Im building a New PC it has this motherboard - https://www.overclockers.co.uk/giga...4-x570-chipset-atx-motherboard-mb-57x-gi.html

Im wondering if my graphics card will fit into the PCI Express slot ive attached a image with a arrow below is the heatsink saying GAMING X be in the way?

My card is MSI Geforce RTX 2070 Ventus 8GB - https://www.geeks3d.com/20181130/msi-geforce-rtx-2070-ventus-8gb-gddr6-review-turing-tu106-gpu/

No problem, card will sit above it.

It will fit over the chipset cooler with zero clearance issues.

Would be a bad design if a GPU didn't fit in the first/main slot

The heatsink is only 5-6mm so will be good

Gigabyte would have designed the board with an expectation of large and long GPUs being put in the main PCI-E slot, it will clear the heatsink just fine.

Urghhh though, i thought we'd progressed beyond the days of annoying motherboard fans, they never last and sound awful (fans that size always do).
