Z190-A compatible with AMD R9 390

[soakka]

Hello! I've been making a build on PC Part Picker, and I've come across a problem. So the motherboard I've picked out, the Z170-a, looks really squished next to the pci x16 thing. I'm going to be using a large gpu, the r9 390, and i'm not entirely sure the card will fit into the slot for a single gpu. If somebody could look over the motherboard, that would be nice. I also have another motherboard, so could somebody also check that one if it will fit, because if the z170-a doesn't work, ill just get that one.(I prefer the z170-a because of the price, but mainly because it is white and black, which will match my build.)

GPU : https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=r9%20390

Mother Board #1 (Preferred) : https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=z170-a

Mother Board #2 (Would rather get the #1 Motherboard, but this one is acceptable) : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130873&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-PCPartPicker,%20LLC-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=

Thanks!

Hello soakka,

The Z170-A fully supports the R9 390. The card will fit OVER the white heatsink on the lower right hand side that you're probably worrying about.

Example of a build onto a Z170-A, look at the 1:19:00 minute mark for the card installation. Uses the same size card as the R9 390: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bAVTdwFwYPA
