How can this fit?

[Random_User123]

No idea how to make this fit, I can remove more slots, but there some metal in my way, do I just gotta do it the old fashioned way and cut the metal off to fit the gpu?
If I do that it'll stick out awkwardly..

I think this is just a simple case of rotating the card 180° and trying again. It's a common problem with USB sockets, not so much PCIE but there you go.

 

The GPU fans should be facing downwards, and the HDMI and Display ports should be to the outside of the case.

i think they're trying to be funny or something

I'll try rotating it, but will that have any affect since the psu will blow against and the gpu is blowing too so..

I dunno, Looking at his profile he does seem to need a lot of help.

When it's facing downward it won't fit inside the pcie slot.

it almost looks like in the picture that you didn;t take the rubber protector off the edge connector on the card

Which way is the correct way, the way I was doing it first (Fans facing up)
Or the other way (Fans facing down)

[emosun]

it only fits in one way.

protip , the plugs on the card where you plug the monitor in..... you'll want those to be on the outside of the machine yeah?
