it on again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IO on the motherboard or GPU you should be able to take it out without removing any parts...

I want to use leverage from a butter knife or something similar to get it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
