[SOLVED] Does a MSI-B450M-A-PRO-MAX work with a xt 5700?

[hav0k304]

Hi all, I've made a bit of a mistake when buying a motherboard and did not fully check the specs, I've bought an MSI-B450M-A-PRO-MAX and just noticed that it only has a PCI 3.0 slot and not 4.0, will this GPU work on this board as it states the 5700 xt is 4.0 and if so will it slow down the card? also, the card is a bit on the large size card will it fit inside a Corsair SPEC-DELTA Carbide cheers.

Yes, it will work fine. There is really no appreciable difference between using a PCIe 3.0 slot and a 4.0 slot, with your current hardware. It is 100% not a problem.
