[SOLVED] Will a red devil 5700 XT fit in a b450m?

[Mauplex]

I have an MSI b450m pro vdh max motherboard and want to upgrade my graphics card to a powercolor red devil rx 5700 XT, there are 2 sata ports at the edge of the board aligned with the graphics card that the graphics card will have to go over (because the card is VERY long), and I'm not sure if the card will be able to go above them. my case will be able to fit the card, but I don't know about the sata ports. Will it fit?

Boards like that are designed with a large GPU in mind if you look at the layout the top 2 are above the gpu slot and the ones under it are angled to still be used with a GPU installed.

So just to be sure, you're saying I should be able to put the new, bigger graphics card into that board?

If you are concerned get a couple of sata cables with 90 degree connectors and plug the 90 degree flat connection into the board.

That GPU will fit on that board with no issues, the 2 sata ports the stick up are above the the slot, you will still be able to use them 2 sata connecters as well as the right-angled ones, the only thing it'll block is one if not both of the them 1x pcie lanes, might not be a big deal for you though. You'll be fine even if the card is longer than the board. For ease of use, plug everything in that you need to in them right angles sata ports, it'll be easier before you install the card.

If it makes you feel any better I have an msi mech 6700xt(2 fan version) installed on an Asrock ab350 pro 4 board and it is just fine. And I do actually have 2 sata ssds plugged in for storage.
