Hi, I'm facing an issue with my build. I have an ASUS TUF RTX 5070Ti with a 62.5mm thickness and an ASUS TUF B650m-Plus Wi-Fi motherboard. The thick GPU is covering the bottom of the board, making it hard to use the connectors there. I'm using a Lian Li Dan A3 case. Someone could help me find a solution or suggest GPU brackets that would allow installing the GPU just a few millimeters away from the board while keeping it horizontal. Thank you!

Update your update with complete hardware details and operating system information. Provide PSU specifications, power supply make and model, wattage, age, and condition (original, build, refurbished, or used). List all connected peripherals. If feasible, share a few photos of the issue and upload them using imgur (www.imgur.com > green "New post" icon).

If you have fans in the bottom, take them out and connect the GPU wires first. Arrange the fans properly, then reinsert the GPU. When the connectors are securely fastened, there should be enough space left. Pictures can assist with this process.
