Compatibility question

So, I've built my PC, up and running but still missing my new GPU.
And I still did not receive an answer from ASUS.
So fellow overclockers, which RX580 8GB card would fit into my ROG Strix B350-F board?
I'm afraid of it won't fit due to the heat sink next to the PCI slot.
I'm looking at a Sapphire RX580 Nitro+ Special Edition or Sapphire Radeon RX 580 Nitro+ 8GB.

Alternatively, any suggestions?

What sort of pc case do you have?

It is an Aerocool LS5200. Length wise it is no prob I'm fairly sure.

DAMNN! Thats a nice Case.

I'd say the GPU should fit fine. GPUs are quite high up when fitted in, so your gpu probs be able couple mm above it

all GPUS clear the heatsink located at the bottom/left side of the board

most people struggle for length or depth of a card in their given case

Your case takes gpu's up to 346mm long so length isn't a issue. Surely Asus hasn't bulit a motherboard that has a heatsink that sticks above the height of the pci-e slots? If it is level with the slots then it will be no problem.

Why spend that much on a RX580 though? You can find GTX1070's for that price which are quite a bit better than the RX580 and a lot more power efficient. If I was looking at spending £380 on a gpu that is where my money would be going. It's nothing to do with Nvidia v AMD it's all about getting the best for your money.
