Motherboard case line up issue

C-130 · 11 Jul 2009 at 20:54

Hi all. I have an Antec 1200 case and a ASUS M4A79T Deluxe motherboard now I just fitted the motherboard and ahve began to fit hardwrae into the PCI-E slots. However, this is not possible as the PCi-E slots do not line with the area at the back for the interface to go into. Can anyone help me? I really don't want to return the case or the motherboard but I fear I may have to.

I'd love to but I don't have a digital camera. And my phones camera wont take a bright enough picture.

That board looks like standard ATX and that case is one of the most popular, so it should come together.

Are the back I/O ports on the motherboard properly aligned with the I/O panel you installed on the back of the case? If not,you should move the motherboard so they are - then the PCIe ports should also be aligned.

Eerything is aligned properly form what I can see. Each section matches up on the i/o to the motherboard

How far out are they? Try loosening to motherboard screws a bit then fitting the cards, once they're in retighten the motherboard screws. The chances of a motherboard being manufactured with the slots in the wrong place is nil.

You are using the right try of card aren't you?

Do you have the spacers in correctly ?
