Hi, I placed an order for a 5070 MSI trio, but it doesn't fit my Phanteks P500A because it's too big. The ASUS B550-F MMO slot is also too long to fit on the bracket and slot. Would it be possible to get a smaller card, such as a dual fan version, or would a new case be an option? Also, I had to push the GPU against the back bracket and force it down—being a bit nervous, but it worked out. Thanks for your help!

It seems the clearance inside is acceptable, but locking the card into the slot is blocked by something called the "bracket." Could you specify which bracket you're referring to? For example, are you talking about the I/O panel? Your concern is similar to another issue where insertion was difficult and required extra force. Also, could you confirm whether the right side has sufficient space for the GPU, as it appears to be clear from the pictures?

Where precisely is the 2mm issue located? Ensure there is enough space in both width and length for this GPU to fit with your case and motherboard. Capture an image and share it on a platform such as imgur.com. Provide a link here.

The card is too long for the slot, that's what I meant by the bracket. I'll include pictures. Thanks, I got home and tried a bit of force to fit it in, everything worked out fine. I was concerned about being too harsh.

Thank you for the previous response, it worked well. I managed to brute force it.
