[SOLVED] Gpu won't fit properly into MOBO

[Fidge376]

Hi, so I have an sapphire nitro rx 570 4gb card and have placed it into my {old I know} Intel dq57tm mobo... Problem is that the card will not fit right in the PCI express slot because of the ram slots seem to be in the way.

I checked with pc part picker and the components are compatible apparently. The Graphics card is recognised and works but my question is will it be OK for a week or so until I get a new mobo.....??

Motherboard was evidently designed to accomodate only single-slot cards, not 2-slot/2.2-slot ones like the RX 570.

I personally wouldn't be happy using a card that didn't sit properly in the slot.

OK cool thanks.

OK. Foxconn P55A would be suitable??
