[SOLVED] Unsure as to what a "Triple slot" GPU is and am unaware of whether my case or motherboard could contain it.

So I want to get an RX 590 GPU and the model I'm looking at specifies its width as "Triple slot". My motherboard is an ASrock AB350m pro 4 and my case is a Zalman ZM T2 plus ATX mini case. I appreciate any help.

Triple slot just means that the card's outputs and cooling shroud take up three expansion slots. On the motherboard you have, you'd have to install this card in the top PCI-Ex16 slot. The cooling shroud would cover the bottom PCI-Ex16 slot making it unavailable for use.
