Hello,

I just ordered a MSI gtx 750 ti low profile card for my small form factor PC and looking at the motherboard, I'm a bit worried because some large capacitors (tall metal things) are very near to the pci-e slot and I'm worried that the gpu might not fit or it might touch the capacitors.

- If they touch, would it be a problem?
- Should I be worried?
 
Solution
Usually caps in that area are low enough to clear things. But it can happen. Often you can cut some plastic or grind some cooling fins on he card to clear them. In extreme cases the caps can be relocated using small wires to let them lie down or move over. A TV repair technician can do this for you.
