Issues with fitting video card into new PC

[Nutmart]

Hey all,

Just recently purchased parts for a new pc build and am having issues with fitting an old video card into the new case/motherboard.

The case: Corsair Carbide 200R

Motherboard: MSI B150M Mortar

and the video card is an old MSI GTX 560:

The issue I am having is there isn't enough space between the back of the case (where the DVI/HDMI connections of the video card would stick out) and the motherboard, so when I try to fit the card into the PCI, it still needs about 2 millimeters of space before it can slide in. I am really hoping I don't have to buy another card as this one works just fine, and I already bought another card for my old PC.

Thanks for the help

Should be a universal fit.

Sounds like you need to loosen up the motherboard, install the card, then re-secure the motherboard.

You have likely when fitting the motherboard to the mounting plate of the system case pushed it to far forward.

Remove the Pci-e graphics card from the system.

And undo slightly loose all of the screws used to mount the motherboard to the support plate for it of the case.
Push the motherboard back over till you see about a two milometer gap between the front edge of the motherboard and the cut out strips you Pci-e card`s video ports protrude out of the case when fitted.

Tighten all the screws up on the motherboard again.

The very front edge of the graphics card bracket where the lower tongue is should now sit between the motherboard and the edge of the outer system case where the 2 mm gap has been created.

The card will drop down plushly in the Pci-e card slot of the motherboard without any force being required.

Trying this now, there is a small post that seems to "key" into the motherboard, going to see if i can remove it, as its not possible to move the mobo with it.

Update: It fits, but it's an incredibly tight fit. I had to put some serious effort into fitting that key in. Will update again once it is up and running, hopefully!

Update 2: PC is up and running seemingly fine. I really had to shove the motherboard pretty hard to get the key to fit in and allow me to screw it down. I might say look for a different case that the Corsair Carbide 200R, as I have never had this problem with the other PC's I've worked on.
