My new gpu doesn’t fit because of the mic in , line out, line in. What do I do

[3x0]

I don’t know how would I check that? Do I have to open it up to see the information on the pc?

There's a visible label on the PSU from the side the glass panel is on. As for the GPU, surely you know which model you bought?

 

[Daisy-Jayne Pickess]

Does this help?

You won't lose anything that's stored on the SSD or HDD. This will give you a lot more room to work with. Used AM4 motherboards should be pretty cheap wherever you are.

Ok I’ll have a look but I might have to wait until my next payday to do that

 

[R0H1T]

This does seem fine, you can't slot the GPU all the way in?

 

[tabascosauz]

Does this help?

What is this picture trying to show? The card isn't even aligned anywhere near the x16 slot, it's literally diagonal.

Line up the PCIe slot instead of trying to line up with the back of the case, then see how much of a clearance issue it is. Take the PCI add-in card out first so you don't cause extra trouble for yourself.

The problem isn't even the mobo I/O, it's the fact that the Red Devil is a 2.25-2.5 slot card and you quite literally only have 2 slots of space if you leave the PCIe Wifi card in. There is physically a lack of room for your 6650XT to fit in the space that you've given it. Remove the add-in card, and line up the GPU with the x16 slot

there's got to be something tragically wrong with that motherboard for that gpu to hit that last IO component. That is not normal.

My pc is laying on its side so I can spot the gpu in, I haven’t moved it.

Thanks for the better picture, but again even forgetting about the mobo I/O, it is literally not possible to fit the 6650XT Red Devil in a strictly 2-slot space that you have here. Wifi card needs to go or else this will never go anywhere.

Okay next Monday when the extension comes for the Wi-Fi card i will move it and try again. If it still doesn’t work I’ll come back and ask for more advice. Thank you

Why wait? Take out the Wifi card, try putting in the GPU. If it doesn't work put the wifi card back in.

Are you planning on using the EZ-DIY riser for the Wifi card? It won't work, it needs either a x16 slot or some sort of open-ended x1/x4 slot - both x1 slots on your board are physically closed and can't accommodate a physical x16 connector. Even if it were an open-ended x1 slot, I'm still not sure if the riser assembly would clear the GPU shroud.

Without resorting to a new mobo or new GPU, you could consider a USB Wifi adapter. They don't tend to be the best, but there are some higher end ones out there.

Because I don’t have a screwdriver right now and the toolbox we have will wake my family because everything is loose, it’s the middle of the night for me. I’ll have to get it in 6-7 hours when my family is awake

Get a different gpu or larger case

Exactly. I didn't know what that PCI card was at first, but the GPU is triple wide, it's going to cover 3x slots. Still my guess based on the pictures.

 

[cvaldes]

Ah, it wasn't clear initially that the small PCI card was for wifi however the extension cable might still be useful. Send it back if you don't need it or if it doesn't fit.

At this point it's best that I bow out of this discussion.

Best of luck to OP in finding a solution.

 

[dorsetknob]

A 3 slot GPU needs the space of 3 slots "so having one of your only 3 slots occupied with an add on card" will probably mean it won't fit.
your need to remove add on card for card to fit (or change m/b)
alternatly go with USB equivalent.

PS please clarify that add in card ? is it wi-fi as your motherboard has all the required mic/audio ports

Have you tried removing m/b from case and then checking GPU fitment/alignment on a wooden desk this would Remove any doubt that the case or the M/B is at fault ?

 

[Bomby569]

i think he doesn't have much money and he's trying to get by with what he was, i don't think telling him to throw money at the problem is helping in any way. The same for shaming him for having low end parts. Come on guys.

Let's see if he tries it without the wifi card.

 

[droid-I]

Yes, remove the Wi-Fi card(which it seems to be as there is an antenna connector).
If you really need Wi-Fi, get for instance a Wi-Fi USB adapter for a few bucks.
eg. TP-LINK TL-WN823N WLAN 802.11b/g/n or TP-LINK ARCHER T4U WI-FI USB

PS. some newer cases do not even need to use a screwdriver for fastening a
PCI-e card, they have screws that can be tightened by hand.

Cancel the order as you are wasting your money.

I would do this before you spend money on any cables, as it will not fix the issue of the video cards back plate hitting the rear audio I/O connector shield.

OP's Photo of their rear I/O panel.

Asus did a bad job with this board (As did a few other manufactures with the 320/520 series boards.) and the audio connector placement. It is so low, you will have a hard time plugging in a mic and head set into it and will probably break the board 3.5mm jacks. This is what is causing your issue and the cost of a 16x PCIe with vertical video card mounting to fix it, you would be better off buying a new motherboard and transferring your parts to it.

You could force the video card into the x16 PCIe slot, but it will be bent on an angle and will probably start to give you issues if a few weeks as it pulls the slot connector from the board.

I would get a newer AM4 motherboard and swap your CPU and RAM over to it. Windows should still boot up but give an error message about the key already being used. So, you will have to get with Microsoft to allow you to reuse the key. In some cases, you might have to get windows to fix the install, in which case you should not lose any data, but some programs and games may not work and have to be reinstalled.

Look at something that might have the wireless built into it Gigabyte B450M DS3H WIFI Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard (B450M DS3H WIFI) - PCPartPicker

On a side note, I would get another stick of ram the same size you have and run the memory in dual channel mode, as it will speed the system up and make your game run a bit faster.

Remove the WiFi card and buy a wireless USB dongle. Problem solved.

Save up for a new mobo and leave the mini/micro boards for the mini/micro builds.

When I originally read his post, I was surprised by all of the "move the wifi card" comments

Seems like he's said multiple times that it's the audio connector placement that's interfering with the card.

Obviously in this photo (post #52) he doesn't have it physically in the slot but what he's trying to show is what his issue is (the back of the card is just barely rubbing against the audio connector portion of the motherboard

Looking at it more I wonder if that rear shroud/heatsink on the GPU is removable without causing any issues?

The images provided provide a slightly horrible point of reference to see what the actual issue is. But if that is in-fact the case the only real solution is a new mobo, you can use a riser cable but it would give shit performance for gaming.

90% of backplates are 90+% cosmetic, closer to 100% on midrange cards like this one. So it probably can be, but it also looks like the shroud will need to come off to get at several of the backplate's fasteners. I'm not familiar with this particular HSF, but many shrouds don't come off without removing the HSF, which would mean repasting the die. OP has described themselves as inexperienced with PCs, so I've refrained from suggesting this particular course of action thus far.

If the ribbon/riser is full x16, why would that affect performance?
