[SOLVED] Graphics card ports too close to the case slot?

[jack36]

Hi,

I have a problem with a graphics card Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1060. I installed it in a new case and it turned out that all the ports are very close to the case slot. When I plug in e.g. an HDMI cable or a DisplayPort cable the plug of the cable will touch the metal of the case.

Here is a picture with the ports:

I'd like to ask whether this is right and whether this PC should work correctly.

Thank you

Try unscrewing right hand side case screws of the graphics card and re-adjust it a bit downward until it's suitable enough then re-screw them back. I have the same problem with my AMD Radeon RX 580 8GB. and that did the trick. hope it helps!

Thanks for the reply. I've tried to change position of the ports but it seems like the PCI slot is too high and I cannot move the graphics card down even a little bit.

I can plug in a monitor cable but I am not sure whether this won't short out.

That was a silly question. Everything works fine.
